    Any team that decides to:

    Keep Brooks
    Trade Oubre and an expiring for an expiring
    Sign Dwight Howard
    Start Morris and Porter at forward
    Announce a firesale then acquire a rotation piece
    Give Wall that contract


    ... is a good trading partner. Unfortunately, not a good match for us unless they do something obscenely stupid.

    I assume he’s proposing a wall to keep Oklahomans out of Texas.

    You know why Texas doesn’t drift off into the Gulf of Mexico?

    Because Oklahoma Sucks!

    Don't understand why they released Rivers.

    Wizards traded Oubre with Rivers for Ariza. Suns released Rivers because they wanted to go with a young core.

    Beal should be their number one dude, but from what I've read elsewhere the thinking is that they are married to Wall because of his contract. There is also thinking that they are better off trading Beal for a nice haul to pair around Wall because of the contract.

    But now that Wall is out let's hope they go all in on the 'tank for Zion' strategy.

    Let's hope.

    Rivers is 26? Hardly walking around with a walking stick

    Yeah. I know including Nene would work but I doubt we’d consider that. I wouldn’t.

    Same here, Nene is looking ok after all, i thought he was done but seems like he can be still serviceable so, i don't think i would trade him with a pick (because that would be required too, i guess just a 2nd but you never know, might have to move a 1st for Kieff and his bird rights) for Morris, i'd rather keep Nene and get a third center for cheap (2nd rounder) or in the buyout market.

    Would be a faulty strategy for them as Beal is younger and already better and has years ahead of him.

    I want Kieff as a backup PF. I just want us to have one back up PF without losing anyone in our rotation.

    So do most of us, including me. It's not going to be easy to pull it off, even if the Wizards want to move him.

    Most def does. Ariza will be buyout candidate 100%.

    Everyone would be up for sale.

    How much is he going to play as a backup 4 though? 10/15 minutes? For us i guess that would be great in terms of depth and would give us another small ball 5, for him not sure but whatever, it's just that yeah, not sure we can make it happen all things considered.
