    I think Barnes is very available but we can't trade for him and tbh, we don't even need him with House, Oubre is much more talented and still pretty so, i still wouldn't mind getting him, but i guess he's available at this point, but i agree, we need more a PF kind of player.

    Marvin Williams in Charlotte is a perfect candidate, but, because he’s making 14 million this season, it would take a three-team trade to make it happen or he has to be bought out and choose to sign with the Rockets later this season.

    Boucher from the Raptors should be our target right now considering we have no big contracts and a glaring hole at PF / C besides Capela and PJ (who needs his minutes reduced)

    I'd offer a first for him at this point or multiple seconds. He's almost 27 so he shouldn't be impossible to convince Ujiri to trade.

    Boucher is a rising stud for Raptors.

    i'm not sure a low pick first would be enough for him, but i'm also not sure which first we can even trade away now that OKC owns half our draft

    Tough defender. Denver has a stupid amount of depth even without him and is just a hair below the luxury tax. Good target in a trade.

    Marvin and MKG from Charlotte are two wings I hope shake free in the buyout market, but we need depth asap so a trade may be the way to go.

    He’s basically the Nuggets’ version of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and would be a good acquisition. The Nuggets have way too much wing depth with Barton, Porter, Jr., Hernangomez and Craig.

    He's had three good games.

    Getting a first for a guy they signed as an UDFA is a coup. If they don't want to trade him maybe Anunoby would be available for even more (our two remaining firsts). If they don't want to trade either maybe RHJ, Stanley Johnson, Patrick McCaw or Norman Powell would be available for much less (maybe for a 2nd)? They have wayyyy too many forwards and we have almost none.

    Craig would be awesome.
    Any forward on the nuggets would be great frankly. Any of them fall out of favour we need to make a run.

    Marcus Morris from the Knicks has to be available (though in 2-3 months I guess) Again not sure what (Probably Gordon or Capela) we would need to give up.

    Crowder has to be available too. And I think would be a good pickup. Ariza would be decent & Barnes(for Barnes we would need to give up Capela I don't see that happening) but Kings have recovered from their slow start so they might push for a spot. (despite injuries)

    Unfortunately looks like Bobcats will be pushing for a spot in the weak east so they won't cut anyone.

    I'm in love with Robert Covington but no way we get him. But damn I want him.

    Unfortunately our biggest tradable piece is probably Nene. And he isn't making much after NBA effd us over.

    If we wanted another Corey Brewer we could just go get Corey Brewer.

    Oubre is my choice too. Acquiring a PF will be harder in my opinion, despite our pressing need for one.

    @treyk3 tbh i don't know how good that guy really is, and if he is that good i don't think Ujiri will traded him.

    I don't even think we have the salaries to match Marvin's contract, pretty sure he makes around 13/14M this season.

    Out of the question in my opinion. Ujiri will hold onto him like Pascal.
