    Completely revamp your forwards. The defense and offense would be improved. Tucker gets the back up minutes and 15-20 minutes a night at C.

    Westbrook/Harden/Covington/Collins/Tucker would be nasty

    The rotation would be extended to

    We also made a mistake with not resigning Shumpert who could have been a trade able salary. I just think itd be easier to move someone like House or Macelmore for good upgrades if we had kept our picks and then we woulndt have to move Clint.

    Why would Atlanta trade a younger, cheaper, and probably better Center for Capela?

    Orlando would prefer Reddish over Collins. Reddish has most superstar upside.

    Collins is too similar to AG and they are already loaded at PF:

    Jonathan Isaac (franchise player), Al-Farouq Aminu, Chuma Okeke, Amile Jefferson

    May need to give up FRP too.

    Another option:

    ORL: Reddish, Turner, McLemore, Rockets FRP
    ATL: Capela, House, Nene, Rockets FRP
    HOU: AG, Bamba, Huerter

    House and Mac aren't making any money lol. Who do you think we can get for about 4 mil combined and a pick ? This isn't about Westbrook it's about cheapskate tilman. I won't be surprised Clint gets moved as a salary dump now that the league projections are lower because of the china fall out.

    In my lifetime I have never seen a site overrate a player as this site overrates Covington. I would take House over Covington ten out of ten times and I think House sucks.

    They are looking at every C on the market. So clearly they aren't satisfied with Collins - they probably see him as not physical.enough behind Trae?

    Who knows why? But let's get the deal done before they figure out how soft Capela is!!

    Covington metrics defensively are off the hook. Like best defender in the NBA level last few years.

    Not overrated in the slightest. Think PJ Tucker but more agile, 6'8, long, and able to jump.
    There. Perhaps now you see why he is drool worthy here?

    Getting Collins and Covington would be terrific, like, seriously, incredible, also cause we could still try to get a guy like Noel or Baynes to boost the center spot with a healty and decent player. But like, getting those guys would be a dream scenario tbh, even as a fanboy of Daryl, i just don't see how he could make that happen.

    Bamba has been riding the bench for two years and nothing points to him being able to overtake Vucevic anytime soon so, i can actually see Bamba being traded easily, the problem with Bamba is that he's completely unproven to suddendly start on a contender.

    Would certainly be ideal. His ability to hit 3’s, even at a moderate rate, would be a big upgrade for us.

    He is better than house but house is younger and still developing. Many people on this site don't seem to get that. I think Covington is very overrated as a shooter. Defensively I think he is a good fit for our scheme and has long arms. I think he is better as team defender than individual. He doesn't lock anyone down. He can just be disruptive, which we can definitely use but at the expense of Clint? Only if we can get a cheap big with him.
