    I have little faith in expanding a 4-team deal into a 5 team deal because we had high hopes for that to occur with the Paul trade but look at what happened. I didn’t even bother to even thinking that as an option because of our owner. Would I like to be pleasantly surprised? Absolutely but the next move or moves Morey makes are going to be in the margins.

    Tillman is a starf**ker though so maybe a name like Love/Horford would entice him to go into the lux tax

    We already did that for Covington lol. The only thing we could use from them is Baynes.

    Ive been thinking about this. But only because i have ahuge boner for harrell

    LAC wants pg help right ? WEll, he would have to agree to it , but we could trade them rivers ( i think tyson and thabo have to be included for salary matching purposes) It would thin us out at guard but maclemore and clemons can play there if harden or WB or gordon need to miss a game or two.

    IN return we get harrell. Then we use a tpe to get morris from detroit.

    Russ/Clemons
    James/Gordon
    Covington/ maclemore
    PJ/ house
    Trez/ morris

    mix and match and play small as you will.

    P.S this has a 0 percent chance of happening

    I don’t think it was them insisting. The money wouldn’t work in the end unless we included Trez’s contract.

    Oubre and Covington would be a great upgrade from House and BMac.

    Kelly Olynyk and Myles Turner can hit threes.

    Oubre makes 18 million per year and we don't have enough assets for him.

    We have Covington, Tucker, House, Mac (making a total of 24 mill) We don't need Oubre.

    Josh Smith, D-Mo, etc. are sitting there at home today, staring at their phones.

    THey have to get someone wtf is 5.8 million below the tax going to do for us, Would think at the least would get a 3-4 million dollar player. Still cannot believe we just got Covington. Grade D trade

    I bet it's going to be Tristan Thompson. He's definitely on the market and won't be in high demand. Plus he and Harden are Eskimo brothers.
