    Eh, kind of a mediocre bench player, but would still be an upgrade over Garcia. As long as we don't give up a rotation player (except Garcia lol) I'm down.

    My mistake

    Just looked at his career and you are absolutely right...dude has toiled in mediocrity since his rookie season!

    I still say he'd be an excellent addition as a veteran scorer and creator

    I thought Garcia is supposed to be the experienced wing. Looks like he is falling out.

    I'd love to have MD on this team. Very good shooter, passer and team player. Not a lot of play-off experience, but last year he had a pretty good stat line (in the play-offs) that would help this young team.

    4(G) 0 22.8(M) .567(FG) .438(3P) .889(FT) 4.0(RB) 2.0(AS) .5(ST) 12.3 (PT)

    Let's not focus on the obvious. It will only confuse the less informed...

    Dunlevy was a pretty good defender, note the WAS though. still, he's around the same range as Garcia defensively. good effort, good judgment, can be killed by athleticism .

    I do think we need another consistent shooter. more importantly it would let Parsons and Harden rest a bit more which hopefully translate into them playing better defense.

    Not sure if they'd like Dmo + Brewer though. and they already have a million 2nd rounder. but a mini 3 way should be easily workable. like Brewer / 2Pat and 2nd to Bulls, Dmo to the Raptors and Dunlevy to the Rockets

    Oddly enough, my first thought was that McHale wanted Sr. to be part of the staff.

    But if true, I like it. If only because ANY wing player McHale likes would result in Parsons and Harden playing less minutes. And that's always a good thing.

    Haven't watched his since Duke. Can he play the 4? If so I'd be willing to part with Caspi

    Why wouldn't Chicago? That seems to be a reasonable price for Dunleavy Jr.

    Cap space

    Brewer's salary isn't guaranteed, DMo is only paid $1.4mill vs. $3mill for Dunleavy. If Chi is serious about tanking this year and going hard for Melo, this would be a feasible deal

    expiring contracts and a draft pick. How much do you really think they will get for a 33 year old rotation player.

    You know what, after that Royce White fiasco, i wouldn't take anymore advice from McHale.
