Another deadline move? Or is Morey done until summer?

    Those would be two big moves, doubtful. Would love at least one of those, especially if it's Noel and a wing like Jamaal Franklin. If not then I can live with Wilson Chandler and Larry Sanders.

    Saw someone just mention Brook Lopez... Not sure about the why and how on that one.

    I believe there will be another deal. We need another power forward badly. Wont be surprised to see Montrezl and KJ gone.

    Financially it's nearly impossible. We would have to break up the current team basically to get him.

    I do like Brooke Lopez and think he's a fit, but you'd have to essentially swap Ryan Anderson for him which creates another hole without really filling the actual problem at C. (not great d, not great rebounding)

    Is KJ + Harrel + Ennius + 2nd Rounder for Okafor a pipe dream?. Perhaps Noel instead?

    Okafors and Noel 4 mil contract really works for us with what we have

    I'd do KJ + 2nd for Tim Hardaway Jr

    Good point. This is the way I see it too. I believe Lou Will was our "big" move. Anything else that happens will be under that figure you mentioned or we'll just sift through the buyout dumpster.

    I liked the idea of Lopez here with Dwight. I hate the idea of Lopez on this team. Morey is not done. Something is coming. Probably super minor. Not sure Lou Williams wasn't a D'antoni play. Morey will pull off something that is a bit more Morey-esque.

    I almost think you can't make that deal because you'd have no one other than Ariza that could be a swing player at the 2/3. KJ is really your only guy now that can guard the wing if needed against a quick athlete.

    The roster balance is weird right now.

    Our wings and back court is set, all we need now is a big man.

    Options that I like

    O'Quinn
    R.Lopez/Gibson/Felicio
    Koufus
    T.Chandler
    Bogut
    Okafor/Noel
    Ed Davis

    All would bring much needed rebounding and size. We have Nene/KJ/Ennis/Dekker/Harrell that we could create packages with along with seconds or one 2019 1st for any of the above. Doubt we make a move for another wing like Chandler or Gallinari unless we move Ariza which seems unlikely.

    And how many minutes has KJ played per game this season? He's still going to ride pine even if Brewer is gone.

    If MDA didn't want to use him when he played Brewer over KJ I doubt things are going to change especially now that we have Williams

    Could we actually get Okafor or Noel? They were lottery picks...
