    I'm sure you wouldn't trade your analysis for anyone else's, you think your all knowing and always right. Well I take that back, you'd probably trade your analysis if it landed you rubio

    I always imagine anytime anyone bashes on Rubio- bbhollic feverishly wiping Doritos residue off his hands to try and type a super triggered response asap

    Okafor reminds me of B Lopez

    His off-court antics remind me of pregame R Lopez.

    Why do we care what Simmons or Bazemore says?

    BS was just mentioning that Okafor could be a nice fit off the bench for 10 teams in the league. The Sac "trade" was just a last second comment, saying there has to be a way to get Okafor off Philly & Cousins off Sac, since neither seem destined to remain there. Don't understand the unnecessary BS bashing?

    What's going on with Greg Monroe?

    A local caller mentioned something about his potential availability.

    He has been available from before the summer.
    He has lost 10 pounds and since then he has improved his D significantly. He also became even better in passing and getting steals. He's been the second- third best player this season and now the fans have done a 180 and don't want to trade him anymore. LOL.

    Does Nerlens Noel do anything for anyone?

    Definitely don't want Okafor.

    I think another 2015 Lottery Pick might be attainable, and a good target while his value is lower than it should be -- Stanley Johnson. He's really struggled to start the year, and might be unhappy with his limited touches/role. Detroit is trying to win now, and I think we could possibly entice them with a more proven vet like Ariza.

    And while I love Ariza, I think giving his minutes to KJ and Johnson could be great (though they'd both have to find a way to knock down their 3s at a solid rate).

    Johnson, at his best, is a strong 6'7" 240 SF who can handle, pass, defend and shoot decently enough. If he develops properly, he could be a great second creator (or third for now) on the perimeter next to Harden.

    Isn't that Dmo as well. Everyone seems to want Dmo back. Okafor has a bigger up side. I would rather have Noel though.

    I dont' believe he's available -yet- and I don't trust his ballhandling at least against starters...but nice mention.
    SVG himself has called him out. The team had made a plan for him for the offseason to train on his skills but instead of that he refused and went and wasted his time playing in leagues and various tournaments. He also doesn't like that he has to play off the ball. The idea he has for himself is laughably high at the moment. That's why he calls stars out in the media. lol

    Compared to Okafor DMO is DPOY.

    Don't see Stanley Johnson as a playmaker. But haven't studied him enough to say for sure. I do see him as a defensive difference maker and I think he would shine in our up and down system. Would gladly gamble on an Ariza-Johnson deal.

    But.....We still need that primary playmaker glue guy who defends great and can feed everybody the basketball. And regardless of Harden being the "point guard" we still need another huge dose of distribution coming from a second source to have any chance of winning a 'ship.

    I still think the future is very bright for Okafor, but he doesn't fit into this team...or the style of play. Noel would be a better fit for us. Oddly enough, I feel like Okafor is going to end up in Boston, Portland, or Washington.
