If we land Mayo and Thabeet for nothing more than C.Lee and exprings I'll be content. Mayo IS a creator and can def be a go-to scorer that averages 20+ppg once he gets his swag back(new team). Thabeet has every physical tool i want in a defensive center except foot speed, but he can rebound, dunk(very easily and emphatically), and weekside block like its going out of style. Two peices i see being very significant within a year or two, possibly sooner once they get dealt..
Morey better be calling Washington Wizards right now and get me McGee and Hinrich for Brooks, Hill, and Jeffries!
I wouldnt mind Mayo and Thabeet. Mayo is a little damaged goods but has a ton of upside and so does Thabeet.
McGee is a young explosive player. The guy has a crappy bball IQ but not a thug or troublemaker so I would give him a shot. Worst case he turns into a defensive presence like Tyson Chandler, best case he grows into an all-star center.
Ok then I will take -Nash and Gortat from Suns -CP3 and Okafor from Hornets -D Williams and Jefferson from Jazz -Wallace and Jackson from Bobcats -Iggy and Speights from 76ers -hell i'm even desperate enough to take Bargs and Calderon from Raptors I'm not picky man just get a deal done, I don't care what we gotta give up for any of that **** the bottom line is we gotta reload because our team is ****.
I won't really be mad. At this point I'm used to it. Nothing really happened during the off season. I liked getting Lee for Ariza, but that isn't a blockbuster or earth shattering event. We failed to attract Bosh; we failed to attract Melo; we failed to attract Amare. We might need a youthful reboot and suck for a few seasons. We could pull the trigger for Mayo, Iggy, Curry, CP3, but at this point would they be going to a team any better than the ones they're on now? Scola, Battier, and Brooks have probably the highest trade value on our team when you factor in what they're really worth to what we could get in return. The Yao/TMac Era has been over long enough now, it's time to find our next super stars.

At the same time, I like watching good basketball as opposed to ****ty basketball. I've watched every game for the past 2 years and there are some that are chalkboard scratching painful to sit through. You can't blame people for losing interest in that.
Bosh licks Wade's arse, that's why we didn't land him. Amar'e is too big for his own shoes (cocky ****) whom is over-rated and melo still had hope in Denver. I have extremely high hopes for Thursday's deadline that atleast we come up with a Wallace/Granger/Iguodala-type player. Sir Daryl Morey please oh please fulfil our desire!
I would be disappointed if the team didn't have a CLEAR direction by the deadline. Don't mind if they go veteran win now or rebuild with youth and picks but please just pick one.
I'd take a not so great contract from Philly if they were to include Evan Turner. I'd also be interested in Mayo Grizz, and DeAndre from the Clips. Make it happen Cap'n.
CP3 and Okafor, mmmmmm nice. Morey is well aware of what we need, we'll get a big guy of some description in, i guess we just have to wait to see if he is going for the "here and now" approach or the "one for the future" cheaper option
