Jared Zwerling: Asik to be moved real soon, Atlanta/Millsap makes sense

If we want an LMA stopper we can just keep Asik or find a way to get the Chuckwagon back from Toronto.

What is their record?

 

I found it interesting Dmo didn't play a minute especially when we needed size against LMA. He might be used in a trade package and the Rockets and whatever team they are talking to decided to keep it safe.

 

or they are hiding him on the bench to prevent other teams asking for him in trades....

 

Rather have Milsap than Young or Hawes.

 

He has more value than those other two for sure.

Hawes' contract expires this summer and Young's contract is ugly.

 

Disagreed. Last night's game should exemplify why we need a dependable veteran in the mix. Sure, Jones has been great and looks to be our future starting 4, but at the end of the day we're a 'win now' squad handing the keys to the kingdom over to a 21-year-old.

A player like Millsap would be useful against anybody (including the teams you mentioned).
