Im gonna strongly disagree on the Lawson dragic front... Both on defense, production and overall talent... It's nice to say he'd thrive in Denver, or Lawson would struggle, but that's just wild speculation... And i would speculate differently... I'm pushing for it because i need the defense... You seem happy with an ibaka/Dwight fc, and that's fine, but its not that good of a pairing outside of the defense... Anderson/Dwight is a much better tandem...Dwight nerds outside shooters... But i regress, if you wanna do it later, than so be it, but in giving up for now... Stems like that's what it would take...
Ibaka is a very good midrange shooter. Fits next to Dwight really well and in this draft, can man backup center. Talking strictly starting 5 the drop off from lawson to dragic isn't as great as ibaka to anderson
First, your under rating Anderson.. I agree ibaka is much better but Anderson is no slouch... Second, you keep arguing dragic, when I'm asking for Jarret jack...

I said strictly starting 5. A dragic/Jack combination is fine. As a matter of fact it's one of the better pg combos in the draft. I really dont need to improve the position, especially at the cost of a clear downgrade elsewhere. When going against better point guards, I like what dragic brings defensively to my starting unit. This game is about winning. If I lost Ibaka, I can name a couple teams I would lose to. As it stands, you have Kevin Durant, but you'd be toasted inside. I don't think I'm going to lessen my odds of winning through trade.
That's fine... But you're over valuing dragic, while under valuing Lawson and Anderson... It is what it is...
Anderson would be perfect next to Dwight. Ibaka gets lost on defense sometimes. Dunno how necessary it is to have both. The pressure Lawson puts on defenses is much more than Dragic. /random thoughts about the trade.
