    Dwyane Wade is 31 years old. Would you guys trade Jeremy Lin for Dwyane Wade? I know I would.

    Me too, the guy gets busy in the paint... Won't have to worry about him lagging night in and night out, everyone just follow his hard working ethics hes also become a good leader. Just him being on the floor kind of like Ray Lewis makes everyone better. Z bo knows the business too, I don't think he'd rape our cap very humble guy now...

    LMA can't do it all..

    hes not a bruiser inside.. which we need. He'll just be a glorified pick n pop shooter on this team

    Arguably a top 10 PF? I'd love for anyone to list ten better power forwards. I dare you to try.

    Utah wants Favors and Kanter to start getting significant playing time. Main reason why they will let go of Jefferson and/or Millsap.

    Why would you ask this:confused:

    Wade = Pippen

    Lebron almost = Jordan

    Lin almost = Dragic/Lowry

    See the difference:cool:

    You aren't getting the point, he meant age doesn't matter if Zbo will be productive.

    Look for Royce White to be included in any 'salary Dump' trade scenario. NBA is famous for the 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' culture.

    If we do a team a favour by helping them dump salary, Morey should expect that team to take our head case.

    i think the basis for this thread to fluorish is that we tried to trade for Zach years ago..so they are assuming that we still have interest.

    But we are comparing Wade and Z-Bo.

    And J-Lin is untouchable due to basketball reasons.

    We've traded with Memphis in the past, so I wouldn't be too surprised if we traded with them again. However, I don't think Zbo is our target. First, it's Poopsworld and we know that site is as credible as me making something up. Secondly, Zbo's salary is huge - we'd have to work something out where we give up a ton of players or a complicated 3 team trade.

    Maybe this is a case where we're talking to Memphis about another player that no one is keen on (NOT GAY). If we're going to trade Douglas (maybe to a team in need of a PG) then we need a backup SG if we don't think Anderson is the answer (he's probably not). We could get a PG/SG ig we're unsure if Beverly can hack the NBA yet (he's got a tiny sample size). Memphis is stacked with Ellington, Bayless, Selby, and Wroten at the PG and SG positions. I doubt Memphis is ready to part with Wroten as they just drafted him. I'd take a chance on Ellington, Bayless, or even Selby. We give them Ppat or Morris (to make room for TJones or a PF we trade for from another team) and they give us Bayless. He's looked good in previous years and is still young.

    Using your logic the obvious target is Marc Gasol.

    He would help us but hes not the type of player on a championship type team. We can trade him when his stock is high.

    Besides he looks like the michelin man.

    ZBo is gonna be riding his prime for the next 3 years so from a player productivity standpoint he's worth it.

    from a cap flexibility standpoint if you see that your team needs to go in a different direction for the final 2 years of Harden's contract then trading ZBo shouldn't be a problem as some team, somewhere, will have no problem taking on an expiring contract belonging to a top 5 PF
