    He's lazy on defense and has terrible shot selection, but maybe he'll improve like Josh Smith did. Won't be mad either way. (Unless we trade DMo)

    It's not simple unless they want Brewer.

    Nobody let's a corralled player loose like the Rockets. I wouldn't give up DMO for him though.

    Which will be the minimum salary for rotation players in a year... I don't necessarily love the idea but i have faith Morey would only make the deal if it was garbage on the way out.

    Jones and Terry maybe?

    The major issue is that we'd be stuck with him for several years, if his deal was expiring and we could get him for only Brewer than, sure you do it, but you'd just be stuck with yet another bench PF you want to get rid of.

    Hope we get PJ Tucker back somehow. He can D up, defend 3 positions, bring toughness and hit the corner 3.

    Probably straight up Jones for Keef or Brewer for Keef

    I like this trade. Markieff hasn't been playing well and isnt a star by any means, but he's got some mongrel in him, and I think in the right environment he could thrive. We need that mongrel in our team, sometimes we are too 'soft'. And if we somehow got PJ tucker that would be hilarious, he is perfect for this team.

    Not a good rebounder or shot blocker. Consistently belo 33% 3pt percentage. He could help, but he's not the answer. You wouldn't give up much for this guy...

    Kieff gets paid 8 million a year. Jones will want that TT cash
