    The only players we should not trade at deadline are the below.

    These are all 2 way players with solid defence.

    The rest of the team we can trade for a superstar Gasol or Dwight Rental

    Patterson
    Morris
    Chandler
    Lee
    Lowry

    All of those guys are soft. We don't want soft guys so therefore we must trade the entire team. Right KM23?

    Is this thread a joke? Morris can't get in a game. Chandler a two way player? Patterson and Lee don't even start.

    Lowry is the only one you'd label as relatively untouchable, but even he can go if the trade makes you better.

    One star thread.

    Lowry Pat is just about it. I'd prefer to keep dragic and lee but they would probably have to be included if we get involved in a trade.

    I believe the scouts....that Patterson and Morris were drafted because aspects of their game were SOLID.

    Keepers: Lowry, Scola, Lee, Parsons, Pat *Kmart

    ***I think Kmart is completely underrated and we won't get equal value back in a trade.


    Get Rid of now, PLEASE:mad: : Jordan Hill, Thabeet

    Motie and Lowry are the only two I think. And even then, I'd be down for shipping Lowry if we're getting Dwill or Dwight in return.

    No one.

    Secure a superstar and then we can start labeling people untouchable.

    COURTNEY FREAKIN LEE IS A KEEPER?

    So is the Magic come around asking if we want to rent Dwight at the expense of Courtney Lee and a few others, you'd decline?

    Keeper does not mean Untouchable

    Keeper means you should keep them if nothing else comes around.
    don't try too hard to sell 'em out

    IMO:

    For sure staying: Lowry
    Probably staying: Morris, Parsons, Smith, Donuts, Llul
    Hopefully staying: Dragic, Lee
    Probably in trade talks: Martin, Scola, Dalembert, Budinger, Hill
    Who cares: TWill, Flynn, Thabust

    I am all for getting a superstar but wouldn't overpay for one. One superstar with a bunch of scrubs doesn't get you very far. See the nets, the hornets for all those years with paul, etc.

    For me try and hold onto Lowry, Lee, Patterson, Dalembert
    Keep the rights to Motiejunas, LLull, and NY 1st rd pick
    Look to trade Scola, Martin, Flynn, Williams, Hill, Thabeet, MIN 2nd rd pick
    If need be Parsons, Morris, and Budinger (could seriously get an upgrade at the SF)
    If a blockbuster trade brings a superstar then any player. But would like to keep the rights to those two players and NY's 1st.

    if dwight is crying that he can't win in orlando, why would you want to rent Howard? what in that roster is going to make Howard want to resign?
    It's a sad reality, but there aren't any superstars available. deron??? jaja! he can't even get that team to .300 in the east. I think you do attempt to make one last run at pau without giving up martin, and make batum an offer that can't be matched by the blazers. Since chandleur parçons played with the french legion, maybe he can recruit Batum.

    If you assemble a roster with allstars that got snubbed, you can contend. It's the only way now since Lex does want to wear his sockless shoes to watch his team lose to the bobcats.
    2012-2013 season
    Lowery/Sergio
    Martin/Batum
    Batum/Parsons
    Gasol/D-mo
    Dalembert/D-mo
    (martin's contract could be sexy by feb of 2013)
    mauryball can make this happen and that would be a nice team that can reach the conference finals.

    anyhoo, superstars don't grow on trees. you just can't go into the D- league and find some sensation that captivates an audience worldwide. no way!

    I might add, chemistry is underrated ...is as important as having stars

    3 allstars with Miami, and no real chemistry, still got to the finals but embarrassed themselves
