Trade deadline discussion

The Bulls totally blew up their roster, Orlando is in full tank mode, the Wiz traded one pining first round pick Troy Brown for another Chandler Hutchison, Rodney Hood got traded to the Raptors, George Hill to the Sixers and Tony Bradley to OKC.

You forgot the Thomas and Wannamaker blockbusters.

There's no such thing as garbage time. In a game where we're up 40 to players you've never heard of, Quin still finds <4 minutes for the bench guys.

I think we are going to actually sit some players depending upon the schedule.
 
With the way he moves and shoots coming off screens, Thomas immediately reminded me of Korver. Not saying he will be as good of course (or even get meaningful minutes) but his movement and shooting motion look very similar.

They’d turn down trade offers.... and then turn around and buy him out? What am I missing?

They were very open that they would do whatever Lowry wanted.....I know it's tinfoil but the 2% chance of him getting bought out and signing with the Lakers doesn't sit well with me. Wish he was a member of the Heat right now.

Geez man I hope not.

perhaps they feel they have enough young guys developing on the bench. It doesn't bother me to use the seconds so much but I get more upset about not address our needs. Thomas might help but what about getting more length and athleticism on the wing. What does it say about the coaches confidence in the guys they have drafted in the 2nd round because none of them are getting minutes except for Oni and he barely does. Morgan hasn't seen any primetime minutes nor does Brantley. So trading the seconds are that big of a deal if we are not even playing the ones we have. I was hoping Hughes was going to step but now it is obvious he isn't in the immediate plans. Where is this Thomas guy going to get minutes?

I don't really care much... its just a weird deal. As you mentioned we have young guys but they can't develop by sitting on the bench. Hughes only has a year left after this year so if he doesn't get some run he likely is gone.

I think we like our prospects and we have our first this year so the roster is a little crunched for projects. I just think if you have DM, JC, Mike, Joe then guard minutes will always be hard to come by. Not sure if this move means one of JC or Mike may not be returning next year but I've learned not to look too deep into it... Like when people projected Udoka would be our backup center to make sense of the pick but then they signed Favs... we just kinda do stuff... not necessarily some plan. Just wish we wouldn't use assets to do stuff when the cupboards are already bare.

Unless Kyle was willing to give up a bunch of salary in the process I doubt they would do this. Lakers could have at least save Toronto some money if they wanted Kyle. Even if the returning players are not ideal.

It'd be a super ****** look for the league imo. They might not care because the Lakers being good means more money for them.
