Trade deadline discussion

[NAOS]

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.

It’s more than tinfoil. And way less than 2%

The Thunder have 34 picks the next 7 drafts - 17 1st, 17 2nd.

Boston moved Theis for Mo Wagner... the **** they doing... would have loved to get him. Give him and Favs alternating nights off... get a 5 that can defend and shoot.

I think Danny Ainge is washed.

Wonder if Olynyk is a buyout candidate.

Dallas just got JJ Reddick and Trey Lyles. That could be a lot of trouble for us. . .

We don't know how horrific any of them are. Quin gives them no burn.

Is it the chicken or the egg? My assumption is that Quinn doesn't play them because they might possibly lose a 20 point lead in under 4 minutes. From what I have seen, I don't blame him.

Houston has to actually put SOMEBODY on the court, right?

 

[NAOS]

A contender should've stepped in to grab Theis, super cheap to Chicago, good player.

Yeah, he could’ve really helped us. Damn. I wouldn’t have guess he was on the move.

Was it a luxury avoiding trade after the Fournier deal?

So Houston could have just had Levert and ends up with KO and a pick swap that will never convey. Tillman the genius strikes again. This saves them money... if KO will take a buyout to save money then Tillman will do it. He is the worst... just the worst.

Who's minutes he taking?

Maybe a little bit of everyone’s. Might be prudent to give guys like Mitchell and Conley a few less minutes over the rest of the second half of the season, and honestly wouldn’t mind taking mins from Niang.

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.

He was being called the best shooter in the world not in the nba, before he came over.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Was it a luxury avoiding trade after the Fournier deal?

Yes but still... he's their best center right now. He has a really unique skill set... If I was them I'd rather have Theis than Fournier.

I do like Wagner but he's not ready to be a piece on a playoff team.
