So we traded CJ, Turner, Harkless, Stauskas, Swanigan, Baldwin, and Collins and ended up with Anthony Davis and Taurean Prince? Sign me up!

Edit: Or did we trade for Ed Davis and we signed Tayshaun Prince out of retirement?

Tayshaun would come cheap, wouldn't he?
 
I'm getting the feeling that Kyrie will be traded. He has proclaimed that he will sign an extension, but he really seems like a shit leader. Why does he think they'll offer him a supermax? Ainge is calculating enough to move before it can get worse and he walks for nothing in return. Something like this with picks from BOS and NY going NO's way.

Why in the world would NYK do that? I mean, they are a poorly managed organization - I'll give you that. But even if Zeke was still calling the shots I don't see why they'd do that.

Kyrie is theoretically the hometown kid and if they find a taker for Hardaway, they can open up enough space for KD in the summer. KD and Kyrie in NYC is sick.

And quite a bit or risk involved in maxing KP after he comes back from injury.

Hmmm. Okay. I still think it'd be stupid of them to trade a great player (though injured) for a super overrated player they'd have to give a SUPERMAX. Basically, I don't know why anyone would want to trade for Kyrie.

Yup. He's a fine bench player, but Terry will NEVER play him as a bench player.

I don't believe that for a second. If Neil got Terry someone who was clearly better he would start him over Aminu..... no question.
The problem is that as much as Aminu drives me crazy, he is still the best overall PF on the team. Is he good enough....hell no. But that is on Neil not Terry. Who else have we had on the team that can cover both a stretch 4 and a power 4?

It is frustrating that we have not had anyone better by now. And I agree with those who say start Zach at PF, but it's still debatable that he is better right now. None the less I would give it a shot and bring Chief off the bench. Especially if Jake starts as well. That at least gives us three 3-point shooters along side Nurk and Zach.
 
For the record, in most cases when a player is traded it makes him ineligible for the Super Max. Kyrie can't get it with Boston or any team he's traded to. The same applies to Kawhi. AD would sacrifice his Super Max if traded too.

Vonleh was better than Aminu. Vonleh only started when Aminu was injured (and even then, he was only a token starter).
If we got another PF that was better than Aminu I think Terry would actually bump Aminu into the starting SF role rather than into a bench role. Maybe not, but that's the feeling I get.

Good point I did like Vonleh better as well. But I am not sure he was head and shoulders better than Aminu. I still think Terry is rational enough to play someone like KLove over Aminu. Terry likes to spread the floor out as much as possible, which does give Nurk more room to operate, and is probably why he does not start Collins next to him until he gets his 3 point shot improved.

Carmelo Anthony’s NBA career might not be over after all. According to two sources with knowledge of Anthony’s situation, the exiled 10-time All-Star who remains on the Houston Rockets roster has multiple options available and is expected to pick one before the Feb. 7 trade deadline.There is no clarity as to whether he would be traded in these scenarios or waived and subsequently signed, but there are strong signs that he will play in the NBA again.

Works for me! The Rockets would obviously have to throw in a 1st rounder to the Bulls but I think they would do this trade. The only wild cards are if Melo would choose to come here and if the Bulls want to add salary for next year in exchange for that 1st rounder (Knight's contract is messed up on ESPN, he has 1 more year).

Did not know that. Ya no way Bulls do this without compensation.

Another similar candidate is Cleveland instead of Chicago, and Tristan Thompson going Houston's way.

I'm guessing the Rockets don't want to add salary beyond this year with how much they are paying Harden/Paul/Capela. It's been rumored for months that they would give their 1st rounder to anyone who would take Knight for an expiring though.

No he wasn't. Vonleh couldn't shoot a lick when he was here (scared to miss yips) and here was getting exposed in pick and roll defense. Hated to see him go but even your Aminu hate doesn't make Vonleh a clear upgrade.

They change his shot a little bit that made a big difference. It to bad our coaching staff couldn't figure it out.
