Denver shopping Mozgov, any interest?

[Blazinaway]

He's serviceable and not getting any minutes, I'd say we should take a look and it would not cost Hickson IMO - they don't need a Hickson type

[KeepOnRollin]

If it doesn't cost Hickson then ok sure. If it is going to cost Hickson then I hope we would get one of their other Centers at that cost.

So what is it going to cost then? Can't believe they want some of our other scrubs unless it is simply a salary dump for salary dump.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

No, unless it was for Nolan Smith and Freeland or Claver

 

[tester551]

Babbitt.... Come on down. You get to go to Denver for the next 4 months.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

No, unless it was for Nolan Smith and Freeland or Claver

I honestly wouldn't even give up Freeland or Claver for this stiff. I shouldn't say stiff as he does have some promise but... Nolan Smith, Babbitt (who I don't think will be resigned), or Jeffries then sure.

I think we're close, but I think higher of Babbit than you do. I think he's gonna be the best of the 3 white boys mentioned here

Babbitt takes one step forward and two back too much for my liking. For supposedly being a shooter he actually does that the worst of his skills. He is a better rebounder then shooter.

 

[magnifier661]

Actually Babbitt and Jeffries maybe something they would consider, since both will shed salary if they don't work and a player like Babbitt totally fits in the Karl type system.

 

[magnifier661]

This would be the deal.

As BrianFromWA stated, Jeffries gains even more value in the eyes of other teams if we wait until the draft to deal him. I think we hang on to him until then. You could probably insert Smith for him and DEN isn't going to care anyways as it is more to get rid of the Center then what they get back imo.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I don't wanna argue cause I'm about to go to bed, but I think Babbitt has turned into a pretty lights out shooter in the last few months. It's crazy how people can see two different things while watching the same game, but its all good!

I understand the love for Babbitt; but let's get real here. Claver is a decent back-up for Batum at SF. We don't have that starting center. Could this player be a starting caliber center? Maybe not, but getting a decent center type player without even using Hickson is ideal. We have the shooters already. What we need is some fucking interior defense!

Babbitt is streaky as heck though, don't you think? He is only shooting 32% from 3 this year.

HUH? he's a 3pt specialist whose 3 pt shooting frankly sucks this yr - 32.6%, and his overall FG% is 35.8%, the guy is frankly shooting like shit - I say adios Luke

[PHXBlazer1]

And I still say he has potential to get better as a 3-pt specialist...I don't see anything that Claver or Freeland could become special at. At least Joel got his FG% above 10% though!

Joel Freeland is right now shooting better from the field then Babbitt.

Comparing Apples to Oranges though. Different roles on the team. Claver and Babbitt is a closer comparison at least.

Claver is a damn good role player if he could get his timing down and learn to finish around the rim. Also if Claver just develops an average mid range game; his value would go even higher. We have the scorers. We are lacking the bench. Claver is still young and can develop into a solid bench player. We won't need him for anything more than 10-15 minutes a game; giving Nic 10-15 minutes of rest.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Babbitt has hit more Chalupa shots than Freeland and Claver combined. Learn the game, then post!

Haha

Classic

Hahahaha, but with every awesome play or shot Babbitt has hit; I remember seeing many more mistakes. Last night was a terrible glaring mistake when Durant was ISO'd on the left wing on Batum. Freeland and Babbitt were both on the right box. Durant beats Batum and both Babbitt and Freeland are staring right at Durant and watch him dunk. No help. That's fucking stupid!

What does Mozgov give us long term?

A better question is What does Mozgov cost us long term? Answer is nothing.

It is worth trading Babitt who we know will not give us anything long term for a 4-month rental to see if he can be an adequate contributor. At least Mozgov has the POTENTIALL to give us something long term as a defensive big C.

Answer is money.....I don't think I understand the question though?

Mozgov will cost us a couple of million in cap holds if we don't renounce him

Swap Babbitt for him. They get someone who could potentially spread the floor for them, which they need, we get a big. Cap holds won't be too far different, and really, if you have better options in the offseason, you just easily renounce him, no harm done.

Exactly. You get a free trial for 4 months. Doesn't cost us anything in the summer if it doesn't work.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes, interested in Mozgov.
