Re: NBA trade rumors

Interesting since it was reported locally a week ago that Thompson is staying with the Warriors.

Re: NBA trade rumors

I'm not wed to the idea of a three-point bomber big guy, but you need people who can shoot similarly to the people they're replacing if you're doing a "system" offense. In the case of TRob and Frye, you'd reverse who they sub in for, and play them as a burly body (Robin/TRob) who can do the pick and roll, and a willowy midrange shooter (LA/Frye). Freeland and TRob are two poor shooter with no range together, and the system fell apart, because no matter how well Mo emulated Dame, or Barton/CJ emulated Wes or Wright emulated Batum, the lack of spacing because nobody needed to really defend Freeland/TRob hurt. Frye helps that by keeping defenses more honest. Spacing spacing spacing.

I bet adding a legit shooter at the PF position and keeping everyone else the same would see our bench improve just because there'd be less need for Moffense, fewer broken plays, and more offensive consistency as players are brought in and out gradually.

I'm on board for less Moffense!

I don't think the Jazz are as high on Favors as a few of our posters are. This is the last year of his contract and I bet they dump him instead of over paying him. I can see them trading Favors to move up, and reducing their cap space and then absorbing Asik's contract.......(and maybe Lin's too) Then they would have a Turkish front line of Asik and Kantner

Yeah, he never broke out the way I thought he would.

He really doesn't have a killer instinct. He's a nice role player.

A watered down Al Horford.

I think they already extended favors, 4/50 or something of that ilk

Re: NBA trade rumors

Frye wouldn't be bad, but the problem I have with him is that he essentially plays the role of a wing, not a big. The team rebounding really suffer when he's in, unless you play him at small forward. He only shot 43% fg last year, and 5.1 rpg.

Some available free agents that have better rebounding and fg% numbers: Andray Blatche, Jordan Hill, Jason Smith, Kris Humphries, and Jeff Adrien.

I think if you have a strong offensive rebounder you are nullifying one of he or Robinson's skills when they play together OR clogging the lanes so guys like Dame can't drive. Don't you want one big who pulls defenders out? If he plays next to a great rebounder like Robinson what's the problem? On defense he boxes out adequately and Wes, Nic, and Barton are good rebounders for their positions.

Re: NBA trade rumors

I don't know if it was just a throwaway comment, or a poor assumption that it would. But last year, for Frye, the team's TRB% decreased when he was off the court. DRB% decreased as well.

He was also playing center next to the Morris' a lot of the time. Next to Robinson things may be a bit different.

Fez already edited his post to remove that error. Why would any team want Favors at that price for a late lottery pick? He's a very limited player.

Now that you mention it I do remember that from last fall. I was looking in Hoopshype and they did not reflect it.
Well in that case if the rumors are true then they really must be disappointed if they already want to get rid of him. Maybe he and Kanter don't mesh well on the floor.

I don't think it has much to do with them being really disappointed as much as it has to do with the fact they are extremely high on Parker.

There is a chance, but probably not a good one RT @Massimot92Ita: Dwight, do you think the Blazers ends up with a pick in Thursday's draft?

They don’t have a ton of room RT @BlazersBySagar: @Massimot92Ita I'd expect them to be more active in free agency, wouldn't you think?

Just thinking that all the trade rumors right now have to do with the draft and picks.

There is always a chance, Dwight. Pointing out the lack of cap space isn't expert insight, either.

the key is to see if Wade and Bosh do the same. If they don't, then this might indicate that Bron is gone
