So Garnett and Blatche for TRob, Wright, Meyers and Barton.....

At this point I'm not sure if Garnett has anything left in the tank, he has an 11 PER. Meyers and TRob have some long-term upside. Wright gives us an option at the wings. I'm curious to see how the 2nd unit performs over the next 10 games with Meyers at PF. It could help Mo and Wright's efficiency. Think I'd rather just stick with what we got.

I think the Nets debacle clearly illustrates the importance of coaching. There's a faction of fans that believes coaching matter very little - that the players are wholly responsible for Ws & Ls. But Williams/KG/Johnson/Pierce/Terry/etc know how to play better than most players in the league, and it doesn't matter one bit because they have no direction from their coach.
Put KG on the Clips and he'd be a very solid back-up. I suspect he'd also be a solid back-up for us, and he's exactly the sort of player we'll need once the POs start.
I'd MUCH rather have Robinson on the roster than KG, but KG would likely be better if we're in "win now" mode.
 
What's the consensus on Joe Johnson? Experts think Blazers need a third scorer, would he be that guy and is he an upgrade over Wesley Matthews?

I don't want to screw with our starting rotation or our chemistry, period. I do want our bench to play better or for the team to improve the bench. That means better players who are content coming off the bench. If that's Joe Johnson, then he'd be taking Mo's minutes, not Wesley's. If he's not ok with that, I'm not ok with him. Maybe CJ is the guy we need, but it seems unlikely considering he has zero NBA experience. A better vet backup PF/C would be a better investment than a SG, IMO.

No, Welsey is a better team player in our offense. Joe Johnson would be a downgrade.

But besides that Joe Johnson has $69 million remaining on his $123 million contract. No chance in hell the Blazers would have any interest.

Yikes. Is that the same insane contract he signed a few years back, or a new insane contract?

I wouldn't make the trade. For the reasons, you suggested. Chemistry. Wesley being a team and character guy is a big reason for it. Interestingly at the end of the year when they are looking for areas and ways to improve the team, I think it will be the two position. But I guess all that be determined on how the rest of the year is played out.
 
I don't see what's in it for the Nets.

There is zero chance we trade McCollum for anyone on that horrific roster.

Might as well say they want us to include Lillard to have any interest.

I highly doubt the Nets entertain any sort of trade with a team like us. They have gone way to far in the hole to stop digging themselves out. If anything they'd take on another overpaid contract like Boozer.

Simmons had an interesting idea; Lin+Asik+pick for Deron Williams.
 
Thats what I would do if I was the Nets. Trade Paul Pierce for Boozer. Trade DWill for Asik+Lin+pick.

C Asik/KG
PF Boozer/Blatche
SF AK47/AA
SG Joe J/Terry
PG Lin/Livingston

Chicago gets out of Boozer contract. Houston gets a 3rd star to pair with Harden and Howard. Brooklyn gets a frontcourt pair of Asik/Boozer that would be a good complement on offense/defense. KG could play less minutes as a reserve.

Overvaluing Much? Comparing McCollum to lillard is a little outrageous.

I'm not saying I'd deal McCollum, the nets just wouldnt have interest in our disposable crap.

Lets be honest, kirilenko or blatche would be good additions to our team skillwise

Yeah I'd like to have AK on the bench. But theres no way a half year of him is worth a lottery pick considered the rookie of the year favorite.

I don't think they'd have any interest in our scrubs like Barton either. Just as we'd have no interest in trading McCollum or Lillard.
 
The only part of that train wreck I would want and they would be willing to trade would be KG. A three man big rotation with Lopez and LA would make us contenders. I do not think we have the trade assets though.

I think Billy King will surpass Zeke for inept GM of the past two decades. The destruction he has reeked is remarkable.
 
Teletovic is shooting the hell out of the ball! Another great game from being the three-point line.

That team is on the verge of a fire sale. This guy could be a huge difference maker in the Stotts system.

He's like Babbitt if Babbitt had a clue.
