Send Leonard, Claver, and Barton to Sac town for Thompson and a filler.

Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter is expected to miss the rest of the season with the stress fracture in his foot, league sources tell Yahoo.

If a team like the Indiana picked up Lowry they would be super scary.

I am hoping they can pick him up but not seeing it. After trading for Scola, they gave up their pick and Plumlee. By taking any bad contracts with Lowry, they limit their ability to resign Lance.

Lowry is expiring so I don't think resigning Lance would be an issue.

Yes please.

However that might stunt the growth of trob

I thin kit's a bad idea to mess with chemistry for a potential marginal upgrade.

Hell no to Jason Thompson and his $20 million contract.

 

[magnifier661]

I think we really just need someone like Jerm, Evans or Dalembert type caliber. If we try and look too high, then we will have to give too much for a player that is giving us 10-15 minutes a game.

And Leonard's a 19.1 PER this year... why on earth would we give all that talent up?

Dalembert looked pretty crappy against us.

 

[magnifier661]

Dalembert looked pretty crappy against us.

The reason is he wasn't used in the game plan. He is having a 16.9 PER season. I'm not saying to get him because I doubt very much that Dallas will trade him. I am just using him as the type of caliber player we should look into getting. 2-4 mil type center

I bet Jamaal Magloire is available

I just threw up in my mouth!

I would really like to get Varejao. I think he is the perfect bench player for us. I just don't see us doing it though.

EDIT: It looks like Leonard, Freeland and Claver will get it done salary-wise. Cleveland would definitely get younger! LOL

Try making a Lowry trade with Indiana not taking a bad contract back.

I am willing to bet that Cleveland would want us to take back Waiters in that deal.

If that were the case, then we would need to trade Mo Williams, Claver, Leonard and Freeland.

Having Waiters on this team would be hi-larious.

SportSouth to use Phantom Cam at Hawks-Thunder game (free). ajc.com/news/sports/ph… #ATLHawks

SportSouth will use its Phantom Cam during Tuesday’s Hawks-Thunder game - a first this season.
The camera, which the network used at several Braves games last season, can record up to 5,000 frames per second. The camera makes for detailed slow-motion replays. The typical slow-motion camera records 380 frames per second, according to the network.
Tuesday’s game is the only Hawks game currently scheduled to use the camera.

Varejao has lost a step and the most games he's played in any of the last four years is 31. Do we really want to bring in the most injury prone center outside of Greg Oden?

I would really hate him being on this team. He seems like a chemistry killer.

For a back up center? I think he is a hell of a lot better than Freeland (no disrespect to him though). Varejao would be a damn good back up, able to play both center and PF. Lopez is averaging around 30 minutes per game. 18 minutes for Lopez at Center and an additional 5 minutes at PF. I know it takes away from T. Rob, but I think T. Rob can still manage to get 8 minutes in this rotation.

I would totally pick him up!

Tyler hansbrough? He has two years and is a mega scrapper. Maybe he could teach trob a thing or two

I think adding Lowry and Hansbrough would be huge. Not sure what it would cost or if Toronto would do it though.

Stephen Jackson signing with Flop City.

Would love to be a fly on the wall when Barnes and him argue.

Hahaha they look like they are reaching. Weren't they supposed to be #1 in the west by all the analysis from media?

They were both key cogs on the Warriors team that upset the Mavs in round 1.
