    Well MCW is already a bust, obvious impulse panic mode signing by morey in the early season, Ennis should work out fine as back up SF

    Suns got Richaun Holmes for CASH. That would be have been a nice get for Houston, tbh. DAMN

    Agreed - although I don't know if we could absorb his salary without sending someone out.

    Holmes looks like a good up and coming player. Too bad we missed him.

    OKC getting TLC in their Melo trade. Suns picking up Holmes for CASH. The moves at the margins can help re-stock the cupboard.

    Hopefully Morey can jettison Ryan Anderson and Nanu for players that can contribute.

    I think Nene is part of the secret committee tasked with keeping Melo's head in the right place. Hopefully it works out better than the secret committee to keep Ty Lawson sober.

    As soon as @cyberx posted this....NBA trade activity did pick up. Clearly the Kawhi thing was holding some things up.

    Probably because our FO is very high on IH and ZQ as our 3rd string bigs. Noel comes with some significant personality baggages.

    Saw that. I don't think he's on a minimum deal though. So we would have had to give up something I believe.

    But......we could trade for him now....Maybe.

    Yes, because after all, Morey is well known to be an impulse panic buyer as a GM.

NOW THE NONE BASKETBALL IQ HAVING POSTERS WHO ARE POSTING BAD ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR ARE THE CESSPOOL GROUP WHO ONLY POST KNEE JERK COMMENTATORS. "NO NO NO NO WAIT YES YES YES I TOLD YOU YES #REDNATION!!!" REALLY....
