    KCP isnt bad at all.. hes only 25, can shoot the 3 well and has a 92.6% FT%. only thing i dont like is that hes 6'5. other than that, we could do worse.

    Suns can't take back Knight right? So that means Gordon is out or it'll be a 4 team trade.

    This coming out probably means it won’t happen.

    It doesn’t make sense to get Ariza now we already lost our chance

    Add Rivers to the list too.

    And also add Ben McLemore to the list.

    I wouldn't want to give up too much draft capital for KCP. If a pick, it should be heavily protected.

    KCP is a Rich Paul client and a flight risk. He is a UFA next season.

    Not keen on moving a 1st round pick unless a player has at least 2 years team control.

    As a "roster fit" KCP would be fine as a wing. And he is young and athletic.

    @Codman, @cyberx you hear anything?

    @ch44 in a previous thread said Saturday could get crazy.

    not good enough if a deal involving him requires picks IMO...I don’t see how a team in our position should be giving up draft picks in order to acquire a player of KCP’s caliber

    If you’re going to be giving up Knight and picks, would it not be better to just hold onto the picks if the best you’re gonna do is KCP? This team isn’t going anywhere.

    KCP is about getting rid of Knight OR moving EGO/Melo for an expiring, A FIRST, and A SECOND. (Philly/LA)

    This is a well disguised attempt at Houston trying to acquire LeBron in 2022. Smart move Morey, smart.

    I'm sick of players who are undersized or undergifted physically.

    Both Harden and Paul have physical limitations and need to be surrounded by long athletic players like we did last year. (see Mbah a Moute, Luc; see Ariza, Trevor). Instead we continue to stock pile undersized, t-rex armed players around them. We added one physically gifted player to the roster, he just happens to be a guard who can't dribble, pass, shoot or make layups.

    Look for Oubre, Look for Porter (both with wingspans over 7 foot) even Alec Burks has a 6-10 wingspan. We need height and we need length in order to switch and to create more disruption in passing lanes, not these undersized players who put up decent numbers where we convince ourselves that they are the answer. Additionally add Bruno to this roster because his length at the Center/Power Forward is something that will come in handy at times.

    Help Lakers to bite Rockets in the playoffs or in the future.
