Ryan Anderson and Clint Capela to Detroit for Andre Drummond+More, possibly KCP who hits the opposite corner 3 of Ariza at a good clip IIRC. I just don't know where Detroit stands on moving Drummond, they seemed desperate to trade him at the last deadline but at the same time they didn't, so maybe they aren't desperate and I bought into the fake news. At any rate- Offer Ibaka a contract or possibly Gallinari (I see Ibaka as a contender move, Gallinari as a lateral move) or Wilson Chandler Beverey Harden Ariza Ibaka Drummond with Lou Williams Gordon Ibaka and Drummond would get every rebound. It would be insane! Harden has a pick n pop outlet in Ibaka and a pick n roll outlet in Drummond. Both men can finish lobs. (Anderson can not) Drummond can sit if they hack-a-andre and Ibaka can get us to 2 minutes playing center. If I really wanted to reach here, I would offer Gordon and Ariza plus filler for Paul George. Spoiler: Team with George Beverley/Harden/George/Ibaka/Drummond+Williams but I actually enjoy the Rockets explosive depth. Another route if Ibaka is unavailable is Gallinari. He should be slightly cheaper. Spoiler: Team with Gallo Beverley/Harden/Ariza/Gallinari/Drummond+Gordon/Williams Lastly Chris Paul is another major free agent. I don't know if it's sexy enough to bring him here, but in that case, send Beverley (not needed with Chris Paul) to Detroit for KCP. Spoiler: Team with Chris Paul Chris Paul/Harden/Ariza/Dekker/Drummond+Gordon/Williams/KCP Im not sure if Dekker as a starting 4 is a good idea but there arent many options out there aside from bringing back one of my favorites, Josh Smith
I don't think we can catch the GSW, IMO. Cash in on Harden plus all others while the value is still high. Shoot for the team to peak in 2022 or so after GSW start to dismantle. Boston's picks are the best way to get there. Thanks for your service Harden. We will not tank but fight for the last playoff spot with a lot of youthful talent and the promise of the future. Better than the one man show and then watching him walk in a few years to get his ring. Hard to know when to push F5...
42 mil/yr playing with a bunch of role players or less money to play with other stars...would be stupid for him to commit to the Rockets if Morey can't do anything this summer
Still wouldn't be enough. Knicks looking for a top 4 pick to draft Jackson. I'm expecting a bidding war between Boston, Lakers, and Suns.
I think we would all agree that we have greater aspirations for Lou Will's somewhat valuable expiring deal, but if all else fails, I wouldn't be opposed to a straight swap of him for Danny Green.
Spurs make Danny Green and LMA available for trade. Spurs are all about chemistry, dont treat players as assets like Morey does.
Just imagining how the homeless communities in Houston will benefit from the great number of brickhouses Rubio will provide warms my heart.
This would be corey brewer part 2 a player who only seems to play well against us is signed by us. Pass
