    I didn't realize that Charlotte traded Kobe for a top 10 player in his prime.

    I can understand why they would trade Wiggins, but if it was my team, I would keep him.

    I don't think so. Watching Kobe jack contested fall away jumpers in his "prime", and taking the ball away from a "prime" Shaq, I'm not sure he could coexist with THE PRIMARY ballhandler, who would be Lebron. Give me Lebron/Love pick and pops instead...

    Still won 3 championships. With that much talent, you can make it work.

    Poor Thad. From one horrible team to another. I was always hoping we could liberate him. I guess not.

    At LEAST Minny will try to win as many games as possible, Thad was the only one competing last year on that disgrace of a sixers team.

    Wiggins is going to have a chip on his shoulder to prove he is a star, they will be competitive next year..........but obviously not gonna make the playoffs.

    We could still get him from Minny, maybe. Hopefully for cheap.

    Except he's not poor at all and deserves no sympathy. When middling player is overpaid by a sorry team and has little trade value, he should expect to stay where he's at or be dumped on another sorry team.

    If Young is that cheap I'd like for us to steal him. Capela, Powell, Hopson, Gee, Covington and Canaan for Young.

    Big upgrade at the 4, we slide Motiejunas to the backup C spot, clear put all the NG contracts.

    Beverley/Smith/Johnson
    Harden/Daniels
    Ariza/Papanikolaou
    Young/Jones
    Howard/Motiejunas

    Could role into the season like that or package Jones, Motiejunas, Beverley, Johnson, Pelicans pick etc for a upgrade at the point like Rondo/Bledsoe/Dragic

    "PHI gets Shved, Moute, CLE #1 (from MIA)."

    Surely the Rockets can beat that package for Young? Unless Hinkie really likes Shved and Fresh Prince.

    Hinkie likes Cle #1. Morey won't give Hinkie a #1 for Young I bet. Thus we are out of the race.
