anything that involves giving up BOTH al and paul better bring back a big in the process, even if it's not a starting-quality big. we can't legitimately expect favors + kanter to go 40 mpg at this point, and that's what we be left w/ if that were our depth chart. also, love turner's overall...

i liked machado. but he's spent almost the entire year either on the inactive list or in the D-league, so it's hard to gauge if he's really NBA-ready.

sorry for tuning out for a couple of days. my "under the radar" thing about vazquez is just that he's with calderon in that category of guys who are well-thought of, but your mind doesn't immediately go there when you start thinking about top PGs. honestly, i think vazquez is more "off the...

all it means is that fans have stopped buying jefferson jerseys as much so now they're sitting on extra inventory they need to burn. they probably never had that many jeremy evans jerseys to begin with, so they don't have to do crazy markdowns to get rid of them. i guarantee you that the guys...

i really like vazquez too.... under the radar, but a really good PG with facilitation skills, great size, and a good basketball IQ. perfect type of guy to fill in for mo and then later play alongside him at times.

interesting note on bledsoe from marc stein's weekend dime: looks like you can take any bledsoe scenarios off your wish list, for this year at least.

on a per-minute basis, millsap fouls less than favors, kanter, carroll and exactly the same as foye. among rotation players (guys with at least 10 mpg in at least 20 games), he is 97th in the league in foul rate. and again, he puts his own man on the line about half as often as the team on...

haha, i literally laughed at loud at that reply. "monson said it so you must be wrong even though you backed it up with data and monson just let his theory go like a fart in the wind." if monson said that, he was wrong. he and al foul at an almost identical rate, and actually favors and kanter...

dude, title contenders. they're not in a place where they're going to get rid of their LEAD SCORER to save some money. they're looking for a way to get over the hump and compete for a ring. rudy is their trade bait to transform their team into someone who can beat OKC, the spurs and miami...

pennies on the dollar

i read a while ago that they were ready to pack it in on the AB era. they also now have this PG situa6tion and a lack of any kind of post options. they'll be a player in the next 45 days, for sure.

noyou can keep thinking they'll get rid of him for a 10-ppg fringe starter, a 2nd-year guy who hasn't figured the game out yet, a 3rd-string point guard and a guy we want desperately to get rid of.... but it's not happening. you don't get equal value when you trade a guy like gay, but you also...

3.7% of his defensive possessions result in free throws, al puts his guy on the line 8.5% of the time. some of that could have something to do with the fact that paul fouls out on the floor a little bit more because he's a more all-purpose defender than al... but the other thing i'll say is that...

so memphis is interested in shopping a guy who has, in stretches, been their best player and you think they'll take a bunch of spare parts are garbage? they'll get better offers than a package built around al/paul, to say nothing of a package built around marvin. they want a star or near-star...

i agree 100% with this, but i also don't think this is a unique problem for hayward or even for utah. every team in the L has wings that sometimes help on the glass and sometimes forget that's part of their job. now that gordo's playing almost exclusively at SG, that also tends to keep him...

yeah, but that's not what they want to get for gay. gay is an all-star caliber wing, they're not going to want to trade him for a guy that would be their sixth man. the market for gay will give them much better options than a guy who is redundant on their roster.

lock RT'd something about gay being supposedly available, too... but they have no need for al/paul, so it would have to be a 3-teamer.

i saw someone wondering aloud on twitter if this guy should be waiting by his phone given the jazz's shaky PG situation. probably not, since we don't have an open roster spot.... but, god forbid, if earl or jamaal got hurt, our backs are against the wall somewhat and we'd just about have to...

we can't until we waive / buy-out bell

yeah, but that's the cost of dealing with the suns right now. their #1 priority is dumping beas. in my scenario above, the idea would be to buy him out since we have no use for him. but yeah, there's a reason that scenario was my last choice. in the toronto scenario, our depth chart would...
