Say we are content with ryeke at the 3 and tried to trade for a center, who do yall think we could realistically get at center for a combination of Aminu and Jason Smith or Aminu and Rivers?

Would the rockets do Asik for aminu and smith for the stretch 4 they want?

Hawes would be my main target. Dont think he is in Philly long term, and I think he is Smith if Smith extended his range to 3.
If Boston would give up a pick for Rivers, I offer Philly that pick, Aminu, and Stiemsma. Dont know what the want for him, but he is the guy I go after. -

I really like what Gordon gives us but how about a package of Gordon
And Jason smith for pekovic and Shabazz Muhammad? That would immediately fill 2 gaping holes. Idc what you say about Shabazz but he can put the ball in the bucket and with the drive and kick penetration that we've already established it would conpliment him even more. Pekovic gives us the ideal BIG that we've been wanting. Just an idea. -
12-16-2013, 08:37 PMMichaelMcNamaraGood idea for us, but why would Minny do it, especially after they just gave Kevin Martin a 4 year deal?Quote:

It's been a while since Ayon. Where's Dell and that international scouting? There's gotta be a 6'11"+ big from Arstozka or something.
-
12-16-2013, 08:44 PMMMEmbrenoTrue. But they still don't have the ideal man off the bench who is capable of scoring on his own. We have 2 in tyreke and ryno. I think Shabazz could potentially be that guy for them but it seems they have given up. Giving them Gordon would allow them to bring Martin off the bench with his big salary similarly to what we're doing with our 2 guys off the bench. But yeah, it still seems a little lopsided for us, maybe throw aminu and or a pick but then at that point I'm wondering if that's even good for us.Quote:

Do you guys view Jason Thompson from the Kings as a center or no?
-
12-16-2013, 08:50 PMIamQuailman
I don't like Hawes that much. We may as well play Ryan Anderson at the 5. He shoots the 3, and gives us no big body in the paint (yeah he's 7'1" but I wouldn't call him a physical big 7'1")... I dunno just my opinion. I want a big bodied rebounder to put next to AD, not someone who hangs around the perimeter
-
12-16-2013, 08:56 PMHornetGuruhe's averaging 17 points 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, the difference between him and ryno is that hawes can in fact rebound, and has post movesQuote:

Also sullinger has been on a tear at center for the celtics, he handled pekovic tonight pretty convincingly, wonder if we could work out a deal

Not a fan of Hawes. Too soft. I want some toughness on this team.

I think Hawes would be a decent pickup but my God, I hate Hawes. I jus thave this inexplicable burning hate for that dude. His personality rubs me the wrong way. His game is like a nasty, scrappier, better shooting Smiht

12-17-2013, 07:32 AMBallSoHardi can't stand true 7' era that stand on the 3 point line; but maybe that's just me.Quote:

Hawes can give us what Aminu can't. Rebounding AND a respectable jumpshot.

I think we need an athletic defensive center. Scoring has not been an issue. But we don't defend. I don't have any good solutions, but we need a Tyson Chandler, Noah type of center in a bad way.

Yea Hawes would be nice, but I agree with others that a Defensive minded rebounding Center like Asik would be a much better fit for this team. If we're giving up assets, may as well be for a player that really fits the current make-up of the team.
P.S. "SharlieCheen" (poster above)...that sig is freakin hilarious, lol. That's the exact reaction I'd expect from him, too, hahaah. -

His salary wouldn't be crazy high either as I imagine you could have him for a little more than a song right now.
