Would you S&T E'Twaun Moore ($8.45mil 3 yrs) for Tony Allen? Allen remains unsigned.

Advantages: big confidence boost, captain of the defense, tough old pro
Disadvantages: can't shoot to really make that problem acute, and emphasis on old pro. 35 now, and maybe not quite same defender.

No way, we need shooting and Moore is decent at that. With Rondo on the team one thing we dont need is a guy who is probably the worst shooter in the league at his position

I cannot stop wondering about a trade:
Asik. Moore and Pels 2018 lotto protected
For
Wes Matthews and Dallas 2018 2nd

Pels are taking care of Asik. And taking 2 years of 35 millions (Wes will opt in. If not this is win win for Pels) of Matthews.

Dallas are taking nice backup SG. Pick to sweeten Asik deal. They may stay with Omer for a year and stretch him next season.

Pels might use this second rounder to dump Ajinca.
Dallas are not in love with Wes.

And Pels dont have a cap hit for stretching Asik. It might be useful for future. Even 3,5 millions...

Probably this wont happen but it seems at least considerable for both teams...

Why would we need to sign and trade? Is Allen getting more than minimum offers?

One would assume.

What about SG Moore, SF Hill, C Asik, and a 2018 top 3 protected 1st round pick for SF Carmelo Anthony and SF Lance Thomas?

just to stir the pot - Solo just tweeted 'it's a business'

That's a really strange tweet to just post randomly about something else. Unless he's just trolling.

[Hugeaux II]

knowing Solo, really could be trolling

Works in the trade machine but I would think additional picks would need to be included since the first would basically be for them to take Asik.

What I'd do to have Melo on this team...

[Silverfoxx]

Dude was talking football

[Mythrol]

I could definitely see him trolling. He did it earlier in the off season with Paul George. Still, let's see what happens.,

[AusPel]

Dude was talking football

Elaborate?

[Silverfoxx]

Elaborate?

Don't know how to post tweets but he basically said the tweet he sent out about business, was about football, and that Twitter exploded for nothing

[P_B_&_G]

Why haven't we traded for Melo yet?

Why is Dell sitting on his hands?

"I was talking football, y'all going crazy... even tho, I wouldn't be surprised.."

Now, the bigger question I must ask: What exactly did Hill mean by "even tho, I wouldn't be surprised.."

Like he wouldn't be surprised that we'll trade for Melo? Or...

[PortPelican]

Probably just trolling, but hopefully something happens

[PolishFan]

So it's not the first time I read about people wanting Melo. I am definitely not one of them. There were also ideas about Kyrie since Cleveland is becoming a mess. I was just thinking and if Cleveland is really becoming a mess why shouldnt me make a move at Lebron I mean if he really wanted to beat GSW wouldnt his best chance actually be on New Orleans team with Davis and Cousins? I am not good with trades but I imagine someone would just have to convince Lebron

[MistaWhoDat]

I think it's very possible we could land Melo

Then he should hurry up and take one of them...the money's not going to be greater.

Here...I made it more exciting for everyone...especially Melo.

Honestly, that is a really good starting 5.

Rondo
Jrue
Melo
Davis
Cousins

I just don't see us having enough to interest the Knicks. Stranger things have happened though.

Also, Melo was willing to go to Houston. Is Harden/CP3 better than AD/Boogie? I think Melo fits better with the Pels since he would be the only dominant wing/perimeter player.
