Neither Asik nor Hawes thrill me. Asik just doesn't move well enough for my liking. Yeah, he'll give good challenges to DeMarcus Cousins and Howard and he'd keep DeAndre Jordan off the glass some, but that's three opponents.
Hawes? I just don't know as much about Hawes...
Wow. You are doing us such a great service by releasing Dell's private plans to the public. I'm sure Dell greatly appreciates it. NOT. I hope your source gets found out and fired.

Only thing separating him from Adam Schefter or any other sports insider is it being his job to have sources. Should all their sources be fire too?Originally Posted by studentofthegam

The reason I have this source is because I know information I can share and information I can't. Also don't think it's possible for my source to be fired haha.
Maybe you should stick to trying to get people to want Beasley. I'll make sure to tell Dell of your ideas bro. I'm sure he'll get a good laugh.
Well when I said adequate I meant at the center position and honestly it was a poor choice of words on my part. He is very young. And I know we have a lot of scorers but i believe you need a diversity of scorers. With no low post threat u can just smother our 3pt shooters and put ur best defender on tyreke, if we had a low post threat I think we could be the best offensive team in the league with having 5 possible 20 point scorers at anytime in jrue, Gordon, tyreke, Monroe and Davis. That is rare and would be almost impossible to defend, a team would have to have 3 great perimeter defenders and an athletic pf for Davis and a banger for Monroe, teams just don't have that
I can see Monroe being a 17-10 guy for us but I'm also not an expert.

Well I certainly can say I appreciate you sharing the information. I take everything with a grain of salt but I'm far less cynical about believing a person. I prefer to give the benefit of doubt especially when the information isn't so far out there that it seems impossible.
If someone were to make up a story I would assume Asik and Hawes would not be the first two players to come up. Lol.
Ya I'm sure dells plan is ruined because every gm in the league is reading this and taking it for 100% certainty
Adam Schefter reports stuff that has already happened like signed contracts and stuff. Has no impact
GMs look for every possible way to get an advantage. If he develops any sort of track record for being right then I'm sure GMs Will take notice.
I hate to tell y'all this and beat a dead horse, but don't be surprised when fell trades ryno, Gordon and a future first to acquire a good center and sf, I just feel it in my veins. This team would have been a playoff team if injury free, then add Monroe and parsons and we are a 3 seed next year
If that's the case Eric Gordon is the best player in the nba, he is faking this injury thing, gms take notice
Asik just looks like a big lethargic oaf standing under the rim. Not interested. Hawes doesn't interest me much either. Of course, this is coming from the limited time I've seen them play the last two seasons. If we moved Ryno to land one of these guys, and didn't land a starting caliber SF, I would be very down on the FO. Guy's that provide what Ryan Anderson provides aren't plentiful in the league, especially not at his salary. I'd say trade value wise, he is the second most valuable player we have on his current contract. I really hope we don't trade him just for the sake of having a "true center".

Leaving aside that he talks about more than just contracts...you know the "stuff" you're leaving out does include trade rumors and disgruntled players.
I also said other sports insiders. Wanna tell me that Melo being a target of the Heat is a low impact rumor?
While I don't think asik is the end All be all center he is a hell of a player, he might not be the best at pick and roll defense but his rebounding and rim defense is second to none. He is a good player.
But he isn't what we need, and Ryno is more valuable than him with Smith and Ajinca and Withey on our roster. Who can do what Asik does for about 10% of the cost and we still have Ryno.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

If we came out of that trade with Monroe and Parsons for Gordon and Ryno, I'd be ecstatic. I'd hate to get rid of Ryno since he is one of my favorite Pelicans but that would give us a nice starting 5.
You'd probably need to check your token item because someone was incepting you.
Guru, I'm pushing Ryno/Gordon/Pierre for Boozer/Dunleavy/16...
Gives us a starting SF, backup PF, and enough cap ($4m more than we have now) to go after other players this year. It also gives us a rookie to develop at SF or C and add to our depth. Someone like Kyle Anderson or Nurkic. Then we're looking at $20m in expiring contracts (Boozer and Dunleavy) headed into 2015 free agency.
Chicago gets their SG and a friend of the family for Rose. And they get a perfect compliment to Noah in the frontcourt. They also get Nate 2.0 off the bench. Health is going to continue to be the question for them, but a healthy Noah, Ryno, Butler, Gordon, and Rose starting 5 is competing for #1 Seed in the East.
Ryno and Gordon< Asik and Parsons
Ryno>>>>>>>Asik
Huh? Are we talking about the same Adam Shefter?
Seriously, Boozer is finished, Dunleavy is garbage and 16? What the heck would we get at 16, and throw in the fact we have Dell Demps doing the drafting(Austin Rivers at 10, what a joke). You give Chicago two proven NBA players and we get and old man, a bum and a pick.
I love Withey's game I actually hope he starts, and we can concentrate on finding a SF... or a couple SFs. I've said many times that I feel Smith, Withey and Frenchy are a trio of "capable" centers.
But it seems we're trying to hard to find a center to add to the mix, when we only have Darius Miller as the only SF on the entire roster.
not bad, our current 7 million plus 4 would give us 11 mil for hayward or parsons and we could use the MLE for blatche.
So, we would basically give up Ryno just to clear Gordon's contract? Sorry, but I think he has more value than that to the team. We would be taking on Boozer's contract for only one year less than Gordon (assuming Gordon did not opt out).
