Yep. Should be coming any time now. Then the Asik swap. Then look for a SF and maybe a bargain or two. I still love the idea of Brandon Rush for 1 yr.

Any long shots out there worth considering, or that kinda false hope thing ain't your kick?

I mean, can we swap some around the edge pieces for a SF? I don't know. Maybe throw in another future 1st. Just go all in.

But honestly, I don't think the FO sees the SF problem in the same light as some fans do. There is so much talent on this team and, despite the fact that he will start, we are looking at a 7th or 8th man if we are being real. Most seem to see a hole at 'starting small forward', I see a slightly less than ideal 7th or 8th man.

I was out for a while tonight, thought I missed the move lol

Is there a deadline for signings and trades ?

I wouldn't mind signing Francisco Garcia to be the stop gap starting sf. Extremely tough, can hit the 3, plays defense, is better than Aminu.

I would like Rush, Garcia, Jordan Hamilton (my ideal person), or Richard Jefferson at the SF. We just need a guy who can shoot the 3 on a consistent basis. He doesn't need to be an all star but just get the job done. I would love to get a big time SF when Gordon is gone.

Can't Don't see it. Did you watch the summer league game?

What about the overseas guy that was rumored Dell was interested in. Joe Ingalls I think was his name. Anyway we could bring him over for SF? He wanted to start which we could give him. Could we pay him what he wants to come over?

I JUST mentioned him in my other post. Forgot about him. . .again. Lol.

He turned down Memphis last year to come over, I'm not sure if that was because it was non guaranteed or if they didn't have PT or what.

I do know his contract has an opt out clause for the NBA. Couldn't find what his current contract was. Before signing it he was on a 2yr/6M total deal. I suppose he could be in the RLE range. Maybe even a guaranteed min as long as we promise him PT and give him 2 years.

Why? It will be a trade that features a non-guaranteed contract for cash. If you stay up for that, you need some help! ha

I would love Garcia and/it B.Rush... Both are solid defenders who can hit the three and that is exactly what we need out of that starting sma forward position.

I'm probably the only one complaining about it, but the issue comes from because of MM's sketchy past with his ''sources''. Not only did the details not leak today or yesterday like he said they were, I don't even think Ely can be traded until the 14th.

And for the record, I still enjoy MM's posts. He just has a past of making stuff up.

Why leak the details a day before a trade can be made? What's to say the moving parts don't change between now and tomorrow night when the trade is legal?
