    Sit Lebron at NY and Clips .

    AD likely to be back after the ASG , 2-5 or 3-4 record incoming

    It would be rather ironic, if AD was out until after the trade deadline.

    yeah, i'm sure we can make up an excuse for 40yo lebron to miss a couple games. that said, he won't sit at ny. he loves playing there.

    but at least sit him vs. the clips.

    Let's welcome him back with his new frontcourt mate who held down the fort while he was out.

    Can't afford to be without him until the break, West is too tight of a race. Rob needs to push those chips in the middle and end today's business day with an overpay for either Turner or Kessler. Play the teams off one another, but let them know it needs to happen right now.

    i'm going to guess he misses more than a few weeks. and if they rush him back, it'll be even worse

    this injury might've just thrown the season into the s***ter

    Davis will be re-evaluated in about one week after an MRI confirmed an abdominal strain Wednesday, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

    Honestly, I don't think there is an overpay for Turner. The guy is a beast and a perfect complement to AD. Get it done. Kessler I don't know, I don't think we give Danny Ainge everything he wants - that's crazy.

    i think turner's maybe gotten a bit overrated here. he averages 7 rebounds per game, and the last three years his defense has steadily declined. this isn't "beast" material, imo.

    at any rate, if AD's out for any longer than 10 days--if there's even a fear of that right now--we might have just loosened up some of our restrictions.

    rob's probably celebrating AD's injury because it means he won't have to acquire another big man

    You guys tend to be so negative sometimes. Typically, this is a 10-day injury. AD is ten days away.... from being ten days away.

    There's no reason for Indiana or Utah to not wait until the deadline, IMO. We can say that we'll go to both picks unprotected but it has to be today, but they'll just call that bluff. And it would probably be a bluff.

    you're the second person to say this, but i disagree: AD being out means we have to look harder at it, imo.

    iirc, one reason we made the gasol move (which was a no-brainer anyway) was that bynum had gotten injured and the season seemed in danger of slipping away.

    yeah, agree here. i understood jsm's point, but i don't know that we have an offer to make that would speed up their timeline. some of the bigger deals have to happen before we do anything, anyway, as it's possible that some weird situation might pop up as a result of one of these multi-team trades. like when boston ended up nabbing holiday.

    Is he really overrated though? 15 and 7, 6 foot 11 250 pound bruiser with career averages of 50% shooting, 36% from three and 2.2 blocks a game. He's a known quantity, a good player who could fit right next to AD and give you scary rim protection or even take his place in injury situation such as we have. He's target number one for me if Indiana is actually contemplating moving him which is a huge If.

    well you said you can't overpay--this implies this guy is a star. but he's not. if his team--that has playoff aspirations and no backup center--is considering moving him because they don't want to pay him, this might be a clue that he's not who some think he is around here.

    now, if he's told them he's leaving in FA, this changes things a bit.

    anyway, i actually agree that i'd pay quite a bit for him. i just don't think he's a star-level player, and that's who gets the "trade whatever" treatment from me.

    what i'd like is for turner's agent to tell teams he'll re-sign in la but won't guarantee it elsewhere, then we try to broker a three-team deal with chicago or portland that lands vuc or robert williams in indy (along with a top-5 protected first and a top-10 protected swap from us), and rui and seconds (one from indy and one from us) to portland or chicago.
