2016 Rumor Mill: Trades and Players to Watch

Can we get some sources on that?

 

Yeah, they're definitely shopping him quietly. They initiated talks with Boston, but apparently the asking price was too rich for Ainge's blood.

Hearing offers is one thing, but when you're making the phone calls...doubt he's a rocket next year.

 

I buy it. They're delusional enough to believe that bridge hasn't been napalmed, laced with c4, and then nuked. Would've loved to hear Mitch's reaction.

 

Lol. We shot it down probably because A) we're simply not interested or B) we could get Dwight in the summer without giving up any assets

Unless they wanna give us Dwight for Hibbert and Huertas....there's no reason for us to entertain any offer for Dwight.

Additionally, I wouldn't be opposed to getting Monroe and MCW....maybe Hibbert, Lou and Bass for Monroe, Mayo and MCW? Maybe we throw in Anthony Brown? Or some 2nd round pick?

I would jettison MCW off for a nice wing player maybe...maybe a 3 way deal makes sense here...maybe with the Knicks? They give us Derrick Williams and a future first for MCW?

Also, the Bucks are such a crappy franchise. Ugh.

 

EL OH EL at Dwight's people. Grass isn't always greener on the side huh a******?

You had your chance to be a Laker and you s*** down your leg worse than Mike Brown in a 20 point game.

 

I'd offer Dwight the vet minimum to go shine Shaq and Kobe's statues when they're up in Star Plaza.

 

Lol. That is pretty hilarious. I would welcome Dwight back at vet's minimum....lulz

 

I don't see it. Think a convo takes place because it's home, but don't see it gaining traction cause of the team first philosophy and no fun zone. Only reason to break away from that is for a go to option in the 4th, that's not Dwight.

I think Washington is a good fit next to Wall and Beal. Big market, but low expectations. Nene, Humphries, Oubre, their lotto pick and maybe a future pick too.

 

Man, what I would give to have JVG on this team next year. I think he can make us great defensively even with Hibbert at center.

 

well, a lot of it is probably just posturing/preparation, I just thought it was funny that la was listed as one of the teams Dwight's folks looked at. I'm glad the lakers showed no interest. enjoy your fun in Houston, clown. had you stayed in la, your image is better, you'd have the same amount of rings, and you wouldn't be looking at getting lowballed in FA this summer. eat a fat one, fer realz.

Washington would be an interesting landing spot for howard. if they can get max room (not sure if it's possible, would have to look), it would make sense to offer it, if only to give the franchise a shot in the arm in terms of publicity.

the Monroe rumor is interesting to me simply because of the odd storyline about him this summer. I still refuse to believe he declined the same offer from la to join Milwaukee (LOL if so, btw; Milwaukee isn't a good basketball team). it would be funny if they had to take on salary to move him.

 

Or how not to be delusional idiots.

 

I think we can do better/younger for less.

We have a bunch of youngins. He's not the right vet to lead the way anywhere unfortunately.

 

With as well as Drummond is playing, I don't get that. With Monroe gone, the paint is all his. You'd think they wouldn't try to bring in another big time big man to clog it back up for him. If I'm SVG, I get a great role playing PF who doesn't need touches and fill out the other positions with my $.
