    If we get George, I think there is a STRONG possibility we make a move for Griffin.

    Move the pick for what? Be more specific, T.

    Say it's #1. We can trade the pick and here is your roster:

    Russell, BI, Randle, JC, etc.

    You don't know if PG is coming or if you can trade for him, not until July (?)...

    Are you going Wiggins/Love? For whom?

    God, no.

    No Melo, Love, Griffin or Cousins. I am 3/4 so far. I hope it's gonna be 4/4.

    That was harder than it looks. Source file had a lot of movement. Tried something new, but might be the end of that experiment lol

    Not if you want to make something creepy. Kind of reminds of that dude with the lipstick in front of the mirror in Silence of the Lambs. With the chick in the pit waiting for her doom in the next room.

    I've laid out my plans a few times :)

    JR, hou, JC for Pg
    The first can be traded as a player or as a pick. Personally I like ending up with Ilyasova, Noel, and and a backup G. But Griffin works. More later. On phone.

    You and a few others have said this and it makes all the sense in the world to me. Very fair considering Indy will most likely lose him in a year for nothing. Doubt other teams would give up more than that for a 1 year rental.

    Now what to do with that top 3 pick ???

    If the 1st trade goes down, I'd package the Top 3 with Russell for Jimmy Butler.

    This I can live with! Since PG and Butler are decent ball handlers and honestly I kinda like Ennis!

    This coming from the guy that wants BALL !!

    Paul better make sure his body fat is at 8% or else a trade will never be consummated.

    Butler
    Ingram
    George
    Nance
    Zublocka

    Bench: Nwamba, Black, Mozgov, Ennis

    Defense will no longer be an issue with that lineup. We'd have a 4-5 year window to contend, and when that window closes, Ingram and Zubac will be entering their prime opening another 6-7 year window.

    They're interchangeable. All three wings can bring the ball up and defend opposing guards. I don't see an issue. More of an issue for our opponents imo.

    I'll go out on a limb and say that our starting lineup next year is:

    Young Guard
    Ingram
    George
    Griffin
    Mozgov

    To be fair, Butler has been their "PG" when Rondo is out.

    I really hope Zubac puts in the work to move Mozgov to the bench

    And Griffin...

    I just still can't get behind that move. Say no to ginger floppers

    Blech. Hope not. Griffin here. Russell, Randle, Zu gone. Turrible. F*** Griffin. F*** doing all of this too soon. I hope your limb is too skinny and drops you into something not pleasant.

    Griffin hurt again for the playoffs.

    I'm officially off the Griffin boat. I was only open to it thinking it could help get another player, but no more. I'm not interested in him in the slightest if he can't stay on the floor. I think Randle is more valuable going forward.
