    Right. So my point was just that we shouldn't be eager to shed assets until we have George on the team and we have an opportunity to move those pieces for another solid guy.

    Hey PHX, remember last time you boned us in a deal. Yea not happening again, you can take Moz/Deng and give us your picks or we have a nice middle finger for you on draft night when Lonzo walks across the stage at #2.

    Gotcha. At this stage, I'd low-ball Indiana and call their bluff unless other teams starting getting involved and up the bidding price. At that point as @abeer3 pointed out in the PG Thread, the Lakers could change their mind and get involved; so maybe the smart move is holding onto our assets...we'll just have to see what transpires...

    I suspect some of this is talk of us trading for another lottery pick is sort of posturing as well. "See look! We're so uninterested in trading for Paul, we're going to give up those assets you might want just to move up in the draft. You better take these scraps before we send them to (Detroit) for the #12 pick!".

    The other thing is: I can't see a lottery team that would rather have Clarkson/#28 than #1-14. What exactly are we trading and for what?

    Ramona on ESPN 710 says the talk for trading for another lottery pick hasn't amounted to much. The Lakers aren't moving the #2 pick or Ingram, so other teams are asking for Randle, Russell, etc. The talks haven't gone very far, but she said it's Monday. She's saying they're looking at the 8-12 range and want a guy who can shoot the ball.

    That means we're talking...Z. Collins, Kennard, Markkanen, Monk, Mitchell, Smith, maybe Justin Jackson.

    If we could still net Jackson or ball with pho trade we should do, either get future assets or dump one of deng or Moz on them

    I'll give you the quick version:

    - We don't know who they're drafting at #2 still.
    - They want another pick.
    - Lots of circular arguments.

    I think they want another pick to package with #28 to Indy. Add one of Clarkson, but preferably Moz or Deng. Then that'll meet the price of 2 Firsts and a starter.

    Missed you. Love you mean it! ....

    :Blink:

    What did you buy?

    I bought my very first laptop ever a couple months ago to have UHD resolution to take to a client and show quality of much higher resolution still photography. I found this at Best Buy in town and put on 24mos no interest but I did pay $1499 at the time. It had only been out like a month and a half. So far so great. It's fast as hell, sexy, touchscreen and 1/2 the price of the lower resolution Macbook Pro. The screen and imaging are everything I was looking for. Good contrast as well.

    Well get in gear but don't hurt yourself. Exciting ******* times these next several days!

    It's an used souped up Dell gaming laptop, and should help with the graphics that bogged down the old one. Came with video editing software.

    :ShaqOh2:

    I've been kinda wanting to learn to mess with video more, but don't really have the time right now. Picked back up the full time schedule.
