    Kuz is our last young talent. You give that up for a piece that puts us in the driver’s seat for a championship. Tucker is not that piece. We probably wait and see what the buyout market provides first.

    Why in the world would we consider trading for Bledsoe, anyone, when all indications are Collison will come in for minimum money and no assets going out other than creating a space for him with some other transaction? If we have to give up important assets of what we have left it better be for the stud wing defender we need. Hopefully that has at least some level of offensive game. I would think.

    This is a s***ty year for the buyout market. There's a handful of teams in the East who have no chance of competing. But the West is still anyone's game for the bottom seeds. That's going to prevent a lot of guys from hitting the market that should, but even a team like Memphis now has no reason to unload Crowder and at some point they will or should consider playing Iggy.

    Hopefully the dust will settle within the next 5 weeks and teams will let go of some of their guys.

    We're their major competition for the chip this year, so the Bucks won't be trying to assist us in any way. You can be sure of that.

    another ball handler, defender, driver

    guarded Paul George in practice

    Played for Vogel. Or is that way they aren't calling him?

    Makes me wonder what we DON'T know, and why he isn't in the league. He's still a very capable player.

    I actually was surprised Lance wasn’t retained once we got Vogel. I have no clue what Rob’s plans are, but it’s obvious we need a guy to defend wings. It’s a glaring weakness.

    I wonder Series the same. I thought he would have been serviceable, especially in a better team like we have now. I hope they didn’t let his humor antics turn them off.

    Yeah he has "grit" and some Dudley craziness in him. Strong enough to bang at least some with the big wings. And can strum the guit .... errrr ..... create his own shot a bit.

    There is a problem with Lance - he just isn't very good at basketball.

    Zion looked really good and really big against the Spurs. He’s going to be fun to watch.

    That's a lot of playoff teams interested in wings and a lot of the same ones we've been linked to, as well. Houston has also been in the mix for a wing. Really makes me uneasy about our odds of being able to nab one in the buyout market.

    If we go the Collison route, I don't think the Clippers can afford to interfere to f*** with us. They have more pressing needs of a big and they're in the market for a wing too... just don't think they'll be able to clear the spot to even roster him, much less play him. Maybe they clear some of that if they go after Drummond, Adams, or Baynes but that's the only way.

    Wow, interesting. Yeah he's been busting his a** for them no doubt and delivering greatly for the most part. And boom just like that now he's Robin when he wants to be Batman. Or at least not an afterthought going forward. Needs to reconcile his situation has changed quick and he will. I think. What else can he do.
