Hypothetically - all four teams agree on some sort of trade package consisting of PJ/Bouknight + Hayward + 1st Rnd pick(s), which would you prefer: PHO - Ayton @ $35m for 5yrs (sign & trade) UTH - Gobert @ $35m for 4yrs NYK - Randle @ $22m for 4yrs NO - Zion @ $10m for 2 yrs ????????????????????????? I ask because I believe this offseason is the year we solidify the core of the squad by resigning Miles and getting the big man Melo needs. They must be able to run the floor, rebound, catch lobs and defend/protect the rim.

if we beat MIA - we will win out.. CHI is hurting defensively and dropping like a rock.. the other two teams (ORL & WAS) are in the tank.. LFG!!!!

Matt Rhule is a goddamn slob *fixed

Why didn't he stick with the Lakers - who are floundering right now? Why has he clicked so well here?

Toronto and Atlanta are no slouch teams.. not a given we make the actual playoffs..

We have 10 games left in the regular season and 6/10 are against Top 6 seed playoff teams with a lil mini road trip sprinkled in. We are playing some good ball right now and I have that we can weather the storm down the stretch and in worst case: play .500 basketball.. NYK - below .500 team trying to save face - don't sleep on em UTH - Gobert will not let us get anything easy at the rim - shots gotta be falling @BRK - playing outta their minds right now - hang in til 4th & hope someone on our side gets hot DEN - hopefully Murray is still knocking off the rust and we can compete @NYK - 1st game of a tough mini road trip - cant get caught looking forward to the next 2 games @PHI - they might be trying to drop in the seeds at this point to miss playing BRK - could get a W @MIA - our nemisis.. hope Caleb has been playing spy the entire time & puts Exlax in their pregame meal ORL - gotta get this W @CHI - kind of floundering recently but still one of the best in a crowded East WAS - gotta close out with a win

A = star caliber B = potential standout C = depth, fills hole Overall Grade = B+ - we definitely targeted some positions and filled them with A/B players and then added depth Still not done in FA.. but obviously the 1 position that matters most is still up in the air.. gotta nail that one or all these other moves won't matter much.. if we trade for Baker/Jimmy = there is a lot of expectations and little hope in future if we draft Willis/Pickett = there is less expectations but more tons of hope This coaching staff begins the season on the hottest of hotseats - i think they will draft a QB to give themselves some breathing room

I'm up here in the DMV.. he is one of the names that I def would want from their squad..

he'd be wise to go there while we flounder for another 2-3 years..

mighty bold of him to assume other teams will want to trade for him.. UPDATE:

so did his 10 day contract expire?

Honestly curious to hear what ya'll on here think..

yeah - we are destined for the Play-In Tournament.. we could move into the 7vs8 game by hoping over Brooklyn and/or Toronto.. but with Durant back - I don't think either is truly 'catchable'.. we will probably be in the 9vs10 game but Atlanta is neck and neck with us -- so a home court game is on the line.. I could see us playing a home game & beating ATL then going on to topple Toronto if we are on our A+ game.. truly but there is a scenario where we drop below ATL and the Wiz leap over us too.. It's less likely but with the way we have been playing - it's not a lock we make the Play-In.. Hayward is gone until next year in my book..

Na man.. gtfoh with this.. all the fuggin way out I can't stand the inconsistencies.. gtfo

gimmie Willis.. but i'm just a dummy on the interwebs

not to mention he was the 6th man of the year 2 seasons ago..
