Wolves say no. Bynum is somewhat intriguing, but really, I don't think I want would want him. He's going to be an Unrestricted FA, and his injury history is outrageously scary.

Would love me some Evan Turner though. Too bad we didn't trade Williams last year + filler + picks for Iggy and Turner. Too bad we didn't trade Love last year for Iblocka and Harden. That still pisses me off.

Wolves obviously say no. Bynum's injury history makes it way too risky. Also Bynum is going to receive a huge contract during the offseason, and if he ends up injured a lot, it could be one of those franchise-destroying moves. I would want no part in having to decide how much money he's worth.

What about this one?

Would be a nice lineup for us:

Rubio
AK47/ Evans as 6th man!
Smith
Horford
Pek

I'd have to pass. AK47 @ SG? That would be a disaster. Also this lineup wouldn't make a single 3-pointer for the rest of the season. The Hawks would never do that trade anyways, so I guess it's a moot point.

That is absurdly awesome for us. Unfortunately, those other teams would NEVER do that deal.

I'm not so sure `bout this.

The crucial part is Philly, though. But with a productive Williams, they would have a nice piece in a spot, were they lack (PF) and Shved showed potential and is, as a rotation 2 for them quite valuable (because he don't need the ball in his hands to be productive). Furthermore they're kind of afraid of having to pay for Evans in 2 years, so they get 2 nice players with nice contracts for the next 3 years + we could give them an 2nd round pick or so...

For Atlanta it's kind of clear, that they could very well be the next Orlando/Clevland. There's no chance, JSmoth will resign there... And if he doesn't, it make not much sense, signing Teague to a big contract (so they could use a productive scoring guard like JJ) and for without JSmoth no big star will sign in this lousiest of all arenas (especially not DH12), they would be clearly in rebuilding mode. So why not slip it all up, by immediatly trade for a top10 guy (and hoping that makes it easier to suceed via FA)? We could give them a 2nd rounder too...

But the most important part with this is, that DH12 is a big buddy of JSmooth, so who knows...

Josh Smith and Dwight Howard are both hometown guys from Atlanta. That's why Howard would be willing to play there.

Yeah, that's true. Pretty sure he has talked about it before in the past.

Yeah, you guys are right: He's gonna go to Atlanta! I just researched the cap situation for the Hawks next year & they have only three players set under contract (Louis Williams for 5,2 Mio, Horford for 12 Mio and Jenkins for 1,25 Mio), so they have plenty of cap room to sign both DH12 & JSmoth. Furthermore they have a team option for DeStevenson (for 2,2 Mio) and the right to make a qualifiing offer to Teague (as well for Ivan). They probably let go some of the quartett Devin Harris, Zaza, Korver, Morrow, but maybe resign 1 or 2 of them. They would be quite Strong though, maybe right up there for the 2spot in the East...:

Teague
Williams
Smith
Horford
Howard

DeStevenson, Morrow or Korver, Johnson

We should definitely trade Derrick. He doesn't fit in with this franchise.

If he would start missing games due to injury or illness, I would reconsider.

The Wolves should trade for Royce White before he stops spazzing out and everyone realizes he's good. His trade value must be rockbottom right now.

+2nd round pick or something from Magic to Rockets.

Here's my trade. It makes us a much better team imo, especially if Royce actually shows up to play. Being back in MN would probably help quite a bit.

Hell yes! That is an awesome trade for us. I love it a lot.

That trade is excellent.

Derrick Williams is one of those players that looks worse in real life because then you can see what he does off the ball. stands there. His game is so uneventful 90% of the time.

I'm not so sure, if we should give away Chase. He was one of our best players in the first run und surely our most consistent 3pt-shooter (and he fits perfectly into Adelmans system...)
