Trade Rumor(s)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
So the Mavs are offering Yogi Ferrell a 2-year deal...

How awesome would it be if we let Ferrell abuse us in that game so that Dallas would be more willing to part with D Will? Haha
 
Even if we sign Lance and he plays well, I still don't want to give up Shumpert unless we're getting another decent sized guard. Our guard rotation is thin in terms of competency without JR in the mix. Currently we're asking RJ to play the 2-4 and our two real guards are Shump and Korver. As good of a run as Liggins had, we cannot expect him to produce every game. And he makes too many mental errors when he is expected to play well. Also his shot is garbage. With Stephenson, the 2-3 is fairly well covered because we can have sg: Korver/Shump/Stephenson and sf: LeBron/Stephenson/Shump which allows LBJ to play less minutes and Korver to stick to the shooting guard spot. JR is not going to be right this season. He hasn't even been cleared for cardio for his thumb injury. So we need that 4 man rotation.

The other problem we didn't get ahead of is the 4-5 spot. We're expecting JJ to put up minutes if Love is out... That's just insane. He's gone from victory cigar to key contributor because we don't have enough bigs.

As it stands, if we give up a wing player and a center to get back a point guard and a center, we're just creating a different problem because we will still have no depth for bigs and we'll just require an additional SG/SF. And at the same time, we'll have to integrate 4 new players into the system while losing two guys who were key contributors in Shump and Frye. I say 4 because I consider Korver's integration still in progress.

I'm not sure how much sense the trades make. Especially with Shump's current value so high trading for a couple of guys who will likely retire or get injured sooner rather than later.
 
I feel like that's a weird movefor Milwaukee

Really? I think they're fortunate to get out from underneath that horribad contract. I mean 4 years, $50M for that Plumlee stiff. Yikes. I would have suspected a first round pick needed to be attached...
 
D-Will used to be the best PG in the game. Maybe being a backup PG is exactly where he could thrive since he's definitely not a starting PG material anymore.
 
Salary dump for the Bucks.

That Plumlee contract is terrible when you consider he barely plays.

Miles Plumlee sucks and his contract is huge in relation to his performance on the court and is signed long term.
Hibbert is a UFA next year and Spencer has a team option next year and RFA in 2018. This trade is a steal for MIL as it lets them sign a big FA next season or in the near future when they finaly cement themselves as a top team in the east.
 
I really hope Butler gets traded to the Wolves or the Jazz for 2 reasons

1. Instantly makes another formidable foe for Golden State out West
2. Wade will likely do everything he can to get out of Chicago and we can have another safari!
