Not in terms of Lebron, but it could be in terms of Melo, Bosh etc.

Yeah that's what I thought. There could be 4 franchise players in the top 5 and that's as good a year as any.
McDonough is delusional to think that the Lakers would just help out the Suns asking for nothing in return.
Suns contacted the Lakers. Not the other way round.
Shrug.
Lol this isn't the dolan your dealing with
It's funny. Suns fans seem to think that other teams are delusional for not taking their shit offer, not that their own GM is the delusional one

a late first rounder and an expiring that helps you not pay the luxury tax in a tanking year is a shit offer? For a player who has been on and off injuries all season, would cost the suns over 6 million in salary? There's a reason why he hasn't been traded for the last 2 or 3 years. Because mitch is delusional
And it's not Marc they're trading for.
Because they are not hurting for money and are not in a hurry to trade him?
They only want to trade him if they can both save salary and get something back. Otherwise, they are quite happy to have him finish the season here.
Why the hell would the Lakers help the Suns win again? Delusional.
That doesn't change the fact that his current value doesn't bring anything back and no one is giving up a better pick than a late first rounder to get him. To deny that and ask for a better pick from every team in the league is insane
First of all that's not a fact.
Secondly, you go to a team with an offer, they don't agree with it and so talk broke off.
End of story. You don't have to call the other team delusional for not taking your offer. That's childish.
Mitch is also not "asking for a better pick from every team in the league". The Suns called him. So your GM wants to win this season so much? Go scam some other team with your shit contract.

Lets not act like the suns are the first team they have tried this with and didn't just do it to the cavs like two weeks ago
They didn't try it with the Suns. They didn't like what the Suns offered. Period.
A good GM is to be patient and wait for the right deal. Not take the first fucking offer. Especially when you don't have to trade a player.
We have been hearing Pau Gasol rumors for the last 2 years he has had his offers and now Pau has no value
And your point is? The Lakers still do not have to trade him.
Bogut and Lee got abused all night long.

He was traded for Chris Paul before... you know...
As for injuries, Pau has played 44 of 47 games this year, not really sure how that is off an on all season?
It was bad. We are so up and down (mostly down) since the winning streak.

Why do you have that turnover machine as your avatar?
Well he's out for the next two weeks and has mostly been bad to mediocre save for one month. Bargnani had a good month once, too.

Warriors are the biggest frauds.
Thats racist.
What's him being aussie got to do with shit?
I'll ship some spiders to you!!!

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Lee is understandable. Bogut is unacceptable.
Yeah. Ever since the trade really. Hasn't done anything for us yet.
On the plus I see Jermaine O'Neil is back. That is absolutely huge going forward.
Lol riiiiiight
He'll be fine. Big Al still has some leftover allstar snub rage. Nobody could stop him.

late first rounders aren't very attractive to teams that are trying to clear cap space. You are guaranteeing money on your cap to a guy that has borderline 2nd round type talent.

Late firsts get $1 million a year, that's really not a drag on anyone's cap.

Not to mention there have been a few late round gems like Parsons, Singler, Pekovic, Asik, Deandre Jordan, Dragic...
Lakers won't make the move because of "feels" though. Mitch doesn't have the stomach to surround Steve and Kobe with complete ass even if it betters the team. His only downfall is his inability to say no to his stars.

I guess we have the Warriors' number. Big Al really has been killing it lately. I'm glad Kemba is back in action now too. I'm really starting to believe in this team. If we can upgrade our shooting and bring in another big in free agency, which are both doable considering our picks and cap space, we'll be going places.

Apparently Jared Dudley is being shopped. My dream is still alive.

Naw, giving up on McRoberts and Zeller isn't ready yet so we need someone else to pair with Al when he's on the court. I'd love for Biz to be that guy, but our offense would be D league level with him at the 4. Biz should be here to stay, we won't be able to find another rim protecting big without having to shell out big money.
I hate what we're doing with MKG too. His leash is way too short and we do absolutely nothing to involve him in the offense. Part of it is a rookie coach learning the ins and outs of rotation management and the other is playing with Henderson. He also gets down on himself way too easily and when he does that he stops being aggressive. If he wants more touches he's going to have to out alpha Henderson and stop pulling himself out of the offense when he makes a bad play. Mostly we need to get rid of Hendo and pair MKG with someone who actually complements his game.

I have mixed feelings about that. I like him as a person, but he's been really disappointing on the court. We aren't getting Hayward and there aren't a lot of other decent SFs who might be available. Maybe we're looking at getting a backup big instead, leaving Barnes as the starting SF and Turkoglu as his backup.

I imagine the Evan Turner rumor is legitimate too. We wouldn't keep him however unless we're planning to move MKG as well, which I sincerely doubt. We gave Henderson his contract out of loyalty and it is moveable. If we trade for Turner, Henderson would be going back to the Sixers. Hinkie probably wants our Portland pick as compensation though, and I imagine that's the sticking point. A first round pick is a lot to give up to get out of a $6 million, 2 year contract.
