Noel signed in OKC to be a backup and Washington off in the East has no starting C. They can't even get Noel to sign with them. I guess they will go after Monroe or Bebe now?
I don't see Washington being at that point yet. They can dump Porter for a garbage return at a later date. No real benefit for them to do that now.
well..Grunfeld is a very shortsighted GM. The situation has to go to the precipise of disaster for him to do a stupid move. However he has immense job security smh so he won't get desperate selling off for nothing like others have done. He's probably available for other servisable good-ish cheaper players. They are not much interested in picks.
Man OKC is going to be a scary team to face, a lot of people will laugh at this but Adams, Noel, Grant, George, Roberson...their defensive potential is terrific.
I know it's not equal value and I'm just trying to talk myself into it...BUT... here's the benefit: They get a starting center in Dedmon and they free up a ton of money below the luxury tax. They could offer a player the full MLE at that point.
But he's a back up center at best. Sted's scenario makes more sense if WASH absolutely lost their minds and decided to trade Porter away a year before they had to.
doesn't make any sense. Has Noel fired his agent after screwing himself off the rich contract? Out of all the options obviously OKC has the least to offer.
I wrote a long reply about why I don't see this happening but have deleted it and will just say that I hope it does!
I don't agree necessarily. I think Dedmon has a lot of potential as a starter. I'd actually love to have him here behind Clint or as a starter if we lose Clint. Especially with him developing a 3 point shot.
The Kings have done nothing. Not even some interest in Bradley..I think it all points out to them going after a RFA. Smart, Lavine or Parker. Indiana as well because they still have lots of money.
I don't care who they have. As long as Westbrook has the ball in his hand in the last 5 minutes of the game, I don't worry about it.
