    Yeah I'm pretty sure morey will try to trade knight. We need wing players to throw at Durant, or someone to not be afraid to shoot the three at a decent percentage

    By the Feb deadline, I'm sure, unless he makes a unexpected great comeback.

    I think Morey waits. Knight’s value has never been lower in his career; this is a classic buy low move that has the potential to turn into a Shaun Livingston to the warriors situation, or better yet, a Celtics trading for Isaiah Thomas situation. Brandon Knight does not have to be just a smaller version of the Flyin Expirin Ryan contract.

    Yea I completely disagree. Chriss is definitely an asset. A young 21 year old lottery pick is not a bust. Not even Close. Knight is at min a trade piece. At best starting caliber PG on a playoff team. Framing this as a salary dump is so conservative that it is wrong.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we flip them at the deadline (or even before the season starts). I could see a three way trade with Chriss going to a rebuilding team for a second rounder and than that and another second rounder or asset (maybe Vince Edwards) going with Knight to Atlanta for Bazemore. Honestly I think it depends on two things:
    1) Brandon Knight's ACL. Is he healthy enough to play into the rotation or (perhaps more pertinent given our depth at guard) healthy enough to up his value and flip in Feburary?

    2) Is Chriss merely a throw-in by PHX or is he a guy Morey has been targeting? In the past Morey has swung on washed out lotto picks but that was when we didn't have a star. If you recall, Lowry, Asik were relative unknowns but were guys Morey had his eye on.

    While we play dominoes, Morey is playing mine sweeper.

    You can't turn back the hands of time unfortunately.

    Give the Rox a 25-28 year old CP and a 27-29 yr old Melo.

    Things look differently.

    Sorry about that, but it is getting old, wondering what dominoes will fall when your stars are getting older and older.

    And waiting for the next day to buy another round against the Almighty Worriers who are collecting trophies every year.

    A Deja Vu moment all over again. Happens when you are almost good enough but still not the best.

    I know the GM is desperately trying to make something happen.

    But this swinging for the fences starts to get frustrating.

    I dun know, I watch tons of soccer and people can be genuinely glad about a second place or third place, even a 8th place if you are a smaller team.

    And there is a trophy for best season achievement.

    It is not as frustrating. Refereeing is relevant but not as crucial.

    So glad you clarified that.

    I went from "Do not want."

    To

    "My body is ready!"
