Quin Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) To be fair, this is a game we are going to lose pretty much regardless so probably best to let Taj rest. True, but we might have to watch Scal guard Pau. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) The Clippers need to firesale everyone not Griffin or Gordon and just stockpile draft picks. Kaman could net you some nice pieces and Baron could probably get something. The scary part is the Clippers could get Harrison Barnes. Think of a core of Gordon-Barnes-Griffin. Yikes. Baron is the 3rd most unmovable contract right next to Luol Deng and Elton Brand in the NBA. You're not going to get any pieces for him. Kaman can net you something, but then you better hope DeAndre develops quickly which it doesn't look like he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Davis and Elton Brand are worthless, while Luol Deng is a 20 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg player who will play solid defense and shoot a pretty good field goal percentage. Your hate of all things Deng is ridiculous. And yes, Deng has a big contract, but please don't compare him to Brand/Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I will admit, Deng has injury problems that could blow up in his face. But he's playing the best basketball of his career right now and appears to be a pretty darn solid fit in Thib's motion offense. He has his flaws and limitations and isn't worth what he gets paid, but as long as he's on the court (and he appears to be showing that those 2 years might have been flukes), he's been a relatively productive ballplayer.

Your hate of all things Deng is ridiculous. And yes, Deng has a big contract, but please don't compare him to Brand/Davis. Oh really? Show me what year Luol ever averaged 20ppg? Show me when he ever had 3apg? His career stats: 15.9ppg, 6.5rpg, 2.2apg That's awful for the money he's making. There's a reason why the Sixers won't take him for Iguodala. Or the Nuggets absolutely refuse to take him in any Melo deal. His career PER is 16.3 which is slightly above average. His PER the last three seasons 14.7, 16.1, 14.2(that's this year). Showing his trends are downward. His career TS% is .527. He's only had two seasons when he's gone above that and one was in 06-07 when he has a TS% of .560 which is carrying upwards. I don't think I have to explain his eFG%. So please, tell me how Luol is any great? Tell me how or when he has ever lived up to his contract. Is he a useful player? Yes he is. His defense is pretty solid and he's a decent rebounder. That's the extent of it though. For a guy making: $11,345,000 $12,325,000 $13,365,000 $14,275,000 N/A N/A $51,310,000 over the next four years, that's an awful contract and that's why the Bulls would be hard pressed to get rid of it.

Offer him up and the Knicks take him in a heartbeat. Richard Hamilton was moveable, but Dumars hasn't moved him. I think Utah wanted him in the offseason IIRC. Pistons don't want to move Gordon and he's certainly not immovable at all. He has a friendly contract. Jefferson is moveable as well. Heck, I thought he was more of a pain to move on his previous contract and two teams traded for him two years in a row. Gilbert I'll give.
