Here is an example of an excellent trade...... Memphis traded for Courtney Lee 11 games ago--in those 11 games hes averaged 14 points as their SG at 55% theyve been 9-2 since. He has helped create space for their two bigs and their defense also picked up. How badly couldve we used Courtney Lee to replace Shumpert?
I've always been a fan of Courtney Lee. I've also been a fan of Brandon Rush, who is a very similar player. I haven't seen much of him since the ACL injury but wouldn't mind taking a chance on him during the offseason.
You guys like Hardaway Jr huh, would you trade him and Shump for Aaron Affalo ?

I'd have to consider it. It would bring us one step closer to becoming the 2009-2010 Denver Nuggets. Maybe we could add George Karl and get things back on track for a few years.

Russell Westbrook is fool's gold. I think he's the kind of guy that would get his numbers on this team and we'd still be awful. People will always shit on Stephon Marbury but I still think he was a better player than Westbrook ever was.

Good comparison and both are head cases, though I'm not sure who I think is better outta the 2. I'd prefer a PG like Irving or Rubio. Or even a PG like Reggie Jackson.
I know people here think Rubio is unbelievably overrated, but he does 2 things that would be welcomed - plays good D and passes. Felton does neither well and sucks at shooting just like Rubio. Sorry to get off topic, I just can't imagine what Kyrie is gonna do to him tonight. He didn't even guard the ailing Rondo...

I'm with you on Rubio. I understand that he can't shoot but never could Rondo. I'd take Rubio in a second if we could get guys around him that can shoot to help make up for his deficiencies.
One guys that no one seems to talk about though is Mike Conley who is pretty good. If the wheels fall off for Memphis, he and Marc Gasol should be the two guys we target in 2015.
