Josh Jackson is such replacement-level-at-best garbage. Ugh. So grumpy that we came away with him in that draft. Wish we had gotten the #3 pick and taken Tatum, or at least just taken Fox at #4. Remember at draft time, word was that Sarver really liked Fox, while McD and the rest of the scouts want...

Oubre has almost no trade value because of his contract status. That’s why we were able to get him for Ariza, who also has almost no trade value. I don't think that's true. He'll be restricted, and there will be enough free agents that are better than him that it won't take a crazy deal to retain h...

He’s not the pg we need. I’d stay away I don't know. I don't think I would give up more than Josh and the Milwaukee pick but he's much much better than anything we currently have (and I like Melton!) Check out this thread from BW at RealGM for some highlights that are pretty tantalizing. https://fo...

Another fun fact: Josh Jackson is shooting 40% on catch and shoot 3’s

He just needs to quit pretending he is a point guard and he will be OK.

Spoiler Alert: Kelly Oubre Jr. isn't very good and most teams around the league know it.

Maybe he can be flipped if he somehow shows something he didn't in Washington, but I'm not holding my breath.

At least Oubre is not going to stand around on D.

Rivers is waived already and we don’t seem to have room for Oubre. Washington really wanted Ariza. Shouldn’t we have been able to get something in the deal? We couldn’t get the Wiz to throw in a second-round pick and some cash for the arena? We have 96 minutes at the forward positions, and I assume...

Here's a link to the box score: http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401071116 I missed this game, but it looks like everyone other than Josh Jackson had a pretty good game. I don't like having Booker come back early, but he had a nice game (28 points on 10-16 shooting, 7 boards, 7 assists). A l...

Yep. If Okobo comes around like I think he will I love the Booker-Melton-Okobo guard rotation. Then our SF rotation will be Bridges-Warren-Oubre/Jackson. Our C rotation is Ayton-Holmes (who I think will re-sign). We really need a decent PF. You can slide one of the SFs over for some minutes but I'd...

Rivers is a two guard. Really.

lot of solid points here about how these guys are suppose to fit but this is just as big a deal
these guys really don't seem To Fit

Evans can give back.

If Rivers starts over Melton, I will end up feeling more negative about the trade. Yeah, I don't see any value in playing Rivers over Melton. Melton is actually starting to show progress. If the Suns had gotten a pure point guard, like Milos Teodosic, I could see the benefit in playing him over Mel...

I don't see how it's a bad trade. We didn't get any worse. Ariza was already a one year rental. We got a younger guy with more potential to replace him. Plus, we got a guy to test out at PG for the year. I'd say we're maybe slightly better after the trade. We'll see. We got a guy who started 59 gam...

https://twitter.com/Gambo987/status/1073992213237919744 I think Oubre is better than Josh Jackson I do too. He is longer (7-4 wingspan), plays with more control, and is nearly as athletic. I think he might have more upside. I would consider dealing JJ while people are still enamored that he was the...

Oubre can be traded in a 1 for 1 deal anytime. Don’t think he can be a part of a multi player trade before the deadline.

The trade does not get called in until Monday, so theoretically they could work the phones over the weekend and flip Oubre for something and make it a three way trade.

Anyone want to guess who the eight teams are?

Canaan is waived! Drum roll on incoming trade? Or was this to avoid guaranteed $ and make way for Point Book and Okobo off the bench? Very curious what happens next. There's no reason to wave Canaan unless you want to bring in 2 players. We have an open roster spot from buying our Chandler, and we ...

"I'd like to marry a supermodel. I'd like the supermodel to come to me."

Yeah. The supermodel would come to Book.

I'd give him a C+. He's figured out that Chandler and Anderson weren't long-term solutions. He also is coming around to realizing who his best five are, and playing them regardless of position. Remember that he went without his best player in preseason, and a majority of the players are new to the ...

I haven't been into the game day thread yet... how did everyone like Point Book? Without reading what you all said, I am split. + I like having the best player on the team have the ball in his hands / - Man that sure gets tiring on him, and you need to limit his minutes if you are going to play him...
