All I can say is I wish Markieff had used his mother as his drug mule. That's the only thing that would have made his incident yesterday any better.

I would, of course. But I would trade him for a handful of magic beans at this point. That's why I am not a GM. Well, that and dozens of other reasons.Danimal wrote:Does anyone think there is a chance we might use Knight to try and trade for K. Faried from Denver if draft day doesn't result in many options at PF?
Salaries are reasonably similar. Faried isn't a complete player but it would at least give us some roster balance which we haven't had in two years. I just feel with McD on the clock somewhat this might be the kind of move he might make. I heard faried had been out of sorts last year in Denver. Couldn't play chandler and faried that much together and certainly couldn't play chandler, tucker, Faried almost at all but they would gobble up a lot of rebounds. Len's jumper would make them a better pairing. Could then hand over the offense to tj, booker and bled.

I thought Markieff was the mule for his mom...Superbone wrote:#FOE!The Bobster wrote:All I can say is I wish Markieff had used his mother as his drug mule. That's the only thing that would have made his incident yesterday any better.

To me he probably holds more value around the league than he actually contributes to wins. However still more of a positive than knight on this roster. Plus Denver are stacked with young bigs and there seems to be a number of articles about them being at a cross roads about what to do with him. If we could some how acquire gary harris at the same time and thrown in Goodwin plus other filler (tucker,goodwin)/later picks then potentially we achieve a bit more balance. Kinda wished we drafted gary harris in the first place.
I would want Mudiay over Knight every day that ends in Y. Sure, he's really young, but his upside is so much higher and with the need for bigger more athletic pgs to compete with Westbrook, he might be the best hope for the future. We'll see how he develops though.carey wrote:
As far as Faried, I don't know why Denver would want Knight with Mudiay clearly their PG of the future. He shot pretty awfully (36%/32%/67%) last year but he's still really young.
We can forget about acquiring Harris. And if I am Denver I don't want to take Knight (I have Harris after all, and basketball is gunners galore). I'd rather have picks. That #13 and #28/2ndR for instance.Danimal wrote:I'm not saying he's a great solution as it still results in a lack of low post play, but I can see it as McD saying he got a name player.

If you are a guard-centric team, you ca use an active PF. And you can go crazy and try him at C in a ultra-small lineup.
Absolutely.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:I'd trade #4 for Jah no question. Len would have no bearing on my decision.
At least we know he would get lots of love.I think this would be a good situation for him as a rookie: the opportunity to play, not a lot of pressure to win now, and Earl Watson.
For an 18 year old in America for the first time, that's probably a big deal.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:At least we know he would get lots of love.I think this would be a good situation for him as a rookie: the opportunity to play, not a lot of pressure to win now, and Earl Watson.
Yep, feel like part of a family away from home.Cap wrote:For an 18 year old in America for the first time, that's probably a big deal.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:At least we know he would get lots of love.I think this would be a good situation for him as a rookie: the opportunity to play, not a lot of pressure to win now, and Earl Watson.
So, you're telling me in three years that they think the Suns will be in the same position as they are now?In2ition wrote:Just saw that they have the Suns at 27th in the Future power rankings. http://espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/ ... had-ford#6
