Sleeper Targets

Jarnell Stokes. Can Rebound and play low post. Would come cheap.

I like him. Great rebounder, plays solid D.

He has only appeared in 8 games and averages 4 minutes per, not sure I am sold his NBA ability yet.

we could use Koufos as well.

If Boston gave up on KO i'd pass out. He's too good, high IQ. I'd support grabbing him if it were possible.

And as an added bonus, he's Canadian! :-)

Alexis Ajinça, Hasheem Thabeet... May seem crazy but I guess they got a higher ceiling than Stiemsma. Alexis could do just like JJ on his second stint with the team...

I have a suspicious feeling Masai is looking to grab Biyombo. He fits a need for us and he's got that connection with MU from basketball without borders

I am not so sure it is about Boston giving up on him, but rather filling out a roster that fits together and is affordable. If Rondo stays he is getting a raise, Sullinger will get a big payday in a year (they seem to like him more than Kelly) and if they trade Green and Wallace they will have to take back salary. If they keep Green he will get a pay raise as well.

He's 23. His defense is not above average. But Korver is good. Real good. But he's more likely to get traded than somebody like Al Horford and people throw that name around. Maybe we'll have to throw a pick in there.

What are you saying, he's fantastic when helping, and adequate when defending reasonable opponents. I think that's above average, don't you?

Guys: the Celtics love Olynyk. He's not ready to be a starter yet, but he's a big and bigs take more time to develop, and the Celtics know this. They're not trading him.

Atlanta isn't trading anybody. They're one and a half behind us and they're hungry and firing on all cylinders. They're certainly not trading the single best perimeter shooter in the NBA.

Stop this RealGM bullshit of proposing trades where we send out expiring contracts and get back starter-level players or players on rookie deals who are still developing. As a general rule, that does not happen during the NBA season. No GM will send out value for total crap. Even the Knicks thought they were getting a star player playing beneath his prime when they traded for Bargnani. Nobody thinks Chuck Hayes and Landry Fields are a deal. Nobody.

If you want to improve the team, you're looking around the fringes of the NBA for a cheap player who's not getting minutes and is better than that (for example, as I propose earlier, Ed Davis) or maybe facilitating a trade between two other teams for a star player we don't want but who is expensive and hard for a other team to absorb (Deron Williams, for example). And that second scenario only works if you can find a team who wants an expensive star player and has trouble making the money work.

Wiggins + TWolves 2016 1st for Hayes or Fields but not both.

You REALLY like this guy. I'm normally wary of tweeners, but he intrigues me too. Haven't seen a lot of him, but his numbers look great. How's his defense?

Injury Prone. Never had a healthy season, thats my main worry about him. He's a good player overall.

That's a steal for the Timber wolves. Also the Raps need Hayes and Fields to get KD.

Are you trying to tank by getting rid of Hayes/Fields for a prospect and pick?

Gotta spend money to get money

He gets lost on screens way too often. Bites on pump fakes. I understand you're not saying he's Jimmy Butler or Kawhi or Danny Green but he's not above average to me right now on defensive end. More like average but showing flashes.
