Bismack is basically a zero on offense. That's a deep hole in your starting unit.

You realize that the number one lineup in the league !!! Has biz in the line up,,, right ?
Lowry/cojo/Ross/PPat /biz ..

So that theory is garbage !!!

Mostly because he's an arogant prick. I could see teams going after him though. Last season he was a beast in the playoffs.

Means little once the playoffs start and you give an opposing coaching staff 2 straight weeks to scheme against you. You better bet this weakness would be exploited.

Barolt, where's that stat ?

Than you play Horford at 5 and bring 2pat at the 4.

Howard's got a huge contract and a player option. Will be difficult to trade.

Well, fuck if u say so .. Lol lol .. You know, we'll have weeks of prep too !! And we'd have Horford on our team as well .. Urr argument Mayes zero sense !

The ( we lost in the playoffs last year, so nothing we do will ever work , is getting really old ! )

The Bench+Lowry group is very, very good. But it's not offense where they get most of their work done, being honest.

Also, I hate the idea of trading JV.

[Snooch]

How so ? 4-5 what are u talking about !

Biz.

is.

not

a

starter.


If we trade for Horford you add him TO JV in the frontcourt. Horford has complained many times about being a pf and being forced to play center and dont think for one second that his on court positioning wont play into his decision of where to sign. He is what 30 now? Had some big injuries, PF will be alot less wear and tear on him.

Add him and Keep JV and you instantly are the favorites to resign him, even without being able to offer the extra year.

that lineup doesnt have demar either, so we should trade him for Horford

You need more exclamation points in your replies.

The argument is, limit the obvious holes in your lineup before heading into April. Bismack starting is a big hole.

So the true source is actually this tweet:

I gather #Raptors also have high interest in #Pelicans forward Ryan Anderson as we roll into Feb. 18 trade deadline. https://t.co/nWuk09hIS9

from a guy who covers the Pistons - who he (and others) says will have interest in signing Ryan Anderson this off-season. So I'm guessing that this "high interest" is something he "gathered" from someone connected to the Pistons who "gathered" it from New Orleans who would surely never inflate, or invent, the level of interest of another NBA team right?

Why wouldn't MU have interest in Anderson?

Than you play Horford at 5 and bring 2pat at the 4.

And have a worse front court than Atlanta by a long shot, and run the very high risk of losing Horford in the offseason because he hates playing center......brilliant....why dont we just Cut JV now.
