But yeah we should tots trade martin and let the youngins volume score

 

[liamiefor3]

how good is that burke for gorgui and shabazz trade looking now?
also is anyone else hoping we really really suck next year aswell and luck out on the ben simmons stakes? being a twolves fan would be fun again, and the coverage would increase two fold in australia

 

[Upgrayedd]

I think Lavine is going to be a great player

 

[liamiefor3]

agreed, he turned it on big time the other week in la

I'm glad wiggins got his shot to fall again, was a great game to watch yesterday for a change

 

[Pie Legend]

Won the game on the defensive last night, something we can't say too often in the last few seasons.

Good to see some emotion from Wiggins as well.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Shabazz needs to develop a mid range game.

But ive been impressed.

All I want for Christmas is somebody that can hit a jump shot.

Kobe Bryant seems to be a HUGE fan of Wiggins, not the first time he has gone out of his way to praise the kid.

So Turiaf is now going under the knife again

 

[Upgrayedd]

Word is we have traded Brewer for Troy Daniels and two picks

Turiaf included too. Troy Daniels, 2015 Sacramento second rounder, future second rounder and cash.

Is the cash before or after we sell the two second round picks?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I'll miss Corey. Pretty good deal all things considered, though, I think. Opens up a spot for Adrien, grants more playing time for Shabazz, sheds Brewer's and Turiaf's contracts and gives us what sounds like a young, competent three point shooter (although admittedly I know little about Daniels apart from what I've read in the past half hour). Both second rounders are likely to be underwhelming but that's not what it's about.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Troy Daniels is alright, Cant really defend, Immediatly fills a position on our team of being able to hit a F**king jump shot

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Shabazz already showing that this was a good move.

Brewer was only traded because he was willing to waive or restructure his player option for next season. Houston asked Budinger to do the same and he refused.

I don't mind the deal, love Corey Brewer but he is massively overpaid and gets too many minutes. His best basketball was as a bench player in Dallas and Denver. Daniels has a skill set we need at minimum salary. Moving Turiaf on is good news too - opens a roster spot to keep Adrien beyond the injury exception if desired or sign another big man for the season.

As soon as Turiaf was injured again we were beyond screwed. Young has been flat this season, We had Dieng and our backup C's were Bennett then Hummel.

Budinger had an alright game today, But i think we'll have to package him with someone to get him out, His player Option is the killer

 

[Upgrayedd]

For such a limited player bazz has been fantastic.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Good article on Daniels for those who (like me) are unfamiliar with him. Sounds like somebody that could push for very solid minutes with us and no doubt adds a need. Written in terms of his role at Houston but still has a lot of useful stats and analysis: http://www.ridiculousupside.com/201...iels-bring-to-the-houston-rockets-next-season

Impressive.

Troy Daniels active today and Jeff Adrien signed on a non-guaranteed (until January 10) contract to fill the 15th roster spot.

This is tough to watch.
