last years thread

Yeah, he's on the wrong team, but at some point you are talented enough to get on the floor. He is not a 3, but a small ball 4. His trade value has bottomed out and is nearing the end of his deal (I think), any suggestions on who should grab him?

Lakers seem to want to play small.
Rockets?
Mavs could use some fresh legs in the frontcourt, but are fighting for the playoffs.
Denver? Faried could be on the move,but they've got their top two wings coming back.
He could give the Clippers a different look of the bench.
Bulls?could he crack the rotation there?
Spurs are great at turning players careers around..

Also, where to send Thad Young? Not that they would ever do it, but Turner and Young for Deng or Boozer works, gives Chicago a second creator.

He's playing 17mpg

You said the same thing last year when he wasn't getting playing time. "Oh he's a bust!"

Then when he got a chance to play, he averaged 19/9 in the 21 games he played 30+ minutes and 14/6 the last three months of the season

You disappeared when that happened though

If Adelman can't make it work for you, then you've got some problems. Still too early to call him a bust, but he hasn't lived up to the hype.

Other than the teams you listed, I think GS and PHX would be good fits.

Barnes and Williams as your bench 3/4 is pretty enticing. And PHX is a homecoming of sorts and a good system for him.
