Deng for sure. He just fits better and he has really turned it on as of late.

Seems like Jeff Green would be the easier move to pull off though.

I'd prefer any move that lets them keep Koufos.

If yall get Deng your defense is going to be 03-08 Pistons like.

Didn't realize until now that they are almost the same age. I assumed Deng was 4 years older.

Deng is a better, more polished/mature player... but I've always thought Green has huge untapped potential, but he never quite puts it together.

I'd be afraid Deng has a little too much African in him.

To be fair, he's too far behind to really catch up with one move. I think some teams are going to trade away their future trying to win now, and only one team can win the West. Dell is smart not to do anything rash.

Yeah I know, it was a half joke. Not saying we need to make a desperate move to try to make the playoffs, but I would love to make a move to try to get some more depth or an actual SF.

Dell can't do much because he spent all of his assets on guys that nobody else really wants that much. I don't know, maybe someone will make a move for Ryan Anderson, but his play this year is definitely driving his value down.

Whatever they do, they need to keep Koufus


I'm also partial to Beno but idk enough to say they should keep him

First thing I thought of when I saw the tweet

I just listened to an interview of Stein on the radio:

Apparently the Grizz need to hope that Miami continues to lose on this upcoming West coast road trip if we want Deng, but it would probably require giving up Koufos.

Apparently the Grizz can get Jeff Green though with only Tayshaun and a 1st.

6th in the NBA right now in protecting the rim, he is a good finishing rolling to basket, and he started 82 games in Denver before the Grizzlies traded for him.

Cleveland wanted him badly, but the Grizzlies seem really reluctant to move him unless they could bring in someone to fill in those 15 minutes or so at the back up C position.

Hearing that the Jeff Green-to-Memphis trade talks are heating up. Discussions between the Celts and Grizz, I'm told, getting more serious

Still hurdles to clear, I'm told, for Boston to consummate Jeff Green deal. But Grizz, at present, are most serious suitor for Celts forward
