Gosh I wish we could have gotten Kevin Love. Hell even Cody Zeller would have helped.

This season is just been so depressing knowing our frontcourt issues are just not being addressed. We need length and rebounding.

Pretty much in the dark on how things work (trade-wise)...but if I was pulling the strings and there was ANY way possible...I woulda forced my way right into the middle of that Nets/Suns deal...and SOMEHOW, come out with my new favorite player on the rise...Mikal Bridges (with Claxton thrown in).

Everybody but Zion would be available to make the deal work. (Although I would really hate to lose Dyson or even (of course), Herb and I guess Trey would be my next preferred keeper)

If we were competing for rings maybe. We aren’t there yet

if Pels hadn’t had the injury issues and remained in the top 4 I believe Mrs. B would’ve been inclined to make a major move at the deadline. For now Pels under the cap playing with house money. Lets see what the Pels are about as they return to full health.

Teams getting buyout guys tend to be either destination teams (NYC, LA, Miami areas) or strong contenders getting ring chasers.

We are never going to be the former. We aren’t the latter yet and, even if we were, we didn’t have a roster space to spare on one of those guys.

If Zion was healthy, then maybe we'd have gone all-in at the deadline and in this buyout market

We're 8th in rebounding.


We needed shooting. Biggest concern going forward by far

I could be wrong but I thought history shows buyout players rarely contribute to rings
