Not good on defense. So let's add another dominant ball chucker on a team who is already near the top of the league on offense but terrible at defense

Would rather Danny Green. Much better wing defender and will cost close to half of what Jeff Green will get.

Greens THAT bad at chucking? He's shooting a solid 45.5% but I see his 3 point shooting is mediocre. Is it due to being a near number 1 scoring option?

He's scoring 23.4 PPG on 48% FG in december.

If he's that bad then what's the infatuation with him?

I'd prefer wilson chandler because he's cheaper/better 3 point shooter and probably a better defender.

Ah, thought so, just curious since he had been responding to Boom. I agree.

Im not saying he's a bad player. He's just another offensive centric player in the same mold as Tyreke. Man to man he's probably a better fit than Evans as he can play SF and knock down the 3, but the offense still runs through him when he's on the floor. Is that what we really want out of a guy we go out and acquire? Im not sure he can just jump into a role player mode which is essentially what we need, IMO.

What we need to hope for is enough shake up around the league that something like Rivers and Ajinca for Gerald Green seems like a good deal. Phoenix is supposedly looking to move either Dragic or Isaiah Thomas, so their roster could change enough that maybe something like that could happen.

Corey Brewer is being shopped

A wing that has size and can do multiple things.

I don't think he's that great of a defender, but I'd rather him than Babbit.

Khris Middleton and Darrell Arthur are two intriguing players to me as well, though they're not reportedly on the trading block.

Trusted source on Rockets forum saying that signs are pointing to Brewer to HOU.

Would love to have him but jabari being out might screw things on that front.

Eh, he has a lot of versatility to his game, especially defensively.

No, he can't. And he's really not all that good on defense. But the Pelicans aren't acquiring Luol Deng, so I'm open to anyone who is better than Luke Babbit.

Some one who can't shoot the 3 and isn't that good on defense sounds like a down grade from babbit.

What I mean is, Brewer's defense is overrated.

Babbit can't keep you in front him.

I wouldn't be shocked if they moved Bledsoe for some frontcourt help. He's a very good player locked in at a reasonable contract through his prime. Dragic doesn't have much value since he's a UFA this summer and Thomas isn't bringing back anything they want.

G. Green is also a UFA this summer, so maybe he can be had at a cheap price. I have doubts about his fit with this roster and this coach. He gets 12 FGA/G in 23 minutes (6 are from 3).

Waiting for the 23rd so I can use him on the Trade Machine, but Bledsoe to Milwaukee seems like a good match (too bad for Jabari, because THAT Bucks team would be a blast) for both teams. Maybe the Pels can help facilitate something.

Would be overjoyed if Phoenix decided to move Tucker. He's a perfect fit for what they need right now.

Middleton is very efficient on the offensive side of the ball...he's 23 and has good size...currently shooting almost 40% from 3 and 43% from the field...and will get some extra time to display his offensive skill set with Jabari out

Would seem like a great move for the Pels BUT Khris Middleton has major defensive deficiencies (like real bad) and I think we need a wing that can defend...let someone else overpay for him I think we stay out of this one
