@King Diesel, here's a proposal that I'm not opposed to that doesn't solve shyt financially but it shifts the need towards a different position, improves shooting AND lets Wiggins play SG.

Martin to NY for Calderon

Martin for Kris Middleton / OJ Mayo.


OJ is an unrestricted FA at the end of next season, profit.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Lakers take a flyer on Stauskas. Maybe their early second rounder for him. :ehh:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that LA can move Jordan Hill before the deadline for anything. Portland could use him.

Milwaukee shouldn't mess with that right now (and while we get a lot back, it's overkill for our wings-- I'd do it though)

With Melo shut down now, my aforementioned Martin /Calderon swap should look a little more appealing to NY

Milwaukee is probably going to lose Middleton though, I could see someone offering him more than they want to match, he's clearly a starting level player but with Giannis and Jabari there he'll never get a real chance.

Knicks say no. They are going to move Calderon for an expiring and a 2nd rounder if it comes down to it, they wouldn't take on Kevin martin's salary

It's the same amount of years, same salary (maybe $400k more for Martin, but he has a player option whereas Calderon is guaranteed 2 more years)

Wiggins can play both 2 or 3, but he needs to bulk up if he wants to play the 3 as his main position. He's young so he'll have time to figure out what position he likes to play.

OKC needs to make some moves if they want to get out of the west. Looking for more bench help and three point shooting should help OKC.

Uncertain grounds
I wouldn't be against it either, I'm just not sure how the celtics match up to get him without giving up a first... Bass would be a good fit there, but they aren't making the playoffs and he'd be out of there after this season so it doesn't make sense for them

I like Stauskas in terms of potential..he might be a decent fit..but I dont think its worth it. Maybe Im scarred by the Jiri Welsch experiment..but I could see Danny biting. Maybe he'll throw them the Clippers first.

It's the same amount of years, same salary (maybe $400k more for Martin, but he has a player option whereas Calderon is guaranteed 2 more years)

Thatd be a good look for Minny. Im sure Calderon being around would raise Rubio's morale and would be pretty good in terms of play style continuity as far as facilitating an offense is concerned. Knicks might be interested just so they can get some more scoring and put up points. I think Calderon was gotten by them in case they scraped their way into a 7/8 seed and to perhaps tutor Larkin a bit. I think both teams accept that trade to be honest with you.

Well his main position should be the 2..he shouldnt gain more than 10/15 lean Lbs in the next few years tops. In reality, the positional designation is becoming outdated. A wing is a wing then you have point guards and bigs. Everything else is rotational and can be worked around with a good roster and game planning. I actually really liked the Spreewell comparison by Webber the other night...Wiggins has more upside but the frame is somewhat similar from what I remember and Spree did fine at both positions without much weight gain. Spree was more tough than Wiggins is now but the league is softer as well.

The problem with OKC is what assets they have to work with. Theyre not going to give up Adams..and they shouldnt. I dont think any team is really valuing Jackson or Lamb. The best thing they have is Perk's expiring. If the Thunder want Gerald Wallace's corpse for him the Celts would take it very gladly.

Are you on crack? I thought your bball knowledge was better than this

Knicks are going to trade him for an expiring and a 2nd rounder, worst case scenario

They want his contract off the books

Nah, their frames aren't all that similar, Spree was listed at 6'5" but he was shorter than Allan Houston who was also listed at 6'5" -

Meanwhile Zach LaVine was 6'6" in shoes and looks like this next to Wiggins -

I agree with you that Andrew shouldn't gain anything more than 10-15lbs as he gets older, he doesn't look like he has the frame to pack on a lot of mass either which is why being at the 2 should be priority. If I had to say who he plays like, it's kind of hard cause he can score from the post which is an odd thing for a 19 year old wing to do. His game seems like a mashup really, like he took pieces of Kobe's game (turn around) & Tmacs, his handle isn't nearly as strong as theirs, but how he scores is more like them.

Playing him at the 2 would be a matchup problem if they can get a legitimate 3 to play next to him, someone that has 3 size so that putting a 2 guard on them would be a bad move. I know @tremonthustler1 doesn't like him, but someone like Stanley Johnson next to Wiggins would be a good look if they fall out of the Hezonja / Towns range in the draft since he's so physical.
