Two vets that I think we can get at the trade deadline if their teams dump

Rudy Gay Demarcus Cousins. They wont require 1's but rather cap space 2nd rder prospect

Andreas Bargnani was the top pick in his draft class.

Who knows. Bargnani is like Pennywise the clown. I could of sworn I saw old Native American images of an epic battle with a Seven foot nightmare who appears during a cultures downfall. There might also be a pictures of a clown-like seven foot monster posing with Walt "Clyde" Frazier in a Cleveland uniform and encouraging John Starks to keep shooting in the finals.

I think Rudy Gay is 34 and he splaying well but he cant command more than a prospect or a two--same thing with Cousins. It would give us up ticks at 3-5. Id like to try to make the playoffs for once--we wont be bad enough to get a top 5 pick so why not try in a short season? But Im not giving up anything of tier 1 value as in 1st rd pick etc.. cap sapce 2nd rd pick or prospect like Frank who still has value. Id throw in Knox if it was a player that was a tad younger.

Yet another knee jerk over reaction after a loss. Thought we came back nicely yesterday. Even the Blazzer's ball boys were hitting 30 footers in the first half. Despite that we made a good come back. Including a very offensively charged 36 point 4th Q. Btw, we shot 41% as a team from three. So how much more of an "uptick on offense" do you really need. Keep in mind, Bullock and Rivers will come around with their shooting. We just got back Burks and he had a great game last night. MR and Noel ar no Christian Woods but they bring a lot of other variables to the line up. I like the team chemistry we are building. Finally have a team identity after many years of none. Randle is having an All Start year. Quicks is getting better every game. RJ seems to have put it back together prior to last night. Think Knox has shown signs and is a solid second unit player.
Toppin is in his 4th NBA game. Think it would be wise to see how the moves made this past season pan out. At least that is what a PRO NBA FO does. Unless you think they should act like armchair GM's or 15 year old kids managing their NBA2K lineup.

Btw, did not know Cousins is available? How does he fit with Randle? Why would a 34 year old Gay be much of a difference maker in making the playoffs?

Can see some Briggs type fan in Utah starting a "We should have signed Austin Rivers" thread tomorrow.

For 25 games, Rivers will look like the biggest bargain in the league. He will look like G League next 25 games and will look he's paid just right the remaining 29 games.

The Knicks made a great trade for that guy. Remember it?

Of course I remember. I'm reminded every time I see Jacob Poetl run the floor for the Spurs
