I like Sabonis and wish we had him but I would not have given up Brown for him or Tatum, Kemba etc.....maybe Smart ? Even though I should root against Indy I hate the Lakers so much I was happy they won. Yup, and Sabonis was instrumental with 26 pts and 10 rebs but no blocks. He is not an Embiid or Giannis despite being a PF who plays Center at 6'11". Keep in mind they were playing at home and the Lakers did not have Davis and I think LA would have won had he been healthy and played. We lost to Indy by a few pts a week or so ago and we blew a 10 pt lead. Sabonis only scored 15 pts but his 14 rebs hurt. I wish we'd play Poirier and Tacko a few games to see if they can give us 10+ rebs and some defense. We have enough good scorers not needing more than 10pts from center, I think.

Sabonis is an offensive, not defensive C. He would have struggled defensively against AD. Agreed. |

if you think about it then, that pic has more value to memphis than anyone else, because only they have the power to tank it

My two cents - waive Semi, sign Jamal Crawford. Bring up Tacko while Poirier is hurt. Valancunius has three years left, at "reasonable" cost, so he is the one I say to go after. But.....not for whatever it takes, a reasonable trade.
That SHOULD put us in the top 2 or 3 in the East (I consider IND better than us right now).
Gel for the playoffs, then who knows what can happen?

Its very discouraging for a fan base. |

I was really excited about getting him in OKC, many years ago. Wasn't really keen on the trade for Ray Allen at the time, though that fell into place obviously. And Green never really performed.
He killed us in game 7 vs cavs 18 months ago though.

He stepped up the whole second half of that series |

He killed us in game 7 vs cavs 18 months ago though. I remember that i was in the minority because I was always in the Durant > Oden camp. It was a lonely camp. Everyone thought I was crazy. I remember thinking - Ideal scenario - we get pick 1, Sonics get pick 2. We trade Wally + Oden for Durant + Allen. They would have taken it. We would have had: Pierce, Ray Allen, Durant, Al Jefferson. |

We prob could have even squeezed another first out of Sea because everyone was like Oden >>>> Durant and they were trying really hard to move Allen.
