I'd love to get Watson but I bet that Denver will find other ways to move money to fit him in.

Pass.

He will be 35 ... (Kyrie...)

 

Just a thought if people are throwing expensive names out there...

Jamal Murray?

He would be great.  But Denver would want a ton for him.  Probably Ausar and multiple firsts.

No to both.  Kyrie will be 35 when the playoffs start and George will be 36.  I'm not giving up assets to obtain guys that old.

Something to consider with a sign and trade with Duren.  The other team has to have guys we want.  Brooklyn, Chicago, and LA do not really have anything we would want.

Brooklyn has MPJ, but he might not be available now.  They owe Houston a pick swap this year so they have zero incentive to tank.  They would probably like to keep MPJ and try to win a bit.

The players LA has that we would want are not available.  

That is just the teams with cap space.  Sign and trades can happen with teams that do not have cap space as well.

Too old, too injured and too divaish. That Kyrie package in particular would be highly regrettable in about a year. If the Pistons are trading assets of significance I'd prefer an under 30 year old.

I know it won't happen but the Pelicans make the most sense mainly because of Weaver's undying love of Duren. I bet you could pry Murphy from him for Duren and not much else. It would be irresponsible for Langdon to not at least make an inquiry.

i've been beating this drum for the last six months.
