Which would you prefer to keep?

[Monster]

Lip Shabazz has been floated as a possible addition to the Sixer trade. My guess is its either pure speculation since he is a young asset or the Sixers would actually like him. Are you still firm in the belief he is staying with the Wolves? I'd be willing to give up 1 asset to get Young but that's it. It seems like Flip would offer the Miami pick for Thad and work with them on what expirings they are willing to take and that's the most his will give up. Maybe he sweetens the deal with a future 2nd rounder but I really think Flip is gonna hold firm on this deal and walk away if they ask too much. From what you say Bazz may be too much.

Also Wolfson apeared on the T-Spence radio show and Doogie said a wolves official he talked to spoke so positively about Bennett that he really does think the Wolves are going to keep him. I wonder if that FA PF board that was seen is the backup plan if they can't get Thad. Elton Brand would be a solid 1 year consolation prize.

I think SJM is right. Especially the part about making the same mistakes over and over again. Giving any significant assets for a one-year rental at nearly $10 million for a team in the midst of a rebuild and that won't make the playoffs makes nonsense.

Right Lip. What good does a couple more wins do next year? Stay with Bennett and keep the #1

Wait a minute. #1 - You listen to the T-Spence radio show? and #2 - Wolfson actually went on it? That is the most asinine thing I've heard in a long time. TSpence is a complete nobody and phony. There are at least 25 guys on this board who have more credibility than that guy.

I have listened to his show like two times, it is bad, but pretty funny to listen to because how bad it is, and yes Dougie went on the show. how sad is that

I actually followed that idiot on twitter for a couple weeks at the height of the Love to Clev speculation. He guaranteed the trade was going to be announced on two separate occasions. I'm not sure which was more embarrassing. He completely got played by an imposter on another board, and that was his "source" of information. I'll give the guy this much - he has guts - he keeps being made the fool but keeps coming back.

I really wish people would stop acting like Bennett is anything like Young in play styles. Two completely different players. The only thing similar is they're both tweeners, except Young's a good tweener and Bennett is not.

And if we could flip Bennett, who I see losing value really quickly around the league, for a good starting PF in the NBA (Young), that'd be a win. I also don't see Young opting out, which makes him a two-year investment.

If the other rumors are true and we're trading the MIA 1st, then we're getting a starting caliber player for a mid-to-late 1st rounder. That is NOT like the HOU/Budinger trade where Bud was NOT a starter. He was a piece off the bench who, honestly, hadn't shown enough in the league to be worth a 1st. Young is a different situation. It's not very often you can get a guy like Young for a mid-to-late 1st.

I don't want to give up both Bennett and the 1st. Not because they have extremely high value, but because we should be able to get Young from Philly without giving both.

PS: T-Spence is an idiot.

For the most part cam, I agree with you on a lot of stuff, but you need to give bennett a chance, he might be a flop but give him a shot, I mean it takes players time to develop, it is a slippery slop to decide how good a player is or isn't after one year of playing. I mean Randy Foye was second in the ROY voting and he turned out to be a rotation player. Lance Stephenson played a total of 54 games in his first two seasons in the NBA. Also Pek looked like one of the worst players in the NBA after his first year. For me I don't think Anthony Bennett will ever be an all star, maybe a starter, but I think he has the potential to be a key role player on an NBA Championship caliber team, maybe the 4/5th option on one of those team. Give him a chance at least 1 or 2 more years until you totally trash the guy.

I am on the fence about dealing the pick or Bennett but I do want Young either way. It sounds like the pick will be going and thats ok with me even though I think it is entirely possible that Miami flops. Itd be nice to have some protection on it just in case. I want Young because I am tired of this team trying to grow without leaders that play a significant role. We can't expect Ronny Turiaf to help these kids grow while waving a towel. They need to see it and hear it. Flip has the right idea here.

Can you be more specific. I am not sure which idiot you are talking about! :)

Lol I don't follow T-spence I just happen to see that Wolfson appeared on his show via realgm. The whole T-spence thing is kinda sad but whatever. I was bored and couldn't sleep I figured I'd see what Doogie had to say. Lol After following Doogie for a while on twitter etc I'd say he is a little more legit as a source than I gave him credit for in the past. Anyway it was interesting "radio" (lol) spot but no real new info but there really isn't any of that right now.

Also I agree T-Spence is likely a joke but wow he is really committed. Right after Wolfson was on the next guest was the guy that was his T-spence Twitter impersonator (that means you made it right?) on for a few minutes. Sad very sad. Iol
