would you want Varejao?

he wouldn't fit in our youth movement, but he more than earns his money, gets us

some rebounds we desperately need, and might like to stay in Charlotte with a

strong nucleus of young talent getting better.

" Anderson Varejao is highly available, as he has been for the past few seasons, but likewise expressed a good amount of skepticism about his actually moving before the trade buzzer in February because the Cavs' perpetually high asking price has only gone up. The Cavs, sources say, want multiple young assets in return for the 30-year-old, who is averaging 14.3 points and 14.8 rebounds and possesses a very manageable contract that calls for Varejao to receive $9.1 million next season with a $9.8 million team option in 2014-15. The Thunder are the rare title contender also blessed with the sort of youth/stashed draft picks to appeal to Cleveland, but sources say OKC has shown little interest to date."

I want Kevin Love. He and Minny are not getting along well. It would take a lot to get him but as long as we can keep Kemba, MKG and Bismack (and Jeff Taylor if possible), everything else (including our 1st rounders from Portland and Detroit) is available. A starting five of BB, Love, MKG, Taylor & Kemba...and Love, at age 24, would be the oldest of them.

And yes, I know this is unlikely. Love wants to be on a playoff team and Kahn is very difficult to deal with.

Kevin Kove is going nowhere for the next 2 years at least! The only front court player they may be moving is Derrick Williams whom they wanted to see play with Rubio before deciding rather or not they wanted to trade them.

Also after the Article came out Love followed up with this http://www.startribune.com/video/183203011.html#/183203011/video/1/hpmfv

He talks about how he stands by the comments he made, but that the article was portrayed negatively, and that Adrian Wojnarowski omitted the numerous positive things Love said about the team. Love says he is very happy with the offseason moves, and the direction of the team. Said he has talked to Adelman and Kahn about the article, and that they all came to the conclusion to just move on. Ended the interview by saying what he was trying to get across in the Adrian article, was that he wanted to sign the 5 year contract, and wants to be a cornerstone of the franchise and end his career in Minnesota.

SO even if Love was a possibilty I would not want him... we don't have numerous pieces like other teams which means we would have to give up SOOOO much to get him our roster/Future picks would be much worst than what he has at Minny now.

Same with Anderson V. We are a REBUILDING team... we can't afford to give up all the good trading pieces we have for one player. If we had good expendable pieces, or quality pieces that don't get well then we could move a player (Like us moving Gerald because of the play of Taylor),

Now if we want to talk more realistic trades, it maybe something along the line of putting a package together with Henderson for a Derrick Williams type player.

We couldnt afford him, Cavs asking price is way too high. He should have been traded away to a contender last year or the year before (because he makes no sense on a rebuilding team), but cavs seem to think he is an all star big or something. Plus he is now 30 so his value is only decreasing now

Minny is doing the same thing with Derrick Williams. They keep trying to trade the guy (since he is a terrible fit on their roster), yet they think he is still worth the 2nd overall pick they spent on him. Minny has apparently not figured out that when a young player doesnt get minutes and doesnt produce that it affects his trade value. They seriously offered him to us for the #2 pick before the draft last year

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
