I don't think teams are lining up to trade a draft pick for an oft-injured big man (though he's intriguing when he plays). We'd probably have to give him for free or even throw in a future 2nd; we're likely not getting a pick and a TPE for him.

I don't see Wellington being cut. He's a Tarheel and just went through a tragedy. FO knows it can't cut him.
What I'm curious about is why they're even trying to get a player right now. 10 day contracts don't start until January. So if they bring in someone, and they don't like him, that's 2 contracts you'd be eating (the person who is cut and the replacement). |
Ha ... you must be hungry, bro.
Scott loves Price ... you're right on point: it's the hustle. Both in game and at practices, I'm sure. Hard for a coach not to give the benefit of the doubt to a truly willing vessel.
That is curious. Maybe they're through with X. He's "boucing back" real slow. The franchise has been snake bitten by injury so, with brittle Kelly taking a 6-week health leave, maybe they're willing to at least explore the option of eating 2 instead of 1.
Intrigue me as Quincy's skill-set does ... what intrigues me more is why Denver's giving up on him and why nobody claimed him off waivers. Must be more than just "basketball reasons".

I thought Roscoe was a surprisingly good rebounder (particularly, offensively) and showed decent touch on his midrange to couple with lots of willingness to defend and play a complimentary role.
Not the upside of Miller, that's for sure but I think may have off-court, above the neckline issues going on. Perhaps Roscoe's the safer bet.

IF the team is looking to bring someone in, go with Miller. More upside than Roscoe who has pretty much hit his low ceiling.
I think the reason why no one has signed him is that he may be shooting for a team like the Lakers to get the Jodie Meeks contract later.

Jodie did very well for himself and I'm happy for him.
Sure Quincy, if that's you're angle ... come on down and Sacre ... you can move on down.

I think he's worth a future 2nd. It's not like he has some huge contract. He's very low risk for any team looking for a potential stretch 4 |

IIRC, Miller had a knee injury late in high school that sort of stopped his momentum. Was a top high school phenom until that injury.
ACL injuries take a few seasons to recover from so maybe the Lakers get lucky renting him for a season? I'd rather go with a guy who has some upside over a guy with very little (Roscoe).

With Nick Young back, Ronnie Price has become expendable. Also makes Ellington expendable. Cut them both and then sign Quincy. Leave 1 roster spot for another "need" player.

Look, the less I see of Byron's 3 guard lineups, the better. Lin and Price should never be in there together. If he wants to go gimmicky, Lin and Clarkson makes more sense. Quincy, sure. Anyone. Please.

Maybe last year, but he's already started this season off poorly with injuries. 2nd round picks can be an important asset. At best I see a straight TPE swap for Kelly, not TPE AND a 2nd.

That's not my point. I can see a team giving up a TPE for him. That's easy. To get a 2nd rounder with that, that's really tough. And I doubt Lakers trade him as he fills a role on this team once he's back.

Golaker and KBCB are expertly baking my crow pie (the later having tasted it last season). I'll have it on the side with some Brussels sprouts.

Well it's too early to start preparing that.
But not to early to ask how you like it.
Lakers like Kelly a LOT.
I did too but he's starting to frustrate me.

Pipe: Utah decides to commit to Favors and Kanter as their centers. Trades us Gobert for Kelly & Sacre + our Houston 2nd
Then we sign Miller with Randle's DPE  |

There wouldn't be some duplication between what Steve Novak does for Utah and what Kelly would provide?
Absorbing Kelly into Cap Space is something Utah might do, but squeezing a pick from them might be more difficult.
