The Kings supposedly turned down an offer by the Bucks to swap MCW for Ben McLemore.


The Bucks, sources say, have since offered former Rookie of the Year guard Michael Carter-Williams to the Sacramento Kings in a trade proposal for Ben McLemore (http://www.espn.com/blog/marc-stein/post/_/id/4581/son-of-weekend-dime-the-latest-in-training-camp-gossip) and will continue to probe for potential deals after the Kings rebuffed that pitch for 2013’s No. 7 overall pick.

McLemore was one of the worst players in the league last season but the Bucks are desperate for an athletic shooting guard who can knockdown an open 3 after Middleton got injured. They are starting Vaughn who is a total scrub....enter Jonathan Simmons::wow

Eh, we have 3 point guards better than him. Plus, just imagine watching him and Kyle slug around the court at 2MPH :lol

Kyle for Richaun Holmes. He'd easily be the best big on the bench and he's buried in Philly's big rotation. Wouldn't take much to get

or

Kyle for Kelly Oubre Jr

MCW is a cancer. He is useless without the ball in his hands.

That's why Bucks are scrubbing him and why the Kings are turning him down.

I'm not advocating for MCW to play point guard instead as a defensive stopper/slasher like Shumpert.

It's not like they are gambling on an expiring contract that might cost 'em Simmons.:lol

In any case, Shumpert was basically in the same situation as MCW when he got traded to the Cavs.

They have Garino. He impressed on defense and he's not the kind of guy to come in making mistakes all over the place. If Garino had been in camp last season, I would have picked him over J.Simms for example who was terrible. Heck Murray looks better than J.Simms did last preseason too and he's 20.

But Pop vouched for J.Simms really hard, so I feel like he will get chances for a while. Maybe he turns it around. It would be for the best, but right now it's not looking too good.

-------------------
In fact, sue me all, but I even got the impression before preseason that Pop wanted to play Kyle more as 4, but that is unlikely right now bc doing that would require to slide J.Simms to the 3, and J.Simms has been playing so poorly that Pop has gone away from that.

Maybe eventually Bertans breaks in the rotation.

Maybe they will be interested bc they might like his slashing and passing (Pop has to showcase him a little against some scrub teams though)... I saw the articles about them asking Stauskas to watch tape on Manu Ginobili, so they might like him. One never knows, maybe he will help them tank harder... :lol

Garino was DNP-coach. His agent had said he was dleague bound.

I really think the 15th spot seems to be between Laprovittola and Anthony.

(Correct me anyone who did watch the game if I am wrong on that)... Lapro bc he's a solid international player who can run an offense, Murray is a talented but very raw rook. I don't think Pop has any intention of playing him unless he needs to.

Anthony is making a case for himself bc Dedmon has been that much of a scrub.

Unfortunately this leaves Garino on the outside looking in...

He'd be arguably their best two-guard. In the very least he'd be in the mix with Henderson. They're looking just cutting one of Grant or Holmes right now, so I don't think either has that much value to them.

I don't know what Raven meant, but ppl overreact on ST a lot. Bertans could always shoot and we knew that. The question is if he can do other things well and also, can the other bench bigs get their act together.

I think Bertans shooting can help the bench spacing issues, but I don't know if Bertans will hold up defensively to everything else he would need to do to be in the rotation. I don't forget he fouled 5 times in the Suns game, was 1-5 shooting the 3 and a traffic cone on defense, chase down blocks notwithstanding, bc I did watch that game... but hey ppl dampen my own enthusiasm all the time, so I let guys be.

The Kings supposedly turned down an offer by the Bucks to swap MCW for Ben McLemore.



McLemore was one of the worst players in the league last season but the Bucks are desperate for an athletic shooting guard who can knockdown an open 3 after Middleton got injured. They are starting Vaughn who is a total scrub....enter Jonathan Simmons::wow



The Bucks have a trade exception so matching salaries won't be an issue: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=h4gytqu (Threw in JLC b/c Kidd likes lanky forwards who can't shoot::lol)


Even if you could argue that they should, I doubt the Bucks would equate Simmons with McLemore. Rightly or wrongly, I think the latter has mostly been given the benefit of the doubt because he's been in such a toxic situation. He's also 3 and 1/2 years younger and despite the pedestrian career %, has a reputation as a legit 3-point shooter and a potential knockdown one.

Also, a Carter-Williams for Simmons trade would leave them thin at point guard on both sides of the ball, but especially defensively.


All these other trades are even more unrealistic . . .

- Spurs wouldn't trade Anderson for Holmes
- Wizards wouldn't trade Oubre Jr. for Anderson
- 76ers wouldn't trade Noel for Anderson, Dedmon, 1st
- 76ers wouldn't trade Grant or Holmes for Simmons

I know Brand is fully guaranteed and they want him around for his experience and leadership, but if Holmes maintains his strong play, it's difficult to envision them waiving him. Even if minor, you don't throw a potential asset in the garbage, especially to keep a corpse.

One issue you are ignoring is that they just need a temporary fill-in until Middleton returns, McLemore has a hefty qualifying offer which I don't think the Bucks would be willing to offer ala MCW. On the other hand, they can retain Simmons for cheap & use him as a backup.

As far as backup PGs, they drafted Brogdon & signed Delly to address that issue. They also have Terry as an emergency "break the glass" backup.

I still go back and forth on J.Simms. He is definitely mistake prone even at this stage with his experience, but he is still capable of a play or two that show talent and the Spurs need the depth with Manu at 39. Ultimately I still come up about even on J.Simms.

If Manu is unavailable for whatever reason, Spurs need him. I think eventually Dijon will overtake him, but for now he's needed.

Wow... the pessimistic always discounting the Spurs.... I can't imagine them being 11th but they have a lot of roster turnaround and if Pop moves away from some of the guys that he has in the rotation right now it's rookies behind them, and rookies seldom impact defensively unless they are special in that end and dedicated b4 the NBA. I'd keep Garino, but if he's needed he can be picked up midseason. He will still get great coaching in Austin and a lot of playing time to boost his confidence.

I'm not ignoring anything. Middleton is probably not playing this season and McLemore's qualifying offer is $5.38M, which might sound pricey, but isn't unreasonable in this market. Also, if as expected Monroe opts out, they'll be at about $88M, but they'd have their rotation nearly set, with backup point guard the exception. It wouldn't be a case of needing to open up room to attempt to do something significant.

I saw that they started Brogdon and presumably had him defending the point guard in their 1st preseason game, but he's a wing offensively. Even if he can guard them, him and the corpse of Terry isn't sufficient depth.

As I suggested back in July (and got howled at by the ST monkeys), I'd love the Spurs to trade for MCW as a low risk high reward gamble.

I really think Chip could get his shot to average, and that he could be a superb perimeter defender and a decent distributor. He's still young enough to improve.

To me, it's a no-brainer. If he doesn't work out you've lost little to nothing, if he does you've found a player in his prime. Bring us MCW!

You know Pop detests lack of continuity man and this season he's had too much roster TO and rookies for his taste. He's not going to add wrinkles by giving up on guys he's counting on b4 they have gotten a fair chance. This is Pop we are talking out, and he likes these guys, openly, publicly. Yea they could be traded in a lopsided trade that favored the Spurs heavily, but MCW ain't it.

Not opposed to trading Simmons myself. Obviously I prefer that he plays better than to trade him, bc if he was playing more in control, he would be better than anyone out there that can be had, but it seems like he can't so far. If he cannot play "solid" eventually he will find his way out, but right now it's premature.

You just named 3/4 things that Kyle is good at.
This thread is about Simmons too. Rent free in TGY thread...

I think Simmons is useful as a Belinelli lite, sponges some regular season minutes to keep Manu and Tony fresh but shouldn't be near the floor past the 1st round of the playoffs.

Trade was completed, so there goes that pipe dream.

jesus, the Bulls are trying to create the worst shooting roster in the history of the NBA

It makes me wonder if they are tanking. At some point I guess they will trade Jimmy Butler. They brought D'wade to take Jimmy's spot after that trade, and to mentor all of their youngsters. Wild guess.

At this point, Simmons/JLC can net MCW. (Pop said the depth would suffer if Simmons/Kyle were put in the doghouse & he went w/ a shorter rotation but MCW would be a rotation player so he's essentially replacing Simmons)

They more than likely would have preferred Snell, but unless they have another trade in the offing (Vaughn?), it looks like you were right about them not being concerned with their lack of point guard depth. They should be though.

wonder if Simmons can still even fetch a second rounder after he gets to train-wreck it for the first couple months of season..

Have to give you props, I think you are being sincere in this thought, but a mental image popped in my head:

The J.Simms train:
