Khris middleton blew out his hammy and is out 6 months.  Bucks calling around for wing help.  Anyone know a team with extra wings??

Bummer for the Bucks, but also kind of interesting as Jabari Parker, Giannis and Middleton are all basically SFs.   I really like MIddleton's game.  I wanted us to trade for him this Summer.

Naw, Parker and Giannis are both more power forwards than small forwards, though Gianni's can probably play both effectively.

Looks like they're already calling around for some extra wing help. It's got to be more than just a stopgap, too, because he's basically gone for this season now at 6 months. It'd be March at the earliest.

Bradley and KO for Parker? I've long said Bradley is a perfect fit there.

EDIT: Without Middleton, that starting lineup is almost totally devoid of shooting, too. You have to think that one or both of KO and Bradley's shooting would be desperately wanted/needed there.

Not interested in Parker.  May be willing to give up James Young for him, though.  Bradley is kind of a perfect fit everywhere.  Jabari Parker seems like a horrible fit for Boston.

Bradley isn't an all star but he's so valuable to us. His d is just amazing and that he can even be efficient and productive at the other end is so rare I think. If Bradley is in a trade I feel it had to be a huge talent upgrade coming our way.

Dang, if we weren't in win now mode I would seriously consider Bradley and extra stuff for Parker. I think he's primed for a big year.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

AB for Parker straight up wouldn't be bad.

Del, AB, Giannis, Tele, Monroe

Then when Khris is back
Del, AB, KM, Giannis, Monroe.
Enis, Brogdon, Tele, Henson, Plum

I think Parker is not getting traded. Monroe will most likely be moved.

I'm so-so on Monroe but I'd roll the dice on him if the price drops enough.  Horford could cover up a lot of his deficiencies and he could open up our 3 pt shooting and IT's drives.  And his contract gets better as the cap keeps jumping.

I like AB but I'd probably give him up for Monroe. We'd have to toss in a few young guys to make salaries work but Young at least is doing us a favor.  It'd give our team another dimension offensively and improve our rebounding where Horford's numbers are shaky recently.  Not sure if Milwaukee would prefer a bigger wing but I think they'd give it a hard look.

Problem with trading AB is we need his shooting just as much as the Bucks do.

Too bad the Bucks gave Miles Plumlee $12.5 million when JR Smith is a free agent.

Only true if you are a Bucks fan.

Or believe in Parker being good given another year.
