A guy who can hit threes at a high clip, but is a porous defender. We need a guy like Pat who can actually start games for us & has more consistency with his shot.

We would be damn near the best team in the NBA if we got him.
Just wondering if some kind of godfather offer of Ross, JV, a myriad of draft picks and prospects, etc could land him.

I'm still high on Ibaka. He looked great last night. Though I haven't seen enough of him over the last couple seasons to have an opinion on whether he is actually declining as some and the stats suggest. Perhaps it's a situational thing, I don't know, but he would be a great fit with the starting unit. Doesn't need the ball as much as an LMA or Millsap, and would be the better fit next to JV of the 3 IMO. No significant cap space though, so getting him in the offseason seems impossible.

Don't underestimate Masai's ability to relate to a player on a personal level....especially a player with a similar heritage.

Furthermore, I'm not convinced this team needs a consistent 20ppg player anyways. I have a difficult time envisioning this team being better by adding a Cousins, Davis, or LMA type. Not sure there is enough ball to go around for those guys. Ibaka, yes, and Millsap perhaps too, but both of those guys are going into free agency next summer and we lack cap space to sign them.

I don't know much about ibaka but superficially strikes me more like Carroll - old (27/30/? going on 45) and broken.

Could we realistically trade JV + fillers & picks for Boogie?

If I'm the GM, I don't make that trade. But if Masai does it, I'll get on board fast enough - way too many variables in play in my mind, but I'd definitely be interested to see if the team could overcome all those and maybe get even better.

The other names would easily make us better but not necessarily better than CLE. The one exception out of those names is Davis. That kid is a true franchise player n the future of the league. Him, Siakam and Norm would be absolutely stifling on defense and AD is like a SF in a C's body. In a couple of years LBJ would be worn out DD would be in his prime and AD entering his with a host of other young guys on our roster. I would trade pretty much anything for AD but Pelicans aren't moving him for at least a couple of years.
