    I know this could have been put in the random trade thread,but I didn't see getting enough visibility for something that needs to be discussed....Considering our point guard issues and all.Seattle appears to be moving over to Okie City and this guy is an underrated player on the come.He really seems to be blossoming....a long player that can D up AND shoot a little.I thought I heard mention of a legit rumor...can't remember...hope so.
    I know Brooks is going to be a helluva player but we should add West now.

    Would you give Head for West?

    I like him. What would it take to get him, though?

    Send Snyder and $3 mill for TE. Send TE back to Seattle for Delonte. Send Luther back with the TE created from Delonte to here, throw them another $1 million. Then trade our first for their second. (This is a steal for us as Morey will get more value from their high second pick than having to pay guranteed salary for our first.

    Git'er done.




    *Then bring back Mike Harris.

    He's a bit selfish but can put up points. The worry would be if he fits under Adelman's system or would his teammates be annoyed at him?

    I think he'd be a fit. I think he's got a good BBall IQ. Anybody that can shoot the 3 ball at a 40% clip and dribble it, is gonna fit if for nothing else than but to play off 111.

    Doesn't seem like that good a shooter to me, but I don't know much about him other than he is shooting 39% this year and only 42.7 last year.

    He seems to have a high turnover avg too for the time played.

    I hope his defense is really good because his offense is almost Rafer-like. Right now I might prefer Luther Head.

    I would be beyond happy to add Delonte. Love his length/speed, his effort on D, and the fact that he seems to be able to hit the open ones. He's not a prototype distributor, but I don't really think we need one.

    No question I would give up Head for him, plus some draft picks.

    Think we could trade Snyder or Head for him?

    Does this rumor with Delonte actually have roots or is it just a random trade idea?

    How can that be when he's got KD on the same team?

    So fast your Head would do a meat-spin.

    Strange,

    Dont know a whole lot about Delonte but what about Keyon Dooling in Orlando? I saw the game against Houston he had and he was very impressive shooting and defense and would probably come cheaper than Delonte. I would try to do Dooling and Garrity for snyder & james. Garritys contracts expires at the end of the year and you get rid of James/Snyder.

    Looks like this guy is rumored right now to go to Denver

    Von Waker and Diawara and a 1st round pick for Delonte West and a 2nd round pick.

    It's close to transpiring. Ric was on ESPN radio

    I wonder if that 1st they're sending takes them out of the Artest sweepstakes.
