What REALISTIC trades can we make to improve our team?

Here are some guys that I would love to see on the Rox..


YAO- CENTER
PJ Brown or Brian Grant
Matt Harpring or Jamal Mashburn or Odom
FRANCIS- PG
Jon Barry or Jamal Crawford


Obtaining any two of those guys would make my off-season.


Personally, I do not think it is imperative for us to get a stud PG. Especially given the fact that SF will never become a spot up shooter type. Perhaps find a PG similar to the Steve Kerr/MJ combo, or Fisher/Kobe combo. I think Jon Barry can fit this role and not cost us an arm and a leg...

 

If we're dreamcasting, how about this set of trades:

1) Houston trades:

PG Tito Maddox (1.2 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.6 apg in 3.9 minutes)
SG Cuttino Mobley (17.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 41.7 minutes)
PF Maurice Taylor (8.4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.0 apg in 20.6 minutes)

Houston receives:

PG Travis Best (8.4 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 3.5 apg in 25.1 minutes)
SG Eddie Jones (18.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.7 apg in 38.1 minutes)
2003 First Round Pick

Miami trades:
PG Travis Best (8.4 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 3.5 apg in 25.1 minutes)
SG Eddie Jones (18.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.7 apg in 38.1 minutes)
2003 First Round Pick

Miami receives:

PG Tito Maddox (1.2 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.6 apg in 9 games)
SG Cuttino Mobley (17.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 73 games)
PF Maurice Taylor (8.4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.0 apg in 67 games)

And then 2)

Houston trades:

SF Glen Rice (9.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.1 apg in 24.7 minutes)
2005 First Round Pick
2004 Second Round Pick

Houston receives:

PF Jermaine O'Neal (20.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 2.0 apg in 37.2 minutes)
PG Fred Jones (1.2 ppg, 0.5 rpg, 0.3 apg in 6.0 minutes)

Indiana trades:

PF Jermaine O'Neal (20.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 2.0 apg in 37.2 minutes)
PG Fred Jones (1.2 ppg, 0.5 rpg, 0.3 apg in 6.0 minutes)

Indiana receives:

SF Glen Rice (9.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.1 apg in 62 games)
2005 First Round Pick
2004 Second Round Pick

Yao/Cato/Collier
O'Neal/Griffin
E. Jones/Posey/Morris
Francis/E. Jones/Posey
Best/F. Jones/Norris

 

That'd make a nice trade on NBA 2k3. But its **** in reality. Pacers want to make a run NOW, not in 5 years. Jermaine is their best player and we are giving them 2 decent players for the "future". And how would the first trade workout. Can't be no trading or whatever until Draft day. How can we get their first round pick for this year AFTER this years draft? NExt years might work, but who knows.
