    I still need it. Five guys that can fit under my cap that played 41 games.

    Otherwise I need to dump jr smith or nelson for a cheaper player. Both of those guys are on the block.

    Or a list of the five cheapest eligible players would be useful.

    how about Stephen Jackson, Nic Batum, and Omer Asik for Granger, Lee, and Humphries

    you upgrade the 2 guard while getting depth at center(with the expense of losing granger of course but you have to give to get something)

    Frankly, I'm not that interested in this draft. I'll just accept every trade offer I get from now on as long as salaries match.

    Just trade Scola for a decent SF and you'll have a good team ICDOY

    Shane Battier and Jeff Green for Aldridge and Chase.

    Or, you could take the 4 team offer and not ruin the draft for everyone else.

    Alright spoon ill do this on my phone
    Why they are in the same league:
    1. Defense/rebounding/passing.... on defense rondo is better no contest. Passing though is close. But you say, how is parker even close? Rondos assist averages are higher! You're delusional! Parker is a very good passer but doesn't show in his averages because he has a great playmaker next to him in ginobili, who gets his fair share of handling the ball and getting assists, which is why parkers assists aren't that high. Rondo,on the other hand, is the only ball handler which is why he gets those gaudy assist numbers. Defense/rebounding-rondo... passing-its close (by the way they both had the same number of defensive boards averaged)

    2. Offense... parker is better. He is abetter finisher(not penetrator, which imo its arguable), he can shoot the ball. He may not be able to shoot 3s but at least he has a midrange game. Rondo can't shoot period. Even you would agree, that parker wins on this one. Heck, rondo shot 57 percent from the line. Horrible and he's a pg

    3.conclusion- its extremely close, rondo is a the best pg defender in the league. But how often can a pg tilt the game with defense. Its just not the same as the defensive value of a guy like dwight. Pgs can change the game with their defense on certain nights, sure but not every game. They are both similar in passing-with rondo slightly edging parker out. Parker is a better shooter and finishes better. Rondo wins but only by a slight margin.

    Yeah the Celtics don't have Pierce who handles the ball a lot...

    Rondo is a better passer than Tony Parker. He is a better rebounder. He is a better defender.

    Tony Parker's jumpshot is not that consistent either.

    Rondo penetrates as well as Tony Parker. Parker finishes and Rondo passes.

    IMO, Rondo and Parker are similar offenively but Rondo is significantly better at defending or rebounding.

    How often do you see pierce shredding the defense getting past people and dishing the ball. He handles the ball a lot on iso situations where he pulls up over the defender. He is not like manu who actually passes when he is dribbling through the defense. Explain to me how he isa better rebounder. Defende ri agree. Parkers jumpshot is inconsistent and rondos jumpshot is nonexistent.

    How long do I have for this pick? I will take it to the deadline unless I get a cap saving deal made.

    You can't just claim he is abetter passer and rebounder. I gave you valid reasons why rondo is not that far ahead if even ahead at all of rondo in those areas.

    Peja is ineligible.
    Jared jeffries, mike bibby, Reggie Williams
    All under 1 mil

    Seems to me like icdoy's team is an easy fix.
