Trade with GS

The thing is you are not going to make the team a contender with one move, this is a team that has not got out of the first round, it's about upgrading talent at all positions, getting better slowly. This team is not one move away from a championship despite what everyone thinks.

Hell, if it really that bad and it is really going to be that slow.. Let''s trade both Yao and Tracy for hopefully Oden or Durant and Boston's best 6 players, aside from Paul Pierce, and just start over again.

We'd have some excitment, perhaps. Yao, Tracy and Pierce with scrubs could do decent in the playoffs. We could toss in Rafer and some other role players so they could field a team.

Alston has very little playmaking skills and you are suggesting that we get another player who is not as good a playmaker as him. Don't be so silly!!

Foyle sucks. Deke is better then he is.

Houston definitely a good PG this time....Jasikevicius is a hard working PG, but i don;t think he is better than Rafer
Now if Rox try to make a trade with Raptors for Calderon, I'm all ears...
Calderon is a true PG, with high rate of assists, quick and low turnovers
Highly unlikely to get him though, Raptors probably want to keep him

Here's a trade to make both teams better.

Rafer Alston + Juwan Howard for Sarunas Jasikevicius + Adonal Foye.

This should be interesting.

Rafer is basically an open court player forced to be a stand still 3 point shooter in JVG's team. He would THRIVE in Golden State's team

as a perfect backup to Barouwa

Well that's great except that by all accounts it won't be JVG's team next year and at this point it's pretty difficult to predict what our offense will be - except if the Rick Adelman reports are true, then it'll be a Princeton offense and Rafer won't be a stand still 3 point shooter anymore.

trugoy said:

Sarunas Jasikevicius is redundant in GS because he's a half court PG, whereas GS run an open court style of game, he is not atheletic enough for Don Nelson to get minutes. He doesn't have the playmaking skills of rafer, however he doesn't need to since the offense is not built around a playmaking PG. He is a Dead-eye standstill 3 point shooter, will thrive in an offense built around Yao.

I wouldn't mind adding him to our roster at all assuming we're still going to be a half-court team next year - but I do think it's silly to assume much about our team next year until we know who our coach is going to be.

trugoy said:

Adonal Foye also out of favour in Don Nelson's team, because Al Harrington basically took all his minutes. He has no offensive game other than dunks, however he is a monster rebounder and blocks a ton of shots, very physical player, basically would be an enforcer on the court. He would be everything that people hoped from stromile swift in that he is a very good locker room presence and also he has high Bball IQ.

He isn't better than Mutumbo or even Tsakalidas so what the hell do we need him for?

trugoy said:

I think the team has to think of these type of moves because trying to trade for KG etc... is not realistic. I think by making this trade, the rockets would've upgraded at 2 spots and this is a trade that is a win win for both teams

It's realistic in the fact anybody would jump on it, but it doesn't improve or team. I fail to see how trading our starting point guard for their third string point guard and a rotation player for a guy who, at best, would be our third string center (when we already have two quality back up centers) improves our team at all. Further, I don't think it's necessary. Don Nelson would probably trade Sarunas Jasikevicius for John Lucas III and change. If you want to talk about a player who could thrive in Golden State - it's John Lucas III.
