    Horrible thread all round. Almost laughably bad roster that your master plan leaves us with.

    What is obvious is we need to get bigger, look at the Kings withThorton & Evans who are big strong players. We have Martin & Budinger so those 2 need to be replaced if they keep up this defense asap. That's step 1.
    Lee at SG and .... at SF

    Oooooh. This is fun. Let me try:

    Step 1:

    Trade away everyone who can play well (kinda like the OP unintentionally did, except keep the draft picks).

    Step 2:

    Draft Andre Drummond and someone else.

    Step 3:

    While sucking for 2-3 more years, keep drafting good, young players.

    Step 4:

    Trade some of those good, young players to a team with a superstar wanting to leave.

    Step 5:

    Acquire solid role players to play along Drummond and recently acquired superstar.

    Good or no?

    Seems like all you did was trade from bad teams for average players, one with potential and one above average for a above average starter, a quality back up with potential, and a bunch of average players.



    Reshuffling the deck with the same kind of cards is not going to get you an Ace.

    Maybe a marginal upgrade over our current roster. I dont like trades involving PatPat or Morris, I see a ton of talent in these guys that could lead to a serious threat in the future. I wish we could focus on developing our young players.

    Although, I do see us as trade partners with Minny in the NEAR future.

    i say we tank, trade scola and martin in seperate deals for first rounders, one for 2012 giving us 3 and one for next season giving us 2 in 2013…

    so, we can either use all our picks or use some as bait to nab a established superstar.. while keeping at least one to help us grow..

    I don't understand why anyone wants to waist time when this wont even come close to happening. Just taking up space...

    1)Your starting lineup seriously lacks offense
    Iggy is not a go to scorer- if he was, Philly wont be looking to trade him

    2) You must be living under a rock to want to trade T-Will now that he's finally getting some pt and doing some nice things.
    Plus we gave up a first rounder to get him, and you want us to trade him with another first rounder for a player that you want coming off the bench.

    Also, Twill never got any pt under Adelman, what makes u think he will trade for him now

    3) Nash already has a backup, his name is Aaron Brooks

    4) Step 5 is so atrocious that I will ignore it

    5) Lin already got picked up by New York, and in my opinion, good riddance

    6) Do you realize how many first rounders you just gave up on the rockets side, without getting any kinda picks in return

    7) We have a go to scorer in Kevin Martin (ignore that first game)- he's a proven scorer in this league.

    8)We dont need a backup center (our roster is filled with backup centers)- what we need is a starting center

    9) I think sf is the most crammed up position on this team, and you want another sf???
