LOL!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING. Bargs and Duncan together and Frye is your backup C? BTW Salmons isn't really starter quality in this draft. Salmons Bargs Duncan lol.....
Salmons would make a pretty good starter imo. He's a decent two way player and shot 37 percent from 3. He can give me that "spacing" everyone was talking about. Duncan playing center He can't do that. the hayes sized dejuan blair plays center for that team right. the one who guards the other pfs and is guarded by the other teams pfs. I just need a good backup who can play defense and chew up some minutes.
If you call a 415% field goal percentage spacing... Thats like saying Stephen Jackson is a good shooter. At least Steven Jackson is a great defender. You are putting Duncan next to Bargnani. Duncan has 0 lateral movement left. Who is going to help with Bargnani. Duncan? Channing Frye? How does Wade work with Duncan?
If I can find a quality backup center or even someone who is an average starter ill be fine. Say I find someone like birdman.. hemay not be starters quality but can still play d and I can start him with duncan with bargs coming off the bench. I see what you are saying about salmons but he's not in there to score. Just hit those open threes. On the offensive end, this team is solid.
A top 10 SG for a top 10 PG. To make up for your lost of PG, I can trade you a starting PG at Harris. Upgrades on your bench SF slot with Battier. And more as a cap filler but still a 7ft center at Spencer Hawes. The only player with sizable contract outside of your starting line-up is Brand. I take in 2 fillers. Which is Mahinmi and either gray/dudley/ Maybe you have some idea of yours? Contract wise this is as close as I can go. At 436,547 my favor. Gordon($3,016,680) + Harris ($8,981,000) + Battier ($7,354,500) + Hawes ($2,974,320) for Westbrook ($4,017,720) + Brand ($15,959,100) + Mahinmi (884,293) + Gray ($1,028,840)
PG is not a big issue for me. As Tyreke Evans is always there to play at PG. By letting Duncan go, the team can play much faster. Camby played well alongside Aldridge. And a 7ft center that starts for his team is always good trade bait. And by getting Deng without losing Batum, for me its like replacing Deng for Battier.
I'm considering the trade. I'll get back to you soon. It would leave me with Harris/Conley Gordon/Terry/Brewer Granger/Dudley/Battier David West/Battier/Hawes Noah/Oden
