Back up C solution + draft pick solution

Each time I see a depth chart with Tmac on it starting at SG I stop reading immediately the post. The dude can't even run right now.

 

We'd probably have to give up a future 1st...
And please, no McGrady please. Will not play another game for the Rockets.

 

So the Warriors give up three higher 1st round picks (including 2 lottery picks) for essentially Aaron Brooks?

They could have grabbed James White out of the D-League last year if they wanted him like every other team. Has White done something since the Rockets picked him up to suddenly increase his value? I don't mean to diminish Hayes but they already have Turiaf and aren't generally looking for defense-only players.

We need to give the Warriors a lot more than that to get that package. Even a future 1st probably wouldn't make much difference since it would be a late pick.

 

You're generally correct but that doesn't change the fact that this deal is highly lopsided in favor of the Rockets. Brooks is good but nothing special other than his playoff performance and the fact that he got to start for half a season.

Wright and Bellineli are both arguably better than Brooks in terms of upside. His proposal not only gives us both of them but also the 7th pick in this draft which could turn into another player with big upside.

On our end, White was there for the taking last season and hasn't done anything since then to up his value. Hayes is a stud in his role but the Warriors already met their quota for that type of player by signing Turiaf.

Hey, I'd do the deal he suggested. I just don't think the Warriors would, no matter how badly they have made decisions in the past.

 

Brandan Wright ain't a C. For that matter Garnett who is twice as muscular as Wright isn't a C. This doesn't solve the problem at all.

 

Hayes is a more solid player, but he has no trade value. I don't care how many clutch plays he makes, nobody in the league is going to give up something significant for a 6'6" pf/c.

So just toss that Hayes/James White crap out the window and ask yourself this:

Would the Warriors offer up the 7th pick in the draft straight up for Aaron Brooks?

Personally, I think we'd have to throw in a little more, like maybe a future 1st to get it done.

 

If you have watched Wright play, you wouldn't pick him to play our backup C.
that kid is nowhere near a C.

 

Brandan Wright isn't 6'11 hes more around 6'9 ish and he only weighs 210 and that is way to light for a center even a PF he'll get over powered.

 

While that is completely legit, he fits well with our run and gun 2nd unit (Lowry pushing ball + Landry/Wright would be a pretty amazing running group).

I really don't think Warriors will do this. Wright is ridiculously hyped up and though Don Nelson doesn't play him, I'm pretty sure Warrior faithful would be upset with this trade which can't be good for a team that already has enough problems.

I'm pretty sure we would need to add a good player/future 1st rounder or pickup a bad contract and give them a workable one, to make this trade work, but hell if it does work without that I am all for it.

The above deal is essentially three 1st rounders, two of them lottery picks, for Aaron Brooks.

 

Wrong, a team looking to shed multiple year contracts to start over, and possibly get into the 2010 sweepstakes will gut their team to get his expiring contract.

Some people are just amazing. Throw things out without any idea.

Does he look like he can play center?

 

Why does everyone want AB out?

 

I def think a guy we should target is Brandon Wright. An athletic long PF might be something we need. I would hate to lose Landry, but Brandon has much greater upside.
