    I can see him trying to trade up in the draft for one. That will be very difficult to do. Indiana is said to once be interested in Randolph. Perhapes aquiring Randolph will be the key to trade up in the draft for Indiana's pick.

    The only players i would consider trading are Ibaka, Cousins or Thabeet. I wouldn't want Pryz (an old washed up player with chuck's current offensive skillset) nor Camby (he's good but he doesn't really fit our youth moto).

    I'm really worried about being stuck in mediocrity and becoming the next Golden State Warriors

    1) Kevin Martin to Indiana for Danny Granger


    2) Scola and Courtney Lee to Portland for LaMarcus Aldridge
    I'd throw in Jordan Hill or Patrick Paterson if they'll ship us that Wesley Matthews kid.

    Brooks, Jordan Hill, Pat Pat and Jeffries

    for

    Cousins, Landry and Pooh Jeter

    Balances both teams' rosters, and gets us under the luxury tax.

    I hear Zan Tabak is looking for work these days.

    Sorry, I know that trade is a tangent. But we haven't really been playing with a center for 2 years. We need impact guys; center would be best... but hard to come by. I think those are realistic trades that can cure our ills ASAP.

    I bet Old Man Dream could still man the paint better than any of our current chumps.

    Tyson Chandler is a GREAT idea. No need to blow it all up, let Yao expire (or sign for vet min), let JJ and Battier expire and sign TC. Gives us a solid starting center and we still have a solid crew. No need to lose anyone in a trade.

    Brooks/Lowry
    Martin/Lee
    T-Will/Bud
    Scola/Hill/Pat/Hayes
    Chandler/Miller/Hill

    awesome lineup!! loads of defense, good offense and a solid shot blocker!

    Love it!

    I think we should hope for Orlando to do extremely poorly this year so that Dwight Howard will request a trade, and Daryl Morey can jump all over that.

    I personally would like us to get Joe Smith from Atlanta. But we'll probably end up with cousins or gortat. As long as we don't give up to much for them I'm cool with them.
