Power Forward we can bring in

MLE or our TE is not enough jack to get a legit 4.

We need an athletic shooting guard that can be our 3rd scoring option much more than we need a 4. Our speed on the perimeter sucks with Battier/Mcgrady/Alston playing the 1,2, and 3. Battier is slower than Wesley, and even Wesley was too slow.

Trading for Battier so he can be that power forward that spreads the floor is the only way I can even comprehend this move. As a 4, Battier possesses most of the characteristics we’re looking for. A Charlie Hustle type that will do the dirty work, play defense, get hustle rebounds, make smart plays, and spread the floor with his 3-point shooting. As a 2/3, he posseses hardly any of the qualities we need. He can’t dribble, he’s not a playmaker, he’s not a particularly good scorer, he can’t create his own shot, and he’s not athletic/quick enough to help us keep up the guards of Dallas/Phoenix.

I concur completely with this. Battier is more of a 3/4 than a 2/3. Tmac is a 2/3 but is going to play the majority of his minutes as a SF. We still need a long 2/3.

We STILL need a long 2 to backup Tmac. a backup 3 for Battier. a backup 4 for...well maybe a starting 4 for Howard. Deke's replacement is needed. and a backup for Alston. We need a WHOLE bench now.

From the list above, I'd want Wilcox, Gooden, Ely, or Cato for cheap. Maybe Cleveland is packaging Gooden and Hughes in a deal since Hughes wants out? maybe? please?
