Its way too early to actually predict accurate trades as of now but its easy to see who needs to be traded: Brewer 8 Mill , Tjones 1.5 Mill so without adding anyone if we traded them this is how the roster would look Dwight/Capela/Dmo Dmo/Capela/Harrell Ariza/thornton/KJ Harden/terry/thornton Beverly/Lawson So looking at this depth chart i feel like iam sure many do, that we need a stretch 3/4 with some d ....so our best options are ryan anderson, galllinari, marvin wlliams, teleteovic. Obviously i would prefer galo cuz i think hell make our offense completly unguardable but i worry we will need to add capela to induce denver. I think it will be either Mwill or anderson but its too early to tell which teams will sell which will buy yet but a player who can play both the 3/4 with D and 3 pt shooting, and i would def prefer D, so Marvin williams is on tthe top of my list

We get the skilled PF we need with some balls, philly gets two young "prospects" they can mess with in their little test tube and a vet leader.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=gpr476g This one is a little more unrealistic, just ideas. HOU in: McLemore Noel, Covington HOU out: Ariza, Jones Dekker PHI in: Gay, Jones Dekker PHI out: Noel, Covington, Wroten, Canaan SAC in: Ariza, Wroten, Canaan SAC out: McLemore, Gay
If Philly really wanted Jones they can pay him in a couple of months and get him without losing any assets, much less one as valuable as Noel. And if they want a vet leader there are players they can sign without trading assets for.
Players who are averaging over 1 three, 6 rebounds per game whom I think are somewhat realistically attainable. M.Williams R.Anderson O.Casspi A.Aminu I don't know what it would take, but any trade centered around us sending out one of Jones/Motie + Brewer with us getting one of those players in return would be a great trade. Dump Brewer, with one of our PF's who will need to be traded(since we aren't re-signing both) for a starter quality 4 who can hit 3's and rebound respectably.
Ironically Casspi would fit well with the team now. Would really like to package Jones and Brewer for Anderson lol but that's totally unrealistic
Trade t jones after he had a decent game while there is some resemblence of value. Target veteran defensive presence in the front court.
Aminu would be my favorite on that list, young, plays D, hits 3's and is on good 4 year contract for 7.5 mill a year.
What is Aminu's three point percentage like?, and what is the average of the attempts that he takes per game?
34% on 1.5 made 3's per game in his 21 games played this season. And in the playoffs last year he went 7-11 for the mavs. He's far from being as safe of a bet from 3 as someone like Anderson, but if he can keep up his current shot rate, with his rebounding and defense he would be a a great 3 and SF/PF for years to come.
He did play well against us in the playoffs, and I like his defense and rebounding too. He would be a more sure player than Corey Brewer.
Brew has NEGATIVE value. You can't just include him for salary matching without having to significantly compensate the other team for taking on his awful contract. As for T.Jones I keep looking at 3 eastern teams that should be interested in him. Maybe for a late first as well. Brew? Noone would expect if Morey is prepared to throw in smth significant to sweeten the deal.
We'd have to find a team who believes Brewer can play at last year's level and needs some help at the wings. Maybe the Wizards? They play a similar style of fast paced athletic offense. 3 team deal Brewer and two 2nd's for Dudley and Blair Motie(orJones), KJ and Dekker(orHarrell) for Anderson Would work financially for all teams involed I believe. Anderson is 28, has had injury issues and the Pelicans should be focusing on getting the best pick they can at this point. If they can get some young players for him or picks they should go for it IMO. Then for the Wizards, they will have to pay Beal next off season so they wont really have much cap space, they can add Brewer and two 2nds for Dudley and dump Blair. Beverley / Lawson Harden / Thornton / Terry Ariza / Dudley Anderson / Jones / Harrell Howard / Capela
