    oh yeah, and we also need a new back-up pg. Dragic is obviously great but isn't too much of a facilitator. Lowry was great as a back-up pg. Ish Smith would've been a great replacement. People were hoping T-Will could play the part...

    1) a quality PF that can pull down boards, handle easy putbacks and defend.
    - allow Scola to play 6th man
    - allow guards to play perimeter defense with defensive help behind

    2) starting quality SF

    3) young bu center that can develop into starter


    Most think we need to trade Kmart and scola... I disagree
    Kmart - for all his shortcomings is an allstar caliber player - IF he had a
    better team around him
    Scola - If someone wants to give a 1st rd pick - great, but I dont see it
    happening

    Trade Clee and Dragic now - neither will have a bu friendly contract next year, and neither is gonna be better than our present starter.

    a backup PG, really? Have you watched Dragic play. We probably won't get to keep him next year because he'll get paid too much, thats how good he is playing. He's gotten a lot more under control this year and I don't think we would be playing very well without him. He's only been getting better since he got here last year and he's still young.

    We just plain need some muscle at the 4 and an upgrade at either SF or SG. I think Dally and Lowry are fine and honestly either CLee at SG or Parsons/MMorris at SF would be fine defensively if you can upgrade at either of those positions (can't have all-stars at all positions).

    PG: Lowry/Dragic
    SG: ? / Lee / Dragic
    SF: Parsons/MMorris
    PF: ? / PPatt / DMo
    C: Dalembert/DMo/?

    And, honestly, if we can't get rid of Martin for good value, can you imagine him coming off the bench? He's pretty good value for the scoring he brings. I love Scola, but he is getting abused this year at the 4.
