1. Trade! Trade! Trade! 2. JWill (he's the best player in the draft) 3. Dunleavy 4. Anything but Yao.
Trade #1 and some dead weight (Cato, Mo T, Rice, etc.) for a gaurenteed lottery selction next year from a team like Denver, Golden State, or Chicago. Let the LeBron James/Kendrick Perkins sweepstakes begin!
Tough choice,I say keep Ming,because we are not likely to get either Chandler or Curry by offering Williams,and I also doubt if the Bulls will give either of those guys for Ming.
I agree with fellow AG, Greg. We should trade the #1 and some contracts (Cato and Rice), for someone's pick next year that will give us a chance to get James, and their selection this year, be it #3-8. This will allow us to get the small foward we want in Butler or Skeeta and a possibility to get a HIGH next year (good b/c our pick goes to the Griz, as we all know) If we were to get Butler at #3-8 and Stoudemire or Nene at #15 this year and James next year.....can we say DYNASTY?? Eventual line-up: Francis / Mooch James / Mobley (6th man) Butler / KT / T-Mo Griffin / Mo-T / KT Stoudemire or Nene / Mo-T By the way....McNeal is going to be a stud!!!!
We're exhausted enough just getting to draft order day (only hours left) and you're talking about NEXT year? Let's get the best pieces we can NOW and let next year take care of itself. And, please, let's take our #15 while we can, and try our best to give Memphis a high #20 pick next year by utilizing our current troops and draft day reinforcements.
Hey Ags, I gotta disagree. We don't want to leave this year emptyhanded. I'd rather trade down. As for James, he could turn his ankle or he may be in Italy. Perkins isn't ready. I think he's bound for the University; he'll be part of the James Thomas/Buckman/ Perkins frontline.
If we get #1, draft Jay Williams, then draft some big guy at #15, sign and trade later for Lamar Odom and whomever the Clips pick at #8/9 (Hilario?)
1. We should trade it and pick up a good sf or a decent C just like when the Hawks traded there 3rd pick and a couple of bad players and got Shereef Abdul Rahim. 2. trade it for either another player like on 1 or trade for 1 lottery pick and an early second rounder in the draft. 3. take either of these guys which ever 1 is there or if more than 1 is take it in this order Jwill, Yao, or Dunleavy
WE DID! And we'll probably take Ming. Guys like Ming come along only once a decade ... gotta worry about the politics a bit, though ...
I dunno if we should get the Chinese guy, supposed, the Chinese government is NOT allowing the Dallas Mavericks Chinese player come back next year. We better get something in writing that he will be permitted to play for the Rockets.
