I think we'll have at least one new starter next year. I'm talking major starter. We have excellent, excellent trade bait: Cato Rice Mobley Posey (if he asks too much, and its the right deal) Griffin (for a Brand-calibre player) MoT (if anyone is desperate, and he lights it up from here on out) I hope we trim the roster by one (2 for 1 trade) and try to turn some quantity into some more quality. I think Rice and Griffin could net us a great player, and then Mobley and Cato can net us 2 great players too. Out of Rice, Griffin, Mobley and Cato, I'd like tog et 3 players: A smart Guard for the backcourt, a 3-pt shooter, a good, strong PF who can bang in the West. Among Guards: Brent Barry Eric Snow Jamaal Crawford maybe (take a chance) 3-pt shooters: Lamond Murray Wesley Person Micheal Redd Power Forwards: Elton Brand PJ Brown Rasheed Wallace Those are some players I'd love to have. My favourite and most realistic combination: Brent Barry Wesley Person Elton Brand
Just my opinion, but it is much easier to bring A game defense night in a night out. It is far harder to maintain A game offense, especially with all the marbles at stake. Thus for most sports over time the A game defense with the B or C game defense beats the A game offense with the B or C game defense. However, you have an A offense with a B+ defense, you might just take out the A defense, C offense.
