Battier, I think we had a small Trade Exemption from the Tsakalidis trade Sura's contract is expiring for 3.84 million, although only 1 million is garunteed. After that the next best trade asset is V-span, Head and Snyder, and none of them will net much in a trade.
Luther Head, Sura's contract, Juwan Howard, and our draft choices. I'd send them all along with ole what's his name "Shooter" to Seattle for Rashard. Then hopefully Francis gets bought out and we could bring him back with the MLE. Snyder is trade bait too. JLIII too. 111, Battier, Deke, and VSpan are the only untouchables for me. We need to re-sign Deke for another year.
i think we have to package yao or tmac with some of our role players to trade for 3 starters it will be tmac/battier/?/?/? or yao/battier/?/?/?
Sura -essentially a trade 3mil for 1mil salary dump The who wants them list: Snyder Lucas -Bobcats need guards, have excess PF's maybe Walter Herrmann? JHo -Maybe Chi, they like their vet PF's, and he's a hometown hero. S&T: Deke Jake -there's bound to be takers for centers.
Yao, T-Mac, and Battier are untouchable for me. Everything else is fair game as long as its a good trade. I'm hoping we can dump JHo and clear up cap space for a good, young starting PF. JHo did a decent job for us, but just not enough to justify the cap space he's taking up. Resign Deke to back up Yao. Keep Hayes to backup the new PF. Battier and T-Mac stay in their respective positions, and we bring in Francis to share time with Alston and be the 3rd scoring threat. So we have Yao, new PF, Battier, T-Mac, Francis/Alston. On the bench we would have Deke, Hayes, Head, V-Span. I think Snyder and JLIII should go. Snyder's decent, but we should use both of them to get something better. We also need a better offense . . . so JVG will most likely have to go.
I think the league will realized that our young players all got values, JVG just don't know how to harvest them. Take a look at nacbar with the Nets. Tmac and Yao are both untradeable, however, tmac is more tradeable than Yao should one needs to go. I don't think Battier will be traded unless something really good come up. rest are all good to go.
imo, 1. we sure need some change on this team. say bye to jvg and bonzi(btw,bonzi lazy a$$ wells sucks.) 2. batman, yao and tmac are untouchable. 3. hayes back to backup pf. 4. develop span and novak, at least give them a chance to show what they got..i expect 7-15mins/g from them.. 5.trade jho,snyder,alston,jl3,sura,big jake (or even throw in head if needed)for pg and pf 6. resign deke for another year maybe?? 7. will add some talented young players from draft(Center?)
