    I would've done it before the season, but right now I'm impressed with Mobley's attitude. He seems to be willing to take a step back, and help the team in other areas.


    I really like the first one though. The question is, would they consider it?

    Yao/Cato
    Griffin/Mo
    Harpring/A Griffin/Boki
    JJ/Pike
    Francis/Moochie/Wilks


    If Mo can bring back his consistent scoring ability, then I would definitely make the Mobley for Harpring trade. I think we're more than covered at the SG position with JJ and Pike, as well as Francis, able to play the position. Harpring is a SF with GOOD size, and he would give us a HIGHLY efficient frontcourt with both him and Mo easily able to hit around 50% of their shots.

    Hurt. Be very careful of players that suddenly play better when going to Utah. In fact be wary of any player that does well in Utah. Did you not learn your lesson from Shandon Anderson?
