#4 + Donyell Marshall + Adrian Griffin (all expiring) for #8, Michael Redd and Dan Gadzuric

My thought process is that you guys dump your salary, clear some clutter. My initial reaction is that it's not nearly enough from Seattle but they are far enough under the cap to do this.

If Mayo is still available I would do that trade,a nd then I would dance the rest of the day.

Depends if Mayo is there, in which case I think I'd do that.

*waits for others here to stone me*

I would do it regardless if they threw in their second rounder. Being able to get a solid player at #4 while getting rid of two large contracts would really start the rebuilding process.

I want Gordon at 8. I see the most superstar potential in him. Call me crazy, but I see a little Wade in Gordon. Sure, he'll struggle his rookie year, but what 8th pick 19 year old rookie is going to come out right away and be a superstar?

He doesn't have Wade's all-around game, and while EG is a good athlete, he's also not on that level athletically.

I see a more athletic Ben Gordon. So a pretty good player.

Ya I just voted Jordan.

I like Westbrook but dont feel like hes a true PG, and hes not a SG so where does that leave him? Even though we have Bogut I feel that Jordan could be a stud and Im not gonna pass up on a 7ft potential stud center with the #8 pick.

He should be ready by 2013.

Throw in Seattle's second and you've got yourself a damn deal.

I'd be happy with Mayo or Bayless at 4.

Hehe well Mo and Redd should be gone by then so he will get to touch the ball then, so perfect timing I guess.

I picked Randolph.

Trade.

Randolph or Arthur would be very intriguing.

I'm on the Alexander bandwagon.( as long as Gordon is gone)

Westbrook is the easy choice for me. We desperately beed an infusion of backcourt defensive talent, plus I like his ability to explode to the hoop and he seems dedicated and coachable. I get the same good feeling this year about Westbrook that I got last year about Horford - another extremely solid, very athletic hard worker that got somewhat overshadowed by a flamboyant/gimmicky teammate (Noah/Love).

Gallinari if he is still there, if not, Westbrook. I wouldn't mind a trade either.

TheGhostDog · Post #35 » by **TheGhostDog** » Wed May 21, 2008 5:54 am

Why isn't Gallinari listed as one of the choices? Love him or hate him, most mocks have him rated somewhere 5-10.

Not sure yet on #8

But give me either Shan Foster, Courtney Lee, or Bill Walker with the #37

He'll probably be gone by the time we pick, but if Gordon goes earlier than 8, then there's a chance Gallinari may drop.

I'm hoping for either Gordon or Westbrook at this point. I could live with Gallinari if they are both gone.

If Gordon is there and you move Redd grab him.

Grab Darrell Arthur as well. And give Kevin some Love as well. He can be very very intriguing and a team player.

He plays slow, but he plays phyisical smart and tough and he is always on winning teams and understands the game.

Bogut Love and Yi would be the smartest frontline in the league but some what soft.

Arthur has really jumped up on my board. And so has Donte' Greene but he is still raw but will wow scouts at the tryouts I bet.

We'll see. But if Gordon is gone, I say move down the line and trade down.
