Trading Wall made a lot of sense in conjunction with my Nene for Bledsoe + Odom idea. Unfortunately, with the Trade Deadline having passed, there is no opportunity to acquire Bledsoe. I'm not sure what other PG's are available that a good enough and young enough to be credible a building block, or at least a stop gap.
Well, i think that maybe, we could find that in this draft, Smart, Williams, Burke and McCollum all look promising. I am not sure if one of those four could prove an up grade or at the very least an equal replacement.
personally i think if we dump NENE, Okafur, Ariza, Jan, and Singleton we would be in good shape
IF we can find suitable young replacements for them get what you can for jan and single ton, and try to find a younger center, porter and webster can make up for ariza, and we need to dump nene jsut because his contract.
I think that piston deal i posted could get us the best return.

1. draft Porter
2. Re-sign Mar tell
3. Sign a combo guard capable of playing the 1/2
4. Trade Okafor or Ariza if you're offered a quality 4 from a team that's looking to create cap space
Time for continuity. The lack of continuity has surely slowed Wall down....lets not put Beal in a similar situation
The reason is that if we stay healthy, at best, we are what we were before, good, play off bound, but not contenders. If we do not do it right now, we will be stuck with a few years of moderate success, and then another rebuild.
