Crazy Idea... throw 2010 into the wind
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 8:05 pm
Ok so I was thinking, are our hopes on 2010 still there? Why? We won't have enough to offer another max contract it looks like. And I dont know who is going to help us with sending us someone who they think would help Lebron win a championship so why not use those who are not going for 2010 and have been willing to speak to us about trades and try and use this 2010 to our advantage and with the contracts available work for 2011 or 2012? I also thought about opening it up for Lebron again and getting a bit more offensive with the players with people who could definately help Lebron more and also be able to benefit playing with him. So...
Tried to work with some rumors and what people were putting on a couple boards:
1st
Delonte West(500,000 buy out at the end of the season)
JJ Hickson
Zydrunas Ilgauskas(likely bought out and sign with Cavs)
1st rd pick
Possibly Cash
for
Monte Ellis
Vladimir Radmonovic
why? Monte Ellis though small definately would help penetrate and dish and take scoring load off of Lebron while also getting a lot of shots for the perimeter players(~4asts). The thing that Brown would love most is the 2 steals he gets a game, so when he learns the system and starts playing passing lanes better imagine how easily his quickness and steals would come. Vlad spreads the court that much more and if Shaq is kept could start in a lot of situations especially playing in a lineup with Lebron. GS wanted Delonte before and if he doesnt work out half a million dollar buy out at the end of the season. Z doesnt fit but getting out of the long term deals does. Only JJ is left the long term and JJ could show a lot for Nellie and possibly put pressure on Randolph to mature faster being they are close in age.
2nd
S&T Wally
Danny Green
Darnell Jackson or Leon Powe
Rights to Christian Eyenga
Future 2nd
and/or Cash
for
Chris Kaman
Why? We have been rumored to be hot for Kaman for the longest and I think Clips wanted to see if they could sniff the playoffs before they actually start listening to offers. I dont see them getting in. With this deal they get more depth and the capability to definately offer a max deal. I know GS didnt want the cap relief in a Wally deal but Clips may do this for the 2010 possibilty of landing someone big. We may have to give more but I think this would be close. Kaman can score in low post and high post and is capable of grabbing close to double digit rebounds. And can block over 2 shots a game.
3rd(maybe the most questionable)
Shaquille Oneal
Jawad Williams
for
Troy Murphy
Mike Dunlevy
1st rd Pick
2nd rd pick
cash
Why? We get one of the best double-double guys as well as top5 3pt shooter from the 4 spot. Right now we can get him for an expiring alone and I debated between going for AK instead but we can get back in the draft by getting a 1st and 2nd for taking Dunlevy as well giving us even more expirings for next season. We may be able to get more from them but I was thinking this was a pretty decent deal in my eyes. To finish with a pretty good lineup with depth to compete and do very well.
4th
Sign Antonio Daniels
Sign Zydrunas Ilgauskas after the 30 days
lineup
Mo Williams/Boobie Gibson/ Antonio Daniels
Monte Ellis/ Anthony Parker/ Coby Karl
Lebron James/ Jamarion Moon/ Mike Dunlevy
Troy Murphy/ Vladimir Radmonovic/ Leon Powe
Chris Kaman/ Anderson Varajao/ Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Yes I know I put Z in the back but I think he mentors Kaman and Murphy more to get them on point in the system. But I think this team becomes a problem for almost every team in the league and is still so deep. I know it may be too much or some deals may not make as much sense but I like this team and would compete with this team. It may not be DWest or Bosh but our chances of getting those guys are really tough but I think this is something that we can be a top team if not the top team in the league not just the East. This has to be the best rebounding strarting lineup also. No 2nd chances.
