Roster Trade Ideas? 

Post#1 » by the_bruce » Fri Jun 26, 2009 2:06 pm

Anyone have ideas to enhance our roster.

PG: Rubio / Flynn / Telfair / Brown
SG: Brewer / Ellington /
SF: Gomes
PF: Love / Smith / Songaila / Cardinal / Madsen
C: Jefferson / Thomas / Pecherov

Our biggest hole is still imo the hybrid 3/4. Earl Clark would have been great for us. I'm in agony. I'm actually hoping we work a retrade with phx. If they can send amare + whatever for Curry + x. Send Flynn to PHX for Clark + minor incentive?!? Then I'd be more than happy with the draft results. It would be a crazy good rebuild effort for PHX. At this point I think MN would need to send incentive to get anything done. sigh.

I like flynn a lot he was #3 on my board, but I think the FO should have went Curry and done a trade with a lower spot for clark or williams + incentive. Curry to nyk, nj, etc. It doesn't look like the FO was prepared for this contingency imo. The main problem is drafting flynn backs the team into a corner, while drafting Curry puts the team in a position of a sensible trade because curry is so lights out as a shooter and at least appears to be a better fit with rubio.

I can't even begin to sort out this roster for potential better fits.

Smith for something?
Gomes for something?
Thomas for something?
Bassy + Songalia for Tinsley in a few months?

As long as we bring in someone to play PG I'm all for any trades...

With Rubio in tow, I'd probably be open to trading for Josh Smith now...

Rubio lobbing an alley to Carney would be good. Rubio lobbing an alley to Smith would be insane!
