1) We can spend the rest of the season "showcasing" the guys who need to go. If we force fed Curry 20 shots a game some team desperate for low post scoring would take him off our hands -- might even give us a 1st rounder or a decent young prospect. IF you're in the camp who believes Randolph has to go then fine -- we showcase him. Same idea. Someone will bite.
2) Play the young guys. Find out who is worth keeping so we can go into the summer with a realistic idea of what the team needs are.
3) Sit Marbury, Q, Rose, etc. We're stuck with Q so might as well try to let him get healthy for next season. Marbury & Rose are just fodder for a trade or, if nothing good is offered, we just let them expire and start planning for some cap space in 2010/11.
4) Resign Artest to a reasonable contract with a team option in the middle of the contract as an insurance policy.
5) This is a draft where we might be able to land a guy who we can really build around. I believe we have quite a few guys who could excel if they were playing with a guy who could carry a team and step up as a franchise player. Even guys like Curry & Crawford could be good role players. Lee is the ultimate supporting cast guy. We'd be in pretty good shape for the future.
Great post.
I think we can actually get something for Marbury . Marbs will be an expiring next year so teams with injured or PG's that arent working might be interested . We just want to make sure Isiah doesn't trade for a longer deal.
