Give cash(Or Powe or Davis)+60th pick to Seattle for #32 and #46

And then draft

DeVon Hardin

We don't need that many draft picks. We will keep 1 draft pick, at most.

We got 9 sure players to filla 15 slot roster, why can't we use 3 spot to bet on talent?

Pollard, Wallace and House will almost surely leave 3 roster spot to us, gamble on 2 nel Big Men with talent and a shooter will certainly not hurt us... If you need helpin vets you can mede him fill Posey's, Cassell's, Tony's and PJ's spots. The advantage of the C's is that they got3 Sstars that almost made the value of another 5 players team, not big additions needed, just contributor.

I was thinking the exact opposite.

I think we should try and trade up to the late teens early twenties. Using our pick, one of Powe or Baby and our second. Then pick the best C available.

Resign House or another vet PG to compete with Pruitt for the backup PG spot next year.

Hope Posey doesnt opt out. If he does resign him unless he wants Full MLE for more than 3 years.

Resign TA for 2-3 million for the next few years.

Find the best FA C available for money.

Then sign a cheap vet Wing or Rookie FA wing.

Leave the last roster spot open in case of injury or late season signing.

That's another option but all depends over DA talent evaluation... 8) In any case 3 not-guararanteed contrants doesn't hurt us.

Why do you keep bringing up Wallace? We waived the guy in December? :crazy:

I was the one who mentioned Wallace in another thread. Not sure if that's what you meant, but just thought about clearing that up.

About the subject, I think people tend to put too much value on the draft and are too eager to trade players who contribute for the chance to pick a bargain.
