Seattle 08/09.. how i wish.. 

Post#1 » by alden19 » Wed May 28, 2008 3:47 am

1. Clay Bennett gets screwed and seeya later. Sonics stay in Seattle.
2. New Arena is built
3. Lenny Wilkens replaces Clay MoFo Bennett
4.New coach in D.Casey
5. Coaching staff of Joe Prunty(from Mavs and a friend of Presti from the spurs days)
R.Lewis stays on
D.Schremph to help KD and J.Green
Randy Livingston (Wants to coach now he's retired. He's been back and forth here so why not?)
And some tough defensive coach like.. Mark Aguirre(NYK)?

6.The roster
Pick #4 -O.J Mayo
Pick #24 -A.Ajinca
Pick #32 -K.weaver

trade - D.Marshall(5.9m), J.Petro(1.7m), Pick #46 to Nuggets for M.Camby(8m)

trade - E.Watson(6.2m), D.Wilkins(3.9m) and pick #56 to Mavs for Hometown hero J.Terry.
(I chose Earl to be traded coz who would take L.Ridnour?, seriously with the amount of PG talent Available in the draft, trade and FA)

Re-sign R.Swift to MINIMUM
Sign R.Frahm, P.O'Bryant, W.Conroy, *L.Jackson (Unless we keep A.Griffin whos good for vet presence)

Waive- S.Sene- sorry but seeya latah..

Prospect team

C- M.Camby, A.Ajinca, P.O'Bryant, R.Swift
PF-C.Wilcox, N.Collison
SF-K.Durant, J.Green, L.Jackson/A.Griffin
SG-O.J Mayo, R.Frahm, K.Weaver
PG-J.Terry, L.Ridnour, W.Conroy

man.. how i wish.. but what you's think?

we could even trade Camby later midseason to the Raps for R.Nesterovis and their 09 1st round pick

1. Agree
2. Sure.
3. Wilkens as an owner? I guess. I think Balmer is a better bet.
4. Uh...maybe. I'd give PJ another season.
5. Sure, I'm not too familiar with assisant coaches.
6. That would be fine, although I still think it is unlikely we can get Mayo.

Both of those trades are unlikely. Camby is too good to give up for those players. The guy is a freaking defensive player of the year and has been on All-Defensive teams multiple times. There is no way we're going to get him for a potential backup center, an expiring, and a late 2nd rounder.

Dallas is not going to give up a great sidekick in Terry for a PG when they already have Kidd running the point. He is not enough of a shooter to play SG and would be undersized at the position as well.

I don't really mind the signings. Sene is raw, keep him in D-League if we can.

We need to sign Salim Stoudamire

I'm glad you have your eyes on Camby though. He is by far a better defender than Bowen, Kirilenko, or Battier

...which is why he won't be traded for crumbs.
