Carl Landry

How about Carl Landry + Cook + 2nd for Foster + 1st Round?

Where do i sign?

Gotta be realistic. Why would the Pacers give up a lottery (likely) 1st for Landry?

However something along the lines of Landry + Cook for Foster + filler would be another good one.

I'm 100% sure that Granger is off limits to anyone from the Pacers POV. I'd LOVE to have him as a #2 option alongside Yao.

^^In NBA 2k9, that's what's happened. Of course, you can do things a lot more easily in that game...

Nah, nothing doing with Foster anymore. He's 32 now and 35 when his contract runs up. More than that, we'd take on over half a mil in guaranteed contract.

tisbee, good points on your first post. Hadn't really been keeping an eye on our positional situation for the next two years (I'm admittedly bad at doing that regularly [outside of shooting down trade propositions] as it's not my job good to know though)

How about Carl Landry for Matt Bonner? Their salaries are nearly identical with Bonner signed for one less year. Both are hustle players but Bonner's range would help Yao so much from being double teamed. San Antonio gets younger and a player with more upside in Landry.

Lol at Bonner for Landry.

No thanks.

Bonner is a taller version of Jon Barry. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, we already have Brian Cook.

Besides, Landry has some ups! Who else on our team attacks the rim like he does (that's not named Von Wafer)?

The last time we had a Matt B. who could shoot three pointers we won our first championship.

Their stats are actually very close this year.

Games played: Bonner 57, Landry 55
Games started: Bonner 44, Landry 0
Minutes played: Bonner 1,361, Landry 1,152
Minutes per game: Bonner 23.9, Landry 20.9

Points per game: Bonner 8.7, Landry 9.2
Rebounds per game: Bonner 4.9, Landry 5.1
Off. Rebounds per game: Bonner 1.3, Landry 2.1
Assists per game: Bonner 1.2, Landry 0.7
Blocks per game: Bonner 0.3, Landry 0.3 (19 vs 17 total blocks)
Steals per game: Bonner 0.6, Landry 0.3
Turnovers per game: Bonner 0.56, Landry 0.91

Field goal%: Bonner 51.6%, Landry 55.9%
Free throw%: Bonner 71.4%, Landry 84.1%
3pt FG%: Bonner 49.2% (92 makes), Landry 50% (1 make)

Carl is the better player but Bonner's range is rare among big men and would be helpful when Yao or Scola or Ron are posting up.

We also won our first championship with a guy named "Carl" coming off the bench at PF.

While I don't think the trade would happen, it's interesting to see Bonner's stats are that good. I had no idea he shot 3's.
