We want to contend and we still keep enough young pieces.

With an eye towards the future and flexibility in addition to winning the raptors accept

Eh...not sure that team can run the triangle--if you are planning to do that. Your team looks more like a run and gun team to me without consistent outside shooting. Ariza is more of a sf than a sg. You could definitely use a sg or sf, depending on where you play Ariza, that can create his own shot from the perimeter. Good balance of vets and young players though...definitely look for a perimeter player who can create for himself.

[moocow007]

I got the Joe Johnson / Cousins trade...is there another one that needs to be updated on the official trade thread?

[I am Ra]

The New Jersey Nets offer the Minnesota Timberwolves:


Mike Bibby
12th (343rd) pick
12th (344th) pick

For

Eric Bledsoe
Nikola Pekovic
13th (366th) pick

accepted.

We want a vet like Bibby and want to move up for a player.

did you do this one moo?

Brian Shaw would be perfect for that team. And Phil Jackson would be perfect for the Hawks. Seriously, i don't think you have the right personnel to run the triangle.

Thanks. Just added this. No other one's right? Shorty Doo Wop was saying something about the Cavs should have the 317th pick instead of the Jazz but I still show it as a Jazz pick.

Trading my back to back 12th rounders for upcoming pick and 13th rounder.

Trading Omri Casspi for big man. PF or center.

how do i not have outside shooting? i have morrow, mason jr., kidd, walker, and ariza.

Ariza is too streaky and takes too many bad shots in general (as shown by his play last year in Houston)l Walker is a solid shooter no doubt but he can't really take players off the dribble and create for himself; Morrow is a very good shooter, but like Mason, he can't do anything else. You have a solid shooting team, but aside from Kidd, you don't have anybody else who can create shots for other players. (Kidd doesn't really create shots for himself either). Your biggest whole is not having someone who can create shots for himself.

That's why when I was the GM of the Raptors (now I'm the assistant GM of the Hawks because I went on vaca...really last minute), I went with JJ with my first pick and Al Jeff with my second. I was picking between JJ and Iggy for the first slot because both can create shots for themselves and other players...I ended up going with JJ because I thought he would have been a better fit for my team (which would have been similar to the Triangle but a little faster paced after I traded a few players).

You have a solid team, but nothing special in my opinion...if swing a trade to get a perimeter player who can create for himself/his team, then your team would be a lot better. All championship teams have that kind of player (aside from the Pistons)...be it MJ, Kobe, Pierce, Parker, what have you. You need someone who can do the job that those players did in order to win the championship.

Nicely rounded team. Great shooting, great inside presence with Howard, nice inside out game with DH and AJ or DH and Frye. Rush and Babbit are great pickups...both have great games. Nothing spectacular from either of them, but both will be good role players. I also love having TD back up Billups. Coming out of college I felt that TD's highest potential was a smaller Billups...not a true point guard, but someone who can set up the offense and get the job done. Very nice team...very well put together.
