That deal assumes we are content with Boris as our 4, which I am not. Tyrus may not be our answer as a starter there, but he brings more impact per minute than Diaw.
I'm more interested in trading Jax and Hendo to the Kings for Thompson, Garcia and a pick. Then, deal Diaw and Diop to New Orleans for Peja and Thornton.
PG - DJ, Livingston, Tank
SG - Thornton, Garcia, Carroll
SF - Wallace, UPS, Peja
PF - Tyrus, UPS/Thompson, Najera
C - Thompson, Nazr, Kwame
Very athletic team with some intensity. I believe Thompson is a solid player and needs a new team/coach to get the best out of him. The Kings are a mess. Cousins is creating issues, but he and Evans are their future. Both Thompson and Thornton are on Stein's list of 5 available players (as is Jax). I believe Jason can play the 5 effectively. This gives us a solid 9 man rotation, w/UPS backing up Crash and sliding to the 4, plus Thompson starting the 5 and adding minutes at the 4 as necessary.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
