puttin some fire under their asses maybe?
Realistically what trades are out there that would benefit us? Not many that are even possible.
Upgrade via Pau?
What can you get that is better?
Dirk - no happenening
Dwight - not this year and not for Pau
Bogut - maybe but Mil isn't trading him
Upgrade via Bynum?
Basically the same list and result
Ron + Assets?
Who is gong to take them and for what?
LO might be able to get us something, but he's the only other guy besides Kobe keeping this thing running, and he's just too valuable to us considering how he's playing and his knowledge of the tri and his locker room value.
Brown and assets?
Maybe but for what?
Some possibilities I'd consider but are highly unlikely:
Pau/Artest/Rooks for Billups/Mello
not ideal but it would be fun. Motivated Mello can defend pretty damn well and it would make us harder to guard. Billups would fit the tri nicely.
Pau or Drew or LO and Artest for Mello/Nene
unlikely but keeps size depth and gets Mello
same deal for CP3 and Okafor
Makes our SF a little thin, though I'd be ok with Barnes starting and developing ebanks. This would be fun.
same deal for Deron and Millsap/AJ
Similar, would be fun. Deron + Kobe = competitive fire
Pau for Bogut
Similar skillsets, Bogut a little more limited offensively though not much, but a much tougher better defender and rebounder. I think him and Drew down low would be a load, he's a really good passer and smart to pick up the tri fast.
Brown, Artest, and the rooks for Prince and TMac
Both of those guys would fit nicely, Prince would be a great SF for us, shoots it well, defends, rebounds and can create/move the ball. TMac as well, yeah he's old but he's playing well and would be a better fit then Brown imo. He actually passes and creates and I just have a feeling he'd play his ass off come playoff time.
Pau + assets for ZBo and Mayo? lol the return to Memphis? Pau lets his bro bang while he does the finesse work? lol
These are all highly highly unlikely and debatable if they even help us in some cases.
Wtf else is out there? I just don't see any more moves.
We do have that trade exemption, I just don't see what he'd actually be looking at in a realistic term.
