Nobody in the 8-12 is going to be better than Bargs or Bayless. I'm very sure of that. If it's not a 2012 pick, I don't wanna talk about moving either of them for picks.

I don't think Minny likes that trade. Who are they getting back? Calderon?
To Toronto: Flynn + Rights to #2 (Kanter) - get Flynn and Kanter
To Portland: Barbosa + Kleiza + Rights to #5 (Kemba Walker) - get Barbosa and Walker
To Minnesota: Andre Miller + Nicolas Batum - get vet PG and capable starter in Batum

but what about Kendrick Perkins as a trade target?
reasons: probably Kanter won't fall to us. we get the big bodied center we have wanted next to Bargnani. he really didn't seem to fit with OKC, and might be available.
James and Amir Johnson for Perkins works on the ESPN trade checker. Amir would be able to run the floor with OKC, and James has the length they seem to like and passing skills to run the floor and get the ball to the other scorers while Durant is onthe bench. also, harden seems to be coming into his own so maybe we have to take back a Daequan cook or Nate Robinson, or maybe we find a way to get Sefolosha or something along those lines.
would this be worth it? we should be set for years at the 4/5 with bargs/perk/davis. we draft Walker or Knight. whomever our next coach is hopefully can handle Perk, who seems like he could create some headaches now and again.
next year Harrison Barnes?

Why don't we try to put Bargnani in a position to succeed rather than trade him for 40 cents onthe dollar. at least he isn't tanking and forcing a trade (Vince) and there several years before he walks as a free agent (Bosh). We can't toss aside every player on our team that isn't perfect and well rounded. that is why I think if we lose out on Kanter then Perk is a reasonable target. I don't think we have a realistic shot at Chandler or Gasol. I would be happy with Bynum but how do we get him and still have Bargnani on our team?

As much as i'd like to have Bargs play his natural position...I would much rather have Davis play major minutes next year...hopefully as our day 1 starter... as of right now Demar and Davis are the core pieces of this team...Bargs had his shot...hell he had more than a fair chance to show us what he can (and can't) do...
he doesn't really fit with where this team is going.
Now if we are talking something like Bargs and James Johnson for Perkins (and whatever big contract we need to offset salary) that is something i'd be on board with.

Unless we're saving money immediately while getting a decent prospect (even if packaging him with a player like Bayless) I don't see the point in giving him away. We're in no rush to be really good, so might as well give him one last chance with a new coach. A deal for Splitter will always be available.

You would be saving money.
You'd save 5 mill next year in the splitter deal and 10 mill in 2012/2013/2014
It would allow us to sign a guy to a big contract this year and next year.
In the Korver/Asik deal you save 10 mill in 2012/2013/2014
