15 posts per page and some 110 pages means that this thread now has something around 1600 posts. This has got to me one of the longest threads in RealGM history.

And Howard is still a Magician!

Give them Nelson/JRich/Anderson/Orton/2 or more firsts for Monta/Beidrins. That's one of the only trades I would give up Ryno. They would be ecstatic to run with Ryan and Lee at the 4 and 5 spots. They would have balanced scoring 1 - 5.

On the Anderson argument, people are way under valuing and under appreciating his abilities. Everyone says he only does well with Howard but he does just fine with D12 on the bench. Also, if we did trade for Lopez or Bynum then Ryan would get the same number of open 3 pt looks, if not more, because as most people say, Bynum and Lopez have better offensive moves and are better players on the offensive end thus giving Ryan his shots...right???

If the above mentioned trades go down would this lineup keep Howard for sure???

Monta/Duhon/Ish
Ariza/JJ/Liggins
Jackson/Wafer/Q
BBD/Clark/Harper
Howard/Beidrins


thats way to much for monta ellis, ariza should not start at sg hes definitely a small forward, wafer is not a sf and will not get minutes there, how do we get jackson and ariza?


Ariza and Monta came in a discussed 3 team trade. Jackson came in a trade for Hedo in this scenario.

I will give u Ariza shouldnt start at SG. I just like JJ coming off the bench for that spark...just flip flop Ariza and Wafer.

SG: JJ/Wafer
SF: Jackson/Ariza

I don't think Nelson/JRich/Ryan/picks is too much for Monta. No idea why GSW would want Kaman in some proposed trades on here. Putting Lee at the 5 and Ryan at the 4 would work for them. Curry dishing to JRich/Wright/Ryno/Lee. Like i said earlier, GSW could rebuild around Curry & Anderson. Monta will be getting a MAX deal after next season and no way they pay that.

Barkley just said that GSW need to get Thompson in the starting lineup because Steph & Monta can't play together. Maybe GSW are starting to feel the same way?

Can't see them wanting J Rich tho if they play on getting Thompson in the lineup.

Maybe they make J-Rich the sixth man or something?

I think what Charles meant was that GS needs a 2-guard that can play off-ball and complement Curry better than Monta. Since Klay Thompson is already there, he'll be the obvious choice. I can still see GS wanting a vet. 2-guard in any trade involving Monta.

J-Rich needs to kick rocks.....Too inconsistent and virtually brings nothing to the table that Redick can't emulate

I sure hope so. I really think either JRich or JJ would do very very well next to Steph.

I think J-Rich or JJ, 2 proven guys in the league, would be more coveted for them to start next to Curry than the rookie. However, ultimately, what GS wants is a legit center. If we can get them that from a third team, it would make life a lot easier. Trouble is that so few teams have a center they are willing to part with.

Yup and the only SEMI REALISTIC centers we could try to get them would be Kaman, Darko (because the way Pekovic has been playing), Varejao (would have to get the cavs young talent or draft picks back because they are extremely high on Andy), or Al Jefferson.
