#12, Brockman, Leuer, SL for #14, Dalembert

[Cooleyo47]

12.2 pts / 11.4 rbs / 2.8 bks per 36 minutes last year with a .551 TS% is a nice addition. He's still plenty good as a big man. Not some all-star caliber guy, but a guy who can guard any center in the league effectively and do the dirty work for you on the boards.

Which is equal to or more than we usually got from Bogut. Good deal... Came away with a legit center and didn't have to give much.

[WEFFPIM]

I...like this...?

[raferfenix]

Are we really planning to keep all of Moute / Sanders / Udoh with Daly?

That's a front court full of guys who can't score.

If we were so inclined, this might set us up to trade for the Warriors pick or something. If they value Moute or want Udoh back, I doubt us packaging the #14 rather than the #12 would make a trade for the #7 so much less likely.

[A Diddy2231]

I can see it now..Ersan signing elsewhere and Gooden getting 30 minutes a night at PF..YUCK!

[Newz]

I don't see why anyone would act like Dalembert isn't valuable when you are trying to win games. If our goal is to go for 45-50 wins, he definitely helps. He's a legit C and a mediocre starter or a very good bench player.

He also means Gooden won't be starting at C and his minutes there should be significantly less in theory. That's obviously huge.

If our front court next year is:

Dalembert / Sanders
Ersan / Udoh
Moute / Tobes

I will actually be pretty excited to watch this team. Especially if Jennings is still at the 1 and we move Ellis while getting a reasonable player at the 2. Dunleavy can still play minutes, I'm fine with that.

[Bernman]

This move certainly doesn't mean they won't still draft a center at 14. Jefferson - Alexander. Jackson - Tobes.

Scary, huh?

This is what I fear.

[LUKE23]

Jennings/Udrih
Ellis/Lamb
Harris/Dunleavy
Ilyasova/Moute
Dalembert/Sanders

I'm down with that.

[europa]

I'm good with Harris/Moute and T.Jones/Dalembert in the frontcourt.

I was thinking (hoping) the same thing.

[ReasonablySober]

I won't be excited to watch them without a franchise player, but I would ditch any thought of the lotto. That frontcourt takes them to the playoffs.

Lets hope Skiles sees it the same way. Gooden should not be on the floor for more than 15 minutes per night. Hell, if he can come in and knock down a few shots in limited playing time, I might actually not hate him.

You forgot Gooden in that rotation chart, and we know how Skiles likes him.

Unless Gooden is moved, I would expect either we don't resign Ersan, or at least one of our front court young guys don't get much clock.

That is, unless we are packaging one of Sanders / Udoh / Moute in another deal.

[Newz]

Jennings/Udrih
Ellis/Lamb or Ross
Dunleavy/Harris
Gooden/Moute
Dalembert/Sanders

I'm down with that.

I think this is far more likely than what you posted.

But I agree I could get behind your idea.

[RiotPunch]

Yup. They will counter this good move with letting Ersan walk and justifying it with the line of: Gooden's offensive prowess will complement Dalembert's defensive style perfectly-- thus replacing what Ersan could have brought.

Jennings / Udrih
Monta / Crawford?
Dunleavy / Tobes
Gooden / Moute / T. Jones
Dalembert / Sanders / Udoh

Something like that is likely, I reckon.

[europa]

Five straight years of a draft deal for Hammond now.

[LUKE23]

I'm trying to erase Gooden from my memory.

[Newz]

I know.

[crkone]

It will be interesting with a Gooden/Dalembert starting front court.
