So we have:
PG Conley - Udrih - Calathes
SG Lee - Pondexter - Adams
SF Allen - Carter - Prince
PF Randolph - Leuer - Stokes
C Gasol - Koufos
Ill sign Whiteside and then try to trade Koufos for Tristan Thompson.

Why in the world would you do that.
1 - Koufos is better.
2 - Are you dave joerger?
3 - Koufos (7'0) is a better post defender, has a decent touch around the rim and is a legit backup center. Thompson (6'8) is a tweener, kind of like jj hickson, an athletic rebounder with no offensive game to speak of.
4 - Sure, i'd sign whiteside as well, but he probably won't be able to replace what koufos brings. Unless you know something the rest of the world doesn't.

Because Thompson is better than Koufos, and i belive Koufos is gone next season.
1 - no
2 - no
3 - no/mmmmmmm/sure is legit, but we dont have min to him/i think hes 6´9/6´10, and is going to play next to marc, i love the idea to play a defensive player next to marc.
4 - Whiteside is out, anyways if he had been was to play 8-12 min a game (if need) couse like i said before, Thompson could take some min here. I think Koufos will not be here next season, he deserves/demands more minutes and im not sold on playing him at pf.
5 - i want a pf who can start next year if need.
6 - Thompson > Koufos

Also Koufos for Thompson won't work. Grizz didn't draft Stokes for no reason. Thompson at best could be a career backup who can provide energy off the bench.

I'm not convinced with tony either but he's really the only option. Lee is too small/weak. Carter is too old. Prince has been done for years now. Pondexter is simply a bad defender. Patrick christopher might even be the best defender on the team (considering tony's age), but i doubt he'll get meaningful minutes if he makes the team.
I wholeheartedly agree about thompson.

I think we could start Pondexter over Allen and i dont think Q is a BAD defender. But im ok, for now, if Tony starts.
Stokes is a solid pick, i dont know if he could ever be a starter... if he devolps hes game, defense and jump shot, we dont need Thompson, but i believe Thompson is ready now for solid minutes.
Anyways what do u think is the trade value for Kosta? Because im trying to be realistic, im not trying to trade Koufos for Monroe.
