An idea I came up with that may work for all involved is a 3 team trade with Houston and Charlotte. You send us Marco Bellineli, Houston sends you Corey Brewer and the 43rd pick, and we send Houston Spencer Hawes. What do you guys think?
I think I'm one of the few fans of Corey Brewer but I would have to agree that I don't think he's a great fit here. We need capable defenders that can shoot on the wing.
Okay, I've got another idea. You guys don't really need Koufos, so he seems like an obvious trade candidate for a 3 and D wing. Courtney Lee is an unrestricted free agent, so he can go wherever he wants. But I don't think it's farfetched that he would be interested in signing with you guys now that you have his old coach. Since he's unrestricted it would have to be a sign and trade. But the benefit for you guys is that you would replace Koufos' contract with Lee's and have more cap space left over to either pay Rondo or go after a better power forward.
I do like Courtney Lee and really hope he signs here, that's a guy I really want, but unrestricted means we can sign him outright without a sign and trade so unless we just didn't want Koufos on the books there would be no need to do that. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I totally could be, but I think with UFA isn't there a time period before they can be traded after they're signed so it wouldn't be able to happen anyway? Not 100% on how all that works though. Koufos is definitely expendable in my opinion though.
Jeremy Lin, on the other hand, I would be interested in for a sign and trade with Koufos.
