Hear me out on this one, as I know I am reaching a bit.
Trade Kmart and May to the wolves for Blount, Ellington and the Jazz's first round pick which they own (should range from #10-18 depending if they make changes too.)
I have heard they would like to move this pick on several rumor sites. (I know, i know, they're not reliable.) Having those 2 picks in the (likely) 8-18 range for a draft deep in potential big men. Blout fall off at the end of the year and we replace Kmart with a cheaper, younger shooter.
The current mock draft boards include these names in that range: Aldrich, Warren, Patterson, Monroe, Cousins, Brackins, Sanders, & Vesely.
And if we don't have to throw our second rounder in, I would take a flier on that Russian kid Alexet Shved (a 6'6" bean pole of a PG) and stash him overseas for a while.
If (a big IF here) NJ get's the #1 pick(aka John Wall), I think we could convince them to trade us Devein Harris for scraps and more cap room (They want $$ to get two first tier FA's.) We would have a lot with Blount and K9 falling off the books and that could get the kings a defensive minded PG who can grow with this team.
The 10/11 Line-up as I see it:
Harris/Beno/Sergio
Evans/Greene/Ellington
Casspi/Noch/Cisco
Thompson/Cousins or Brackins or Sanders or Patterson/Brockman
Hawes/Aldrich or Pittman or Sanders
That is if we don't find deals for noch or cisco in between time.
Like I said, it is a HUGE reach and a TON of "what-ifs", but I really like the mak-up of that team and there would still be cap room to make moves or sign complimentary players.
(Apologies for the many spelling/grammar errors. I had to knock this out fast.)
