I'm starting to like Thabeet more and more too. Besides raw 7'3" power, he does everything we need except for scoring. If Hawes really is going to be our low post scorer in the future, then pairing him up with Thabeet could be worthwhile. Plus, with a significanty larger Thabeet next to him...

The only way I would want to go into the playoffs with this team is if we magically had a beast of a PF. Teams can get by with one weak PF or C, but not both. We would get abused in the playoffs. So the real question to me is as follows. What is more valuable? 1. Getting a draft pick in...

Not really. Williams, Wright and Claxton for Bibby works in the trade checker. Wright is an expiring that we could dump immediately or use for this year. Claxton is a crap contract but is exactly as long as our other crap contracts, so it wouldn't hurt the rebuild. It makes sense from...

I also like Hilton Armstrong. How about Salmons to NOK for Armstrong, Pargo and Robinson. Pargo and Robinson are exprings that can be immediately waived. Salmons would give the Hornets a solid upgrade over Peterson. Their starting 5 would be Paul/Salmons/Peja/West/Chandler. I would ask...

I wouldn't do that exact trade, but something similar. How about: Miller, Artest, Salmons and Douby for Stoudemire, Bell, Banks and Hill We take on the crap conract of Banks but we get the PF of our future. Amare starts at C for now, but moves over to PF when Hawes puts on...

So could we target Atlanta's draft pick? Bibby for expirings + pick? No youth included.

Agreed. Artest + Thomas to NY for Lee + Curry + Chandler + Jones + (#1 pick maybe) Trade works: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=25~849~3194~990~1718~2772&teams=18~18~23~23~23~23&te=&cash= Taking on Curry's salary would seem like a big mistake at first...

I woulda gone with Bloodsport for Van Damme.

Why didn't you bold Roger Clemens? He is the most important one on that list being that he is the only one that was a first ballot hall of famer.

Is there a single MLE that has ever helped any team become a contending team? I don't think so and I would love to be proved wrong. Irregardless, it is still important to sign MLE guys. You can't just have superstars at every position including the bench. It isn't realistic. You need the glue...

Tarence Kinsey? You could have done better than that. :p I fail to see your point. Kinsey is putting up similar FG and 3PT percentages to Salmons, but he is only scoring 4 PPG this year. Salmons is at 15.5 PPG, and apparantly rising. Kinsey rebounds less, assists much less, steals and blocks...

Reading what you say makes me think that we just signed Salmons yesterday or something. We signed him right after Bonzi declined the generous offer we made to him. Apparantly, Petrie wanted to have another SG/SF swingman on the team. Just because Bonzi didn't sign doesn't mean he should have...

Salmons may be overrated by some, but he is underrated by others. And IMO, Salmons is not even comparable to Evans and Songalia. Salmons >>>>>>> Evans and Songalia.......combined. Evans and Songalia were limited role players that found their very specific niche on the team. Evans could drive...
