Don't Make Me Use The Bat
From the annals of overreaction...
Memphis apparently just lost Darrel Arthur to a torn achilles. I am in a mood to overreact after watching Hickson and Thompson suck it up and our defense get shredded again. Meanwhile our GM may have been permanetly brain damaged by his early exposure to Pete Carril's Princeton high post passing big man offense while in college, and should be introduced at Kings games to the tunes of Glory Days. So...voila:
Sac out:
Thompson
Hickson
Sac IN:
Hibbert
Mem OUT:
Mayo
Mem IN:
Hickson
Ind IN:
Thompson
Mayo
Ind OUT:
Hibbert
Sprinkle in minor contracts to make numbers work as needed, but all guys are oin their rookie deals.
Indiana of course would be the holdup. They have been after Mayo for a year now, but may be slightly reluctant to trade their big shotblocking center. Oddly it seems that the entire rest of the league values those guys and doesn't like to give them away. Anyway, despite being slow and too finessey at times, Hibert is of course the unique entity who can both make Geoff wet with passing ability, and clog the lane at 7'2". Of course since its his last year on his rookie deal, at the end of it we will STILL have to pay a shotblocking center $10mil+, but details. Shortens our rotations, gives us two good defenders in our three bigs. let's us Twin Towers or mighty mite according to need. Fewer guys to have to try to pay. And you get a shotblocking center that even Geoff can see the value of, if only because the guy is smart and can pass and ran Geoff's beloved high school...oops, I mean college offense at G-Town. Downside is that all those 6'9" to 6'11" atheltic guys are now history and Cousins' choices to throw lobs to are now a lumbering giant and a shooting guard sized PF. And of course Cousins now is firmly a PF and has to chase those guys around the perimeter -- the Daly advantage was that he could do that stuff and saved Cousins from bad matchups.
