Agreed, foretaz
Let's trade some of those "moveable pieces/contracts in the Philly 3" for some that can help us. Like bundling up Bonzi/KT/Hart/Corliss, maybe Skinner for a awesome 6th man PF/C. Even just Bonzi/KT should net us someone of good caliber. I think with just giving Brad some more rest by trusting a backup Center, he could play better D. Our biggest problem and I think the reason Mike and Brad are not good at D is that they have no backups, at least backups that RA trusts enough to come in for any length of time with the game on the line (ie Skinner at C, or Hart/Price at PG) At any rate Brad is a center piece to our offense and does stuff that Bibby should be doing more of. I'd still suggest moving Brad to PF with SAR backing him up and getting a true big Center who clogs the lane and blocks shots, not just a body like Ostertag but one who is athletic that can be a tenacious shot blocker, rebounder, not worried to much about scoring, but can.
While I like KT, he is too small at PF, and a complainer if you bench him. He doesn't produce off the bench. I think SAR would be o.k. with coming off the bench if needed, eventhough he can and should start. If we do move Brad to PF and get a Center like I described, I think SAR can still be happy.
So it's get a dominant PF/C 6th man off the bench, or get a dominant big starter Center and move Brad to PF and SAR to back Brad up. We definatly have a overabunance of idle bench warmers to work with and get some utility out of the situation we are in. We really aren't that far away.
1-2 players (PF/C backup and backup PG) would do wonders for us and make us a team to be reckoned with. Come on we just need some impact bench guys, that's not too much to ask is it? I know it sucks to lose Bonzi for a backup like I said in a previous post, but if they can contribute and be a 6th man (ie BJ a person that could start on just about any team, but just makes the bench that much stronger kind of guy).
