Unfortunately, Pacers have a whole slew of injuries. Along with guys being in and out.
Bricklayer said:I've mentioned this before, but now with Bonzi and Ron both on the team we a) have a attitude setting core; b) but we also may have already met our unstable player quota. One more tough guy in the starting lineup would really give us a "flavor", but if said tough guy was nuts, that flavor might be "psycho JailBlazers" rather than just "tough".
Eddie Griffin falls into that same category. Although I might take that chance. Maybe.
SLAB said:Hmmm...
A three way deal that would somehow net us Etan Thomas and Underschieving Antonio Daniels from Washington.
As it stand now, I don't think we have enough to get both of them, but if we could get a third team involved.
I can't for the life of me figure out a three-way deal on RealGM.com, so if someone couldgive me a hand in trying to figure something out...Everyone I tried said "That trade does not exist"
My general idea was something like this.
To Sac...Etan Thomas, Antonio Daniels, and Atlanta's salary filler (Tony Delk?)
To Washinton...Kenny Thomas and Tyronn Lue
To Atlanta...Jason Hart and draft picks.
Sacramento---Gets a banger down low who is underschieing in Washington. Also gets a more than capable backup-PG, who has also been flopping in Washington. However after seeing him with Seattle the other years, he's worth it...The Thomas contracts are pretty similar, so Washington doesnt get scared away by Kenny's.
Washington---Rejuvinates their bench by replacing two underachievers with two players who have been playing relativly well...How will Kenny respond? Who knows, but Tyronn Lue has been pretty good for the Hawks this year.
Atlanta---Gets a backup PG to replace Lue...This PG put up the same type of numbers as Lue with his last bad team, so maybe thats a plus...And draft picks, because this team likes youngins.
New Kings.
PG: Bibby/Daniels/Price
SG: Bonzi/Martin
SF: Artest/Cisco
PF: SAR/E. Thomas/Williamson
C: Miller/ Skinner
Somewhat interesting.Rowdyone said:SAR and Corliss works for E. Thomas and Daniels. Gives us a PF that doesn't intend on scoring...defend and rebound only, plus veteran tall depth at PG. Gives them a hard to move SF in Corliss to backup Caron Butler and a scoring PF in SAR.
KT and Corliss would work too. The thing with Daniels is that he can play both the 1 and the 2 and he is the type of player who can bring a lot of energy off the bench. Thomas doesn't care if he scores and he brings an added measure of defense as well. However, I get the feeling that GP is going to stay pat for the rest of the season and see how this hand plays out.Rowdyone said:SAR and Corliss works for E. Thomas and Daniels.

What do you mean "what was talked about between the Kings/Artest and his agent"?Kings113 said:I don't think GP stays pat becuase of our bench, and because of what was talked about between the Kings/Artest and his agent.

If the Kings were going to go after E. Thomas and Daniels, I would also prefer sending KT instead of SAR. I think SAR fits in better with the Kings, although KT has the edge in both quickness and rebounding ability. I don't know why Washington would do it unless the viewed both E. Thomas and Daniels as bad fits with "bad" contracts. Maybe then they would take one bad contract back in exchange for two. However, in the parts of Wizard games I have seen, it seemed the main complaint of the Wizards was their defense. I don't see how this trade helps them in that regard unless KT's speed athletism would become good fit.Diabeticwonder said:KT and Corliss would work too.

It's possible considering too much change too quickly could cause more problems than it solves. However, I would like to think that management would still try to address the obvious needs that are still there.I get the feeling that GP is going to stay pat for the rest of the season and see how this hand plays out.
One bad contract for another. A change of scenery may change perfomances for the better.I don't know that I'd be willing to give up KT or SAR for Etan, given that he has a bad contract, is already 27, has been injury prone, and hasn't performed well.
I believe Petire told Artest that they would still be bringing in big name players.Diabeticwonder said:What do you mean "what was talked about between the Kings/Artest and his agent"?

Kings113 said:It was the Maloofs/Petrie, I think, and don't think Stevens said that (unless you're talking about something else), but "not going to go into rebuilding mode, and will be dealing still". It was like that, and was a part of that subject during the interview (agreement on coming to Sac).
I can't find a transcript of the interview anywhere.
