Re-signing Peja and/or Bonzi?

[BMiller52]

Brick in the deal with indy we lose, esp since bonzi's expiring and those guys are expiring and all we'd basically get is their pick for bonzi. Atleast we do IMO anyways.

Two questions: Could we get Arroyo in the Detroit deal? And does Fred Jones play point guard?

Not quite sure I'd want Arroyo and Fred Jones does not play the point. He's a 6'4" SG who is about as athletic as they come. He can leap with the best of them and his defense is not bad at all. If the Kings end up being sold on Martin as the starting future SG then Fred Jones would be an ideal backkup and spark coming off the bench.

We need supersatars. Do not resign either and lets truely rebuild.

I'm with you, but who and how?

SKFFL - If you have about a week, check out the trades thread. There are some really interesting possibilities in there. Of course you also have to wade through the "Let's trade Peja, Thomas and Skinner for Kevin Garnett" stuff...

Put me in the dubious camp about re-signing Bonzi. I like the way he's played this season. But... he's 29, he's in his peak now, and I think people might overestimate his effectiveness this season. Intangibles, rebounding, effort, clutch... all there, all exciting. And since those qualities are so lacking on this current group it makes Bonzi look great -- he's a breath of fresh air even. But his defense has been middling, his offense inconsistent. He's been a career head-case who just happens to be having a banner season and has been a model citizen -- but of course he is, it's a contract year.

As for Peja, all for the right price. There is a dearth of outside shooting in the league, and it's a hot commodity for a reason. Even if Peja doesn't score a single point he is someone that is always in the head of his opponents and he opens up the floor for everyone else. Teams help and double-team and rotate at their peril. Even if it's the only thing Peja's good at, outside shooting is a skill that is vastly underappreciated on this board, in my opinion. But it's only really going to work out if Peja is going to be surrounded by athletes who mask Peja's deficiencies and can help guard some of the small-forward superstars.
