We're both over the salary cap for a long time... we both have the talent to make a run at a lower seed in the playoffs enough so that we don't even get to hope for a good ping pong ball drop.... We both have limited pieces to trade to anyone with any hope of improvement in the future...
So I guess I'll try a position by position analysis.
So what we're left with....
Point Guard - A great point guard who scores in bunches arguably not a
distributer or a good defender
Shooting Guard - A shoot first two guard who is athletic but streaky
Small Forward - A guy with intense potential who can score in
bunches. You trade away other talented players to make
the situation right for this guy. He doesn't rebound or
defend, he shoots, he scores. Other teams want to
acquire him for his talent. He is not a winner. You wind
up like Miluakee when you trade away guys to make him happy. You
wind up like the Knicks when you trade guys to acquire him.
Power Forward - A collection of undersized undertalented power forwards
with large long contracts (note at least Sweetney is young
and has some potential and Kurt Thomas has some talent
although still undersized and over paid. The knick's are
better than us at the four)
Center - Here's the big difference maker between us and the Knicks!
Hooray. We have a solid center while they have none. I know
that I go to sleep tonight being happy that the only difference
between us and the knicks is Brad Miller....
