Now that we have heard some good news with the court ruling what does everybody think the deal will be with Al. Which team and for who/what do we trade harrington for?

I would like to pry ellis and an unprotected first from GS!

What does everybody think will happen?

Well here is our cap situation:

1. JJ - $12.75M

2. Al (still has a caphold) - $10.46 M

3. Speedy - $6.25 M

4. Marvin - $4.17M

5. Zaza - $4.00M

6. Lue - $3.50M

7. Childress - $2.86M

8. Shelden - $2.46M

9. Smith - $1.46M

10. Edwards - $1.08M

11. Stoudamire - $0.75M

12. Batista - $0.75 M

13. Ivey - $0.75 M

Total as of right now - $51.24 M

The Cap has yet to be released, I am hearing that it should be out sometime between now and tomorrow morning. So until then, we are not sure as to exactly how much money we can take back for Al and how much we could potential spend on other free agents. But I would expect us to be able to take back somewhere between $10 M and $12 M for Al straight up. Of course adding in other players would increase how much we could take back.

Since when do we have enough guards? We have Claxton and Lue at PG...that ain't what I call a playoff looking pair of PG's. We have JJ at 2...who else? Salim is a situational shooter who will play 2 but doesn't defend worth crap and is undersized for a SG.

We need guards. I know BK gets a Woody everytime he sees a forward but I'm ready for some backcourt depth. And Ellis is what I'm looking for.

I don't know if all the contract lengths fit within the Judge's 4 yr plan, because I don't think we can trust HoopsHype contract info. They say we only have JJ for next season.

Nonetheless, I proposed a trade on Real GM (#3265619), which was accepted.

Before you Marvin lovers have a cow, as Al doesn't show up on our roster, I had to substitute Marvin & Zaza in place of Al.

Atlanta

Trades: Al & Lue

Receives: Magloire & Mo Williams

Golden State

Trades: Murphy, Pietrus & Taft

Receives: Al & Lue

Milwaukee

Trades: Magloire & Mo Williams

Receives: Foster & Tinsley (plus maybe a draft pick from Indiana)

Indiana

Trades: Foster & Tinsley

Receives: Murphy, Pietrus & Taft

(Salary cap fodder added as needed to balance trade.)

What do you think?

I know this isn't popular, but I would love to get Pietrus here. I think his upside could be tremendous. And if we are looking to take on a contract, we could do way worse than Murphy.

I'm just sayin'. I really like Pietrus.

But do you think he would ever play in front of JJ or Josh Smith/Marvin Williams?

I think we need more than a good backup swingman for Al.

It's only 8 players, not 16.... lol.

====================================

GS Gives (18.17 mil)

Troy Murphy

Andris Biedrins

Adonal Foyle

GS Gets (18-something mil)

Al Harrington

John Edwards

Jonathan Bender (7.8 mil sal slot comes off in 07)

ANALYSIS: GS gets their man Harrington, and takes advantage of the opportunity to rid itself of a bad 4 year contract (Foyle) for a bad 1 year contract (Bender), and essentially handing the starting C job to their #1 draft pick.

===================================

IND Gives (17.0 mil)

Sarunas Jasikevicius

Jeff Foster

Jonathan Bender

IND Gets (16.4 mil)

Troy Murphy

Adonal Foyle

ANALYSIS: IND acquires an offensive/defensive combo to inject into their frontcourt rotation with O'Neal and Granger.

===================================

ATL Gives (11.something mil)

Al Harrington

John Edwards

ATL Gets (11.2 mil)

Sarunas Jasikevicius (2 yrs remain)

Jeff Foster (3 yrs remain)

Andris Biedrins (4 yrs remain)

ANALYSIS: Billy Knight gets the taller combo guard with legitimate PG skills that he sought earlier, plus the two bigs to help ZaZa down low.

NY trades Crawford and Butler for Al.

We get another guard and a young big. Rounds out our roster.


I like this one!


I pretty much like this one too. The danger with the Hawks(as I see it) early in the year is to again get hurt in the paint. A starting lineup of any 3 of ZZ, MW, JS and Shelden is awefully young and likely won't get many calls. Shelden will have to learn which players he can go for blocks against and which ones get automatic calls. I think we need another big. Batista can be our desparation backup.

(no particular starting order here - whoever is playing best)

3 - MW/JS/JC

4 - Shelden/JS/MW

5 - Zaza/???/Batista
