coachx Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 The trades are all contingent on what we would have to give up. It would be nice to have 2 options for players For instance: Gasol by trading Marvin Gasol be trading Smoove M Miller by trading Marvin M Miller by trading Chills Dalembert by trading Marvin Dalembert by trading Smoove A. Miller for Chills A. Miller for Marvin Curry for Lue, Sheldon , ZaZa Curry for AJ, Sheldon ,ZaZa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnakinJoe Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Replace Woody with Drew now and hire Genrty in summer. Trade for Gadzuric/Villanueva to address interior defense and shooter issue Trade for Chris Duhon and resign him in summer to 4-year deal (good complement to Acie) Avoid anymore "projects" for the next 2 seasons. Sign Jarvis Hayes to replace Chill in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 The problem with many of these options is that they really aren't options right now but will be in the offseason. For example i doubt we can trade for Diop but we might be able to sign him as a free agent this summer. As far as firing Woody goes there is no sure thing we can find a decent replacement during the season but we will have plenty of time to look at candidates in the summer.

coachx Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Out of the choices given I would: 1. Keep Woody until the off season. I would hire Del Harris if I had to go in blind. I would interview Fratello, Harris, Gentry, Cooper, Carlisle, Tyrone Corbin, and the guy who coached Barkley's Suns to the Finals. BTW: Ex Hawk, T. Corbin is currently an assistant with Jerry Sloan in Utah. I would push the idea of Mark Jackson as an assistant to each defensive minded candidate to gage their reaction. 2. PGs in order: Hinerich Miller J. Williams D. West b/c he can double as a 3 point shooter Jack Calderon would be #1 but that is too much of a pipe dream to list.I like the idea Miller and Williams as one year rentals forLaw to grow. However, if Hinerich is on the block I jump to get him. Centers in order: Diop Heywood Gradzurich Gasol Dalembert Curry As you can see I prefer the idea of getting a decent defensive center to play a sold 25 minutes a night while keeping the current nucleus vs. trading a young building block. Shooters: M. Miller JJ Redick - Nelson, Turk and Lewis can shoot so Reddick waste away on the bench. Jarvis Hayse (they want another big / Sheldon or ZaZa for Hayse ?) Dountthey trade him. They just traded ZaZa for 2 stiffs who can't play. Would they get snake bitten a third time by taking ZaZa? Kapono would be great but the Raps just over paid to sign him away from the Heat. I doubt they trade him now. In order of importance to me: PG Shooter Center Certain PGs could solve 2 of the 3 holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I agree. Having said that, my choices were: - Laimbeer: His WNBA team Detroit Shock, has pretty much embodied what he was as an NBA player. Tough. Fearless. Kind of cocky. But even in that league, Laimbeer has the luxury of having a dominant post player ( Cheryl Ford - Karl Malone's daughter ), a versatile wing ( Swin Cash ), and a guard wh can create her own shot at any time ( Deanna Nolan ). He and Rick Mahorn did a great job with those women. Maybe he can help Smoove, Marvin, Zaza and Shelden become tougher. - Curry: I'd rather have Gasol, but I think most would pick either him or Daly, so I wanted to be different. I'd ship out Shelden + expirings or Shelden + Chill for Curry in a heartbeat. And I'd bring Curry off the bench, and let him be the offensive option with the 2nd unit or while JJ is resting. During crunch time, Horford would still be my center. Horford would get a chance to play the 4 more, with Curry here. - Calderon: obvious - ???: brought up yesterday the name of Cuttino Mobley. He's a guy who isn't a one dimensional offensive player, like a Parker or a Korver. Cuttino can do what they do, plus create his offense off the dribble.

vdunkndunk Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 If we could trade Horford and filler for Gasol, then trade Chill and either Shelden or Zaza for Calderon this offseason, then add some kind of sweet 3-point shooting SF off the bench to replace Chill, I think we'd be a lock for top 4 in the East. The question is: could it be done? Answer: Maybe, but probably not. But could it be done by Bk and the ATL Spirit? Definitely not. My ideal team for next year (within a bit of reason): PG: Jose Calderon / Acie Law SG: Joe Johnson / Salim Stoudamire SF: Marvin Williams / Jason Kapono PF: Josh Smith / Shelden Williams CR: Pau Gasol / Shelden Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh he's definately making too much money ( 9 mill a year, for two more seasons ) My thought process behind a signing like that, is his contract would pretty much equal what Chill and Zaza or Chill and Shelden would be making combined. Money wise, it's almost as big of a risk as adding a Dalembert or a Curry We'd have to throw a big in the deal with Chill, or some of the expirings and Chill, to make the deal work. I think Cuttino would enable us to both spread the floor out more, and give us an extra guy who can create offense off the dribble. With the Clips struggling mightily, I'd love to get either Cuttino or Cassell from them. Shoot, how about a Lue + AJ for Cassell deal, if the Clips want to tank out the rest of the season? I bet Cassell could teach Acie a thing or two about playing PG in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GST Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Fire Woody immediately, give one of the assistants a chance, you never know. Look for an offensive minded coach in the off season. Trade Smoove for a defensive center, move Al to PF. I think this would take this team to another level. Dalembert would be my choice right now. Stand pat on our PG position right now, maybe try to pick up Barea in the off season (no idea if this is feasible). I am still pretty hopeful about Law. Regarding our perimeter shooting, I think Law will be fine, and JJ will return to normal. There is really no way to give a shooting specialist much floor time without parking JJ or Marvin. Probably would hurt more than help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
