Admin Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Remember when the T-Wolves helped us out cap wise by trading us Terrell Brandon years ago? Well how about we return the favor and send them Speedy in return for Marko Jaric. Now I realize that he isn't a great player, but without losing a single piece to the current roster and adding a very tall defensively talented PG that shoots fairly well from 3 could be a very good move for us. Jaric would take over for AJ in the starting lineup and we wouldn't have anyone under 6'7 in the starting lineup which would complete our ability to play our switching style of D that we run. Jaric/AJ/Acie/Lue JJ/West/Salim Marvin/Chillz Smoove/Shelden/Solo Al/Zaza/Lo Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Is Speedy retiring? I knew he was considering it, but I haven't heard. I really think Jaric is more of a two than a one, however, if Speedy is not retiring, I think Jaric is a better option over the next few years than Speedy. If Speedy is retiring, I'd just assume keep that cap room to re-sign the Joshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted January 27, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 They changed the rules re: trading retiring players specifically BECAUSE of the move BK made to land Brandon (that and the Mashburn deal). Speedy would count vs. the Wolves' cap even if he retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marko is a good player who hasn't display all of his talents and hasn't been realy consistent... However, I think he would fit Hawks very well...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Jaric's stat line tonight vs the Nets: 22 minutes 0 - 6 FG 0 - 2 3FG 2 rebs 3 asst 4 fouls 0 points Just another scrub that the Squawk feens over. But hey, at least they beat Jersey ( who had a bigger collapse than we did ). Hawks still in 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 From Realgm deal with NJ. Makes some sense. We should make a trade with the Nets Shelden & Zaza for Magloire, Nacbar & Marcus Williams. There is the problem of Mag being in his last year of his contract, but the way he's played he shouldn't be getting any huge deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
