I was thinking we should trade and get one of the following players: -Sebastian Telfair -Shaun Livingston -JOSH SMITH My top choice is Josh Smith, as he is just one year out of high school, and is very promising. The Hawks need a mix up badly, so maybe we can trade a good role player such as Luke Walton for him, and start him at point so we have a larger point guard.
Wait...you think Atlanta will give up Josh Smith for Luke Walton? That's just crazy. Anyway, you're not alone. Pretty much every team in the league would like to get their hands on one of those guys...the problem is that each of those guys have been marked "untouchable" by their teams. They are three of the finest young players out there, and none of those three teams would be willing to risk losing them, especially since they don't make a lot of money this early on in their careers.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">trade a good role player such as Luke Walton </div> ^ First I agree that Luke Walton couldn't get any of those players, and aside from that- I don't think we should trade any good experienced role players, that's what we need around Kobe and he know's how to play with Kobe. I think we need a solid player PG like Earl Watson, or Antonio Daniels, Damon Stoudemire (all signed lol) that can run the point and make three's... unfortunately there's none out there at this point
