    I still wouldn't trade Rudy unless he REALLY doesn't want to be here.

    Put that 'imaginary cap space' to good use!

    Not really. If you think about it, what's your real goal for Batum? IMO, if he turns out as good as Wallace, we would be extremely fortunate. So when it comes to making the decision, if that is what it would take, that is a no brainer. Pull the trigger.

    We wouldn't need to trade RLEC. Wallace could fit without taking much back if they were looking to move salary just. I can't see that being the case, but who knows. I would like Wallace, but I'm not going to get super excited about us inquiring baout him, if the price previously was Batum.

    Re: Quick on 1080(take it for w/e it's worth)

    I'd have to think long and heard about trading Rudy in a deal for Crash. Would much rather trade Outlaw, Blake, Webster, and all the cash Bob Johnson desires ($3 mil, max).

    Re: David Lee

    Hmm. Blazers making a push for Wallace.

    Joel and Travis? for GW

    Then get Lee in a S&T for Blake and cash


    Run Rudy, Roy and Bayless at the point for a year to see if it can work.

    Re: Quick on 1080(take it for w/e it's worth)

    I wouldn't mind trading Rudy in a deal to get him. But we need to keep Nic if Rudy goes. Nic can play some 2.

    Does Rudy and Travis work for Wallace?

    Re: David Lee

    if we sign Lee.. I would think that Joel would be included in a package. Cause it would be pointless to have 4 people man that two positions making that much money.

    Re: Quick on 1080(take it for w/e it's worth)

    I'd really hate to lose Batum, but I just might pull the trigger on it. 50/50 right now.

    Batum is such a good defender it's just hard to lose that. And as a rookie, wasn't half bad at all last year.

    Ughh

    Batum is more valuable than Rudy IMO since we're going to have to get past Kobe and LeBronze if we want to win rings.

    We have cap space. We can absorb. We're all good.

    In fact we could potentially send just Rudy to Charlotte for Crash.

    Say it will take Rudy and Batum for Gerald, what would it take to get Charlotte to add Gerald Henderson?
