Even if both of Greg Oden's legs fall of in camp next season..... That's a delicious starting 5 next year. Perfect mix of youth and vets. Wankstain would only need to find a couple of good role players and we're in business. BIG business.
When healthy I like what our rotation is shaping up to be: Starters: Miller Roy Batum Aldridge Oden Short rotation: Camby ?? ?? Deep Bench: Patty Mills Cunningham Pendergraph I like our starting unit a lot. I like our 3-man bigs rotation. I like the deep bench rookies for development. What I don't like: Backup point guard. We need a good backup point guard. Bayless is a combo guard. Backup Shooting guard. Rudy wants to leave. We need a replacement. Backup Small Forward. I would like to upgrade on Martell if possible. It would also be nice to get another backup big. And with Miller and Greg, our new perimeter guys need to be shooters for spacing. So, with our picks, Euros, Joel, Rudy, Webster, and Bayless as assets can we turn some of that into a good backup point; and either a good backup SG (if Bayless goes) or wing (if Martell goes)?
I would like one back-up PG (or PGOTF), and one primary reserve 2/3. I dream of trading Rudy/Joel for Collison/Posey to fill one hole, and turning Webster/Bayless into Maggette (conscience-less scorer, attacks the rim) to fill the second. True, he doesn't shoot from deep, but a too-perfect fit wouldn't be available.
Maggette isn't a bad idea. He's just like Andre Miller--nothing too spectacular, but a guy who absolutely kills our team when he plays us. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
