    Well, to have a chance for a championship, you need to get as far as those teams did.

    If we wanted to add a shit-ton of defense (this would be high risk)

    Mo/Wright/Freeland/Leonard/Barton

    for

    Chandler/Shumpert/Udrih

    It would be a chemistry gamble certainly. But adds a lot of defense/athleticism. We would really need to believe in Chandler's health and CJ's ability to play the Mo role now. Also, it might put us in a position to give Claver some minutes at backup 3/4, not sure if we trust him now.

    This is pretty far from a typical team though

    Chandler would be a great pickup but he's so damned expensive that I would not gut the bench to acquire him at this point. He didn't have an impact against us last time we beat them in NY when he played a full game.

    Typical D 'Antoni Suns team.

    Terry Stotts would argue this point. We don't run the 7 sec offense under Stotts and never have.

    Also, our 4th qtr defense is way better than anything D'Antoni ever put on the court

    If you say so. The 109 PPG and bottom 1/3 defense is D'Antoni- like.

    I highly doubt Wilt or Bill Russel would have predicted Luc Longley, Will Perdue and Bill Wennington could be the centers on a multi championship Bulls team either but they were.

    Why would there be any hesitation to trade a collection of players off our bench (except CJ) for Tyson? It would be a huge upgrade for Portland. It would make them legit contenders.

    It might be, or it might have been 3 years ago...Chandler has been losing since NY and his big payday..he plays with a superstar, can't stay healthy and costs a ton of money. I like the idea of having a defender like he was in Dallas. Since he's been a Knick, he's slacked off from what I've seen. Recently he's had some good games but would you give up that many guys for him? He's been very injury prone and missed games due to illness quite a bit this season and last season. We have a relatively healthy team. I'm getting used to it but beyond my jaded opinions, Olshey know what to do. Trust Olshey I say!

    I like CJ but he's a project, He has not won or contributed to our win column like Freeland or Robinson or Williams have this season. I think those guys deserve some respect and the rookie has not shown that much yet.

    If you can get him on the cheap (no CJ) but had to take back JR Smith, would you do it?

    Agree. He better not be anywhere near this team.

    Cost + production = not a great value and makes it tough for me to pony up what it would take $$$ wise.
