Chad Doing is on to something interesting. Rolo to Detroit in a sign and trade for Greg Monroe Multiple player sign and trade for Spencer Hawes. MLE untouched. You can take that and sign two to three players or one. Bae still available. Starters PG Damian Lillard SG Wes Matthews SF Nic Batum PF LaMarcus Aldridge C Spencer Hawes Bench Greg Monroe, CJ McCollum, Will Barton, TRob, MLE player/s, BAE player. Prob don't need all that but interesting nonetheless. Point is, the can make a major move this off season.
At least it's realistic, I rather we deal Wright, Leonard and Crabbe for Hawes. Use the MLE on Jameer Nelson Use BAE on Rasual Butler Lillard / Nelson / CJ Wes / Barton / CJ Batum / Butler / Claver LA / Robinson / Freeland Lopez / Hawes / Freeland Nothing fancy but it improves the bench.
S&T Monroe We'd have potentially the best 3-man PF/C in the League. He would be a homerun acquisition.
Its a good thing this is a basketball forum because most of what I have seen posted is more like a double play that scores a run and no where near a homer
So Chad Doing's plan is to trade Fropez and play outside shooting LaMarcus with outside shooting Hawes? Who's going to box out or rebound? Or demand offensive attention in the low post? I don't like this plan.
My home run off-season: Spencer Hawes, Trevor Ariza, and Greivis Vasquez. MLE for one, S&T the other two (don't care which). I'd gladly give up any of our non-starters to make those deals happen.
aldridge like always? lopez never demanded offensive attention in the low post. monroe is better in the post than lopez
S&T Cj+wright+Freeland and 2nd rounder for Hawes (Cleveland traded Henry Sims, Earl Clark and 2 2nds for Hawes, how are they going to expect CJ+Leonard, both were lottery picks). Hawes gets a 5yr 30mill contract. That gives us like 2mill more to work with. Try signing hinrich for that much. Good defender. Can shoot and run an offense. He made 4mill this year though...so idk if he'll sign for 2mill. I wouldnt mind bringing back mo though. Then sign Selfelosha try with the BAE (made 3.9mill last year but took a dip in basically all categories due to calf injury but very tony allen-like, so his value mightve dropped). A lineup of Batum at point forward+matthews and sefelosha on the wings can shut down alot of opposing perimeter players. Then bring in Pierce or Marion. Pierce is harder to get, but marion is still a good defender. Sign him with MLE. Pg Lillard/Hinrich/Barton (says hes working on pg skills) Sg Matthews/Sefelosha/Barton/Crabbe Sf Batum/Marion/Claver Pf LA/Trob C Lopez/Hawes/Leonard Brought in 3 vets that are known as good defenders. Solid 2nd unit, Marion Hawes Hinrich are all capable scorers. Seems like would be at least a 4 seed. Dont know how realistic this is though.
