For the Jazz, in the offseason let Ostertag go, and clear up some more cap space then throw heaps of money at Memo Okur. He could be their center for the future. If Utah didn't obtain a decent PF in the draft, trade Matt Harpring for one. I like Harp, but he takes minutes from AK47 and is good trade bait. Then, Utah would have heaps of cap space still, which they could use to go after another big FA, or keep till next season.
I would sell my team and keep all the money......... j/p As the Raptor GM I would sign Steve Nash in the off-season and obtain Jamaal Magloire via trade. I will convince the Hornet's GM that trading Magloire in a deal involving Jalen Rose will somehow benefit their team (I'm pretty sure it's not possible but hey, I can dream). This will solve our front court and point guard problems & will also give us some Canadian content.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Romination:</div><div class="quote_post">I'd be the GM of the Timberwolves. I'd trade Sam Cassell, Wally Szczerbiak, and Michael Olowokandi to the Magic for Tracy Mcgrady. The Tmac/Kevin Garnett combo would be the best for many years to come, and the Magic get especially what they need, an great playmaker and a big man center, along with the poor man's Peja Wally Szczerbiak. I would then trade Troy Hudson, Oliver Miller, and Gary Trent to the Sixers for Eric Snow and Greg Buckner. They would be great ego-less PGs that Minnesota needs to support Kmac (KG and Tmac). The Sixers get what they need too, an explosive scoring player in Troy Hudson to complement AI and draw the defense out to the perimeter so they can feed easy layups to Kenny Thomas, and we get to rid ourselves or Miller and Trent, who'd do great in the East. I would then sign FAs 6-10th men from other team who's main forte is defense and nothing else. After these, the Timberwolves would be all set for a threepeat.</div> WoW, some of the things people come up with.
As Houston's Exec, I'd trade Steve Francis and Scott Padgett for Stephon Marbury. Please hit the bong during just that one phone call, Isaiah.
Does anyone think this trade would be possible? Well from what I understand, New Jersey does not want to give Kenyon Martin the maximum contract he believes he deserves, and Allen Iverson is likely to be moved by the 76ers. So I put together this possible deal that I believe could benefit both teams. 76ers Receive Kenyon Martin (resigned to the max), Kerry Kittles, Jason Collins and 2 first round draft picks. New Jersey Receives Allen Iverson, Kenny Thomas, and Samuel Dalembert This trade helps The Sixers because they not only receive a replacement shooting guard in Kerry Kittles, but they receive an ALL STAR power foward to further build around in Kenyon Martin. Sixers would also receive Jason Collins who's a solid center and 2 first round draft picks to help rebuild The Sixers. The Nets get Allen Iverson who can help them in the half court where New Jersey tends to struggle. Also they receive Samuel Dalembert, who not only would bring them shot blocking ability but would shine in New Jersey because he's able to run the floor on the fastbreak and capable of slamming down the opps. They would also receive Kenny Thomas who could give them rebounding and be a solid replacement at power foward for New Jersey.

I lived thru the Stephon Marbury days, I couldnt take the Allen Iverson days. I have never really been a fan of his since his Hoya, but I do respect him as a player. And the effort he brings on the court. But I still wouldnt want him on the Nets. Now on to basketball reason why this trade will not be possible. Philly would never trade Allen Iverson unless they get a seat filler in return. K-mart is a star to most basketball fans. But he isnt a seat filler. People arent going to come & watch him like they come to see AI. Philly makes alot of money off ticket sells because of AI. Why would Philly want Kerry Kittles or Jason Collins? I love Kerry Kittles but if you combine him with Eric Snow you probably have the most passive backcourt in the NBA. They would need more aggressive offense players on the perimeter to fill the role of AI. The one thing KK has is that he played at Villinova, so he might have some fans left in the area. But that still wouldnt draw as much fan fare as what AI brings to the table. And Jason Collins cant score nor rebound. Why would Philly want him? The Nets get away with him at center because they have a bunch of sizable bodies, K-mart, A Will, Rodney Rogers,etc. Philly would have a center who cant score. And a backcourt that doesnt look to score. On paper the Nets seem like they get the best of the trade. But adding a guy like AI changes the total make up of your team. But What happens to Kidd? Kidd needs the ball in his handes alot to create for others. But AI is a one on one player who needs the ball in his handes almost 24/7. What happens to Richard Jefferson? RJ is developing into a star. But with a guy like AI around his shots will go down. Which is going to limit his growth imo. Name one player that has developed into a star playing along side AI? Not Larry Hughes, not Tim Thomas(only tho it was only for a season & a half for him in Philly), Rob Thorn is smart, He knows that K-mart is the emotional leader of the Nets. And he will put the money out for K-mart in the offseason. Last summer the Nets didnt want to talk about max contracts with him because of the sell of the Nets. But now that all that is out of the way, this offseason they are going to talk business. RJ & K-mart are the future of the Nets. And they are going to develope into pernial all-stars. So Philly can keep AI, cause KENYON MARTIN IS THE NETS.

I would be the raptors GM and trade Donyell marshall and alvin willaims along with then 2nd round draft pick for ron artest and a 1st round draft pick(which will be like # 27, 28 or 29). I would also sign a big man like Deke(is he a free agent) for D and as for everyone on the bench, i would not resign the ones with expiring contracts and rebuild a balanced attack of Defense and Offense. Not to mention if the raps do not make the playoffs it's another good lottery pick. (lineup if this does happen) PG-jalen rose SG-vince carter SF-ron artest PF-chris bosh C-Deke tell me what y'all think.(i'm pretty sure the ron ron deal won't work out..but one can try) PS: an idea as to sebastien telfair? if he was in it he would be around the #15 pick according to the mock draft and toronto might have a chance at him
Well If I was Lakers GM I would definitely focus mostly on Kobe.I would try to build for the future.i would try my hardest to convince Shaq to take a paycut until he retires then start getting young players.Because in the enxt five years Malone and Payton will have retired and Shaq will be gone in atleast 10 years so thats why we need to start building around the future with Luke,Kobe,Cook,Rush,etc.
