    I have absolutely now idea how that guy keeps getting jobs. He won coach of the year because of one reason..... and that reason now plays in Miami.

    I'd like them in 9-day chunks so that I can keep up. Here's your schedule, Sly. Start the new thread at midnight beginning each day listed. I even built in an occasional holiday for you.

    Feb. 1
    Feb. 10
    Feb. 20 (Lincoln's Birthday)
    March 2 (Washington's Birthday)
    March 7 (makes up for too many holidays)
    March 16 (you get the Ides of March off)
    March 26 (you can have Spring Solstice off)

    If you get that far ask me for your Playoff Schedule.

    OK, forget about Maynor. After we get Ariza for Williams, Leonard and Claver; we don't need Wright, so i trade him and Watson for Andre Miller. Miller will just play backup PG, 12-15 minutes a game; if he's not amenable to that, don't make the trade.

    I would do Wright, Claver, Leonard, Crabbe for Ariza/Maynor.

    Dame/Maynor
    Wes/Mo
    Nic/Ariza
    LA/TRob
    Rolo/Freeland

    Move Mo to his natural position at shooting guard. It's funny because if you look at 82games.com, he plays his best ball at shooting guard.

    Was Ariza the one who ruined Rudy Fernandez? He just wiped out another player's season. I don't remember who.

    I think Williams would be a key guy for Washington in this deal; and i don't think they would want another SF coming back, especially with two years on his contract.

    I'd want Seraphin if we could. Ariza/Seraphin/Maynor... Or just Ariza/Seraphin.

    They're going to want to dump Maynor's contract. I think that's a big part of it.

    Is it possible to even get back Maynor? Or is that only with trades (like T-rob) that they have to wait a certain amount of time after they leave or get traded?

    If hes just a salary dump, it won't take much so not much has to change... I just think Seraphin could be sneaky good.

    Mike Barrett ‏@blazermb Martell Webster told me moments ago he plans to play out this deal (3 more yrs), retire at 30, come back to Portland and raise his kids.
