We lost out on Grant Hill, ouch! I think we must resign Baby, and we must get a good wing, and we should get a serviceable backup pg but it's not a necessity. There is a lot we can do with the Scal and TA combo (about 6 million), and you can always spice it up with Pruit/Walker/Giddens if you must.
The Herlad said Danny is now looking into sign and trades and that's good. But what can we do with the Scal and TA expiring contract combo?
Someone already said Battier - Scal and TA work, spice it up with Pruit or Giddens? It's only a two year committment, perfect!
Gomes - Scal straight up works. You can add Pruit or Giddens and it still works. I like it..
PG? How bout Earl Watson? OKC has no use for him, Scal and TA works. OKC would never do it but add Kyle Weaver, uh! Weaver is a player, he can do it all shoot defend, run, athletic. They have Sefolosha who is a carbon copy, so maybe they do it. If they added Weaver we could add any 2 player combo from Walker/Giddens/Pruitt
Nocioni - 3 years @ 7.5 mil... eh, Scal, TA, and 1 of Pruitt/Walker/Giddens. Sac Town does this without hesitation IMO.
Scal and TA for Udrih? I bet they do that too, and you lock up your backup point for the next 3 years, a little overpaid at 6 mil.
Korver (also expiring)
NJ is in full rebuild mode. You can take care of the backup SF and PG with Scal and TA... Jarvis Hayes and Dooling. Dooling played well last year, and Hayes was servicable, I think Walker is ready to contribute too. I bet NJ would do this just to get out of the nearly 4 million they will owe Dooling after this year. I would spice it with Pruitt, but not Walker or Giddens.
Jeff Foster - Long long tenure in Indi, but they have Hansbrough. I bet they would do it, he's owed 6 mil per for the next 2 years.
Thats all I got. I think DA could get a decent player with this combo, and not one of these suggestions is a sign and trade.
If you want to do a sign and trade, give Scal and TA to the Knicks for Robinson, 24 mil over 4 years. I would flip. The Knicks would do it. Resign Baby, your second unit could be
Nate
House/Giddens?
Walker
BBD
Sheed
I'll take it. Small backcourt but who cares... I just love Nate.
