I think Moon is less likely than guys with the long term contracts that teams want to dump strictly to rid themselves of the salary burden. With Moon, if we offered him the LLE (the most we could offer), they'd probably just match, and if they wanted to sign and trade him, I don't see that they'd be interested in our non-Ray expirings. The only guy they'd probably want is Baby, which doesn't work for me because then you just solve one problem (backup SF) and cause another one (lose backup big). The Moon scenario seems unlikely to me.
I have to take this back. Moon does seem like a good target too, because they do have a contract they'd like to shed in James Jones, so he'd have to come too. Yeah, this would be great by me; our expirings for Moon and Jones. Then use the LLE for backup PG. Get er done, Danny.
Running debate... with myself!
Okay, back to thinking Moon is unlikely because when I looked at Jones' salary info it looks like only this year is guaranteed, and that the following 3 years are team option, so they don't have a salary they'd like/need to shed. I'm back on Noc, Maggette, Jackson.
if so, then you are indeed following in the footsteps of mencius...or....孟子 if you prefer.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
