OK. So after reading the tribune article last night where Paxson said "we are prepared to use our pick" it seemed like the towel was thrown in on trading for a vet. I base this on him saying the exact same thing last year about the same time when rumors died down about vets (like KG-could've had #2, Deng, and Chandler) and it became obvious we were using the pick.
But we all know this team is ready to win now. The only guys in the draft who could help us are horford, Yi, and spencer hawes, and all could easily be gone by #7.
What veteran post player can we get for the #9 and spare parts (Du and Vic with expiring contracts, maybe even expand the deal to include BG or Noc etc)
I am trying to come up with some....comment on these and suggest others....and some free agents to think about too
GOOD OPTIONS
Primo Brezec and Sean May-#9, Du, Vic for May and Brezec-two post scorers and rotation players at a fair price!
Nene-#9, Duhon, Vic? And 2008 first?
DECENT OPTIONS
Drew Gooden-#9 for Gooden and Shannon Brown? Possible? Gooden for Du, Vic and 2008 first? Would they do that?
Marcus Camby-not really a post scorer, but great defender...
Nick Collison- #9 and Du?
uh OPTIONS
Shelden Williams-trade atl Duhon, Vic, and a 2nd rounder-they dont need him with horford coming in
ok im done for now....think of more and comment on these
