Here's my ideal moves.

trade Prince and Stuckey to Atlanta for Josh Smith.

ATL does it because Smith is leaving and it's better than nothing. Both players would be nice on their squad.


Trade Jerebko to OKC for Ibaka and Aldridge.

OKC does it because Ibaka will be gone for nothing and Aldridge won't ever likely be a key piece for them. Jerebko also gives the OKC rednecks some white dude to root for (hehe).


then detroit drafts Dion Waiters. (Austin Rivers if he isn't available).

End Result:

B.Knight/Will Bynum
Waiters/? (league minimum or maggette and Daye fill in?)
J.Smith/Maggette
Ibaka/ Singler?/ CV?/ Daye?
Monroe/Macklin


Best case = the team gels and looks great right from the get go.
Worst case = the team sucks and it's looking at a shitload of cap space next year, or perhaps trades expirings for a disgruntled superstar in mid season.





ck next year.

dude OKC just went to the Finals with Ibaka on the books for 1.2 mil or sth for next year, he will be a restricted FA, they wont trade him for Jonas, lol.

i like the Atlanta trade, but i doubt Dumars will separate Knight from his new best workout friend just yet, also with all that capspace in 2013 we can make a run at Smith anyway.

Stuckey, Charlie V and #9 for Pau Gasol and Lakers 2014 1st.

Knight
Maggette
Tay (boo!)
Monroe
Gasol

I might watch a few more games with that squad. Even more if we can move Tay, maybe for Josh Smith? Would probably need to include JJ, tho.

Knight
Maggette
Josh Smith
Monroe
Gasol

Booyah.

Yeah, The Thunder are the shit. Too bad they couldn't beat the heat though.

Still eventually they're going to have to chose between Ibaka and Harden when that extension time comes. Since they're high on Harden, it's looking like Ibaka's time is almost up to me. I kinda figure they'd want Jonas instead of nothing.
