Amare/Sheed

[slydiggity]

So Sheed and Billups for Amare and Barbosa is good... but not great.
Billups and Nash is not a good combo at all. I don't think we need Barbosa and he doesn't fit with our style of play.

But...This IMO... is AMAZING!
Sheed and Rip for Amare and Diaw (and I checked it out on the trade machine and it worked)

PHO+
this definitely fits their win now priority
they get some soon to expire contracts if it doesn't work
they get more defensive minded while not losing on the offensive side
Nash and Rip much better combo than Nash/Billups
Rip fits PHO style of play better
Sheed's 3's can still spread out the floor for their offense

DET+
Amare is a huge upgrade for us
He still could work in a halfcourt style of play
We get younger with both of those players
Stuckey gets more playing time
We'd be heavy at the PF spot but that would allow us to trade
anyone at that position.

now you have to admit that looks pretty good.

Could Diaw be a backup SF? I know he played a very athletic version of PF for them and when he came into the league with the Hawks he was playing SG. Would he be able to be a 3-4 for us and backup Tay along with Afflalo depending on matchups?

Diaw is best as a backup F (both positions) like Walton is. Solid passer and all around player. However, you still need a 6th man that can score to complement him. our first rounder would have to bring us a good wing scorer, or we'd have to get a solid on with the MLE. Hopefully we'd draft a SG to replace RIP, keep Stuckey as a combo guard and sign Posey as well. I'd probably start Posey in RIP's spot and keep Stuckey as instant offense off the bench.

i think diaw can play 2-5, which makes him versatile as fuck, and i like that. he can guard many positions and would be expendable on the court.

id do the proposed trade above but who i am i say

As long as he can backup the 3 I'm down with this trade. Amare takes over the C spot for us, giving us the inside presence we need. Diaw takes over the backup SF spot, which we've needed to solidify for a few years now. Then we just take a look to see who we'd draft. Maybe they'd swap us draft spots, since we're giving them 2 all-stars and all. I'm not sure they'd do that, but they're always looking to sell off draft picks anyway, why not slide down some.

I may be wrong, but I could almost swear he broke into the league as a PG with Atlanta...

talk about versatility...too bad his game disappeared after he got paid
