I would. Discuss.

I think Wilcox is the type of PF we need to play next to Curry. Rugged. Beastly. Young. Never seriously injured while playing in the NBA (to my knowledge).

Or we could trade David Lee, Nate Rob and Jerome James straight up for Wilcox.

I would not. Wilcox still has to prove that his performance for the last half of the season was not simply a contract year push. He has an excuse b/c he never got consistent PT before, but before we trade good young players like Lee and Nate, I would want to be confident that Wilcox is going to bring it every night. Plus, giving up Lee and Nate might be too much. Nate has the potential to be a dynamic scorer in this league.

Wilcox is getting starter money, and I kind of like Frye as our starter going forward.

I do think we need a defensive type presence to complete a three man foward/center rotation, but I think as long as Dlee and Malik are on the roster I think they are getting minutes.

Wilcox played well with the clippers when Kaman was hurt and he got playing time, so I think he's the real deal, not just a contract year guy. He was just stuck behind one of the better front courts in the league with the clips. But I don't want to commit that kind of money unless he's going to be our starter next to EC, in which case we probably would need to move frye.

I think Wilcox could start next to EC, with Frye backing up both PF and the C spot.

I could see wilcox turning into an oakley type player - he's strong, athletic, has good rebounding instincts, and is a good defensive player. he also doesn't try to play out of his element. I think he would be a good long term fit next to curry - if EC can't stay out of foul trouble then maybe frye could log minutes at backup C and PF, maybe he can get about 30-36 minutes a game.

Absolutely Not. Way too much for a one year wonder with a questionable work ethic at this point.

Wilcox is a monster and is probably the most athletic pf in the league I would rather have him than eddy curry, and would never do this deal, he is another guy that is very lazy.....

and lets not make nate out to be a winner, he has a lot to prove and this team would have been better with someone that is going to get players the ball, he is way out of control.....

Lee I would not give up since he runs the floor and plays hard, and is very smart with the ball, he is more valuable than Frye in my opinion who doesn't have much athletic ability and is very awkard when he isn't shooting a jumper.....

I'd do it.

The knock on Wilcox is that he is not a smart player and loses focus during games. Is he a real upgrade from Lee? Not really. Can you win long term with him? Probably not.

agreed

I disagree, Nate's defense didn't show me that at all.
