I think this might be the last month that I actually root against this team.
I think if we end the month with 33 losses on the season, we are well on our way to a good draft pick. There is no possible way that we could make the playoffs at that point, so we would be at least in the lottery. It is very likely that we would be very high in the lottery no matter how well we perform for the rest of the season. Draft picks involve a lot of luck anyway, so as long as we get close to the top, I will be fine with it.
Also, if Isiah isn't gone at 33 loses he is pretty much here to stay.
Therefore, some point before the trading deadline I would like to see this team start playing better for next year. I think you probably just buy out marbury around the trading deadline. Then you make a deal for Artest. Ideally, this deal would only include Curry.
At that point, we would have a team of Zach Lee Artest nate crawful With JJ1, JJ2, Balkman, Chandler, mardy etc coming off the bench.
I think at that point we can either draft a big man project or a point guard, whichever value falls to our draft position. A project big man would fit nice with Zach and Lee. Alternatively, a pg like Rose would do as well, and he would be shielded from criticism by crawful. So, I don't think we will be in all that bad of a position as long as Curry goes for Artest, and we end the month with 33 or more losses.
