if we had drafted Sean Williams this past season or end up possibly trading Chandler or somehow dumping Jefferies' sorry butt, i'd be all for going after Josh Childress w/the MLE... i wanna see what Wilson Chandler can do before Isiah takes on yet ANOTHER longterm contract of a guy that fills a role that might be able to be filled by someone we already have on this team.

I think Renaldo Balkman is a better long term option at SF than Josh Childress anyway. And Wilson Chandler should be given a chance to prove he can play.

as far as the shot blocking balkman chandler and morris can eleviate that problem if given the chance
they wont put up 7 blocks on thier own but they can block shots

Simple Bill Lee statistics. If we replaced Q Richardson with Josh Childress RIGHT NOW--we'd be 9-7 instead of 5-11. I look at the players skills but also take serious consideration into the numbers. Can Wilson Chandler give me 12-15 points shooting 50+ % and grab 5-6 rebounds right now. If he could he would be playing NOW. Wilson Chandler needs to PROVE what he can do. Josh Childress is YOUNG and proven. With longer athletes on the perimeter--the need for shotblocking will decrease.

My theory is put smart two-way % players[guys who shoot 50% and don't turn the ball over much + hit their FT and play D] all over the floor and good things will come out of it. I will live with some TO's from a superior frontcourt player but everyone else needs to be able to keep TO's down. I can't live with guys who shoot 40% or less--that's not in my game plan and while I know JC is a 40%< player IF I surround the other 4 positions with +50[or close to it] I will give JC one more year to get with it because he has the potential to be there--IF surrounded by better players I would expect JC to score less pass more[moree assists] and take good shots within a good flow. I think he can do it.

Guys like balkman Chandler morris are bench players to me until proven otherwise.

Get rid of Nate Jefferies Rose Q Rich Marbury and figure out what to do with Z and Ec at the end of the season--unless a deal to good to be true is handed to us at the deadline. I do NOT think Z+EC are a viable long term plan but I also will not sell cheap.

and to make my point clear on how to win

go look at the stats Im talking about with the three big one's in SA--they shoot 50% they dont turn the ball over and they play good D. Because there is NOT tim duncan's laying around I need to keep one of our very good frontcourt players[if it was me and curry was willing to lose 20 pounds and keep it off I would stay with Curry] To compensate for the lack of a Tim Duncan--an active bench[which we kind of have] and 3 of the players that I have outlined in #s into the starting line up. We COULD conceivably do this in two years and get much better next year.

i think putting in a dffensive player like morris in the mix with zbo and curry woul make the big rotation better
