Good teams have three good bigs and depth behind them. On this team we need a second big who cans core and take pressure of amare. we also need balance at PG both amare and felton are breaking down.
Amen.
Basically, we have a great core of a team which can now make the playoffs. An incredible improvement over the past decade. To get to a championship level, we need a few more pieces, but need to get them while still holding on to our basic core. So, IMO, Melo is the first priority if we can get him at a reasonable price. Then also a defensive, shot-blocking/rebounding center. Then a back-up PF. Especially if he could also backup at C.
We also have to be realistic and discuss those players that are available, or who could be had at a reasonable price. We know Melo is available. He fits our second superstar need. And we know that right now, one of the 2, either Carl Landry or Dalembert is available. (maybe both??) Either one would help us fill a need. But we can't go for either of them until the Melo situation is finalized. As TMS has emphatically stated numerous times, we can't pass on a Superstar like Melo....I agree, as long as it is a reasonable deal and we can maintain a lot of our core group.
Also, OJ Mayo is available, and he may be useful in a 3 team trade.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
