I like the idea of us getting Kwame, Dalembert, Steven Hunter (pho), Curry and I think we could get brand but the price would extremely high. Maybe we couldn't give them enough. We could probably get magloire right now, but isn't he hurt and how will he help our team better than Nazzy? I'm asking because I really don't know.

I still believe in sweets and I don't want to trade him unless it is in a package for a proven post presence. I thik Sweets will be that deal, but he needs more time on the floor.

Nazzy isn't our problem, he has been extemeley consistant this year and was the only other player that came to play last night. He would have had more than 20 if he didn't go through that stretch of rushing about 2-3 shots in a row. I actually think he should be featured more in the games. Especially last night when we were sluggish on O. Let him work, I mean lets really push him and see how many buckets we can get out of him, because i think he isn't being used to his fullest potential. He is improving with each game, and if we even had a big clumsy 7 footer beside him like gerome james, Nazzy could play the 4 and be more effective IMO. Steven hunter could probaly be had for some portion or all of the MLE this offseason.

With H20 I really don't think it is a question of effort, his physical capablilities (knees) are greatly diminished and I don't think he has fully adjusted yet. He can't move quick enough to get around screens to get himself open. Defensive players can just beat him to the spot. Offensive players too.

This brings up 2 things, coaching and Stephs passing ability. All it would require is a more motion oriented offense and some added creativity on Stephs part to get H20 or anyone else on the team involved.

I like the idea of adding players but not trading because none of the trades will make us significantly better than we are now without losing alot. We ar enot that good and cannot really afford to lose much. If minny wants to trade KT for Wally, we should do that in a heartbeat, he is the best player that I have ever heard mentioned in a trade for KT. Even though wally isn't what we need, we could get him now, because TT will be gone by the all star break of next year anyway.

This cold be our starting lineup

Steph
Craw
Wally
Sweets
Nazzy

The KT for Diop and Wagner isn't horrible either althoug it isn't the best. I still believe in wagner's abilities and maybe they could have him be the backup point/2 guard. Diop is a big 7 footer, something we completely lack. Start Nazzy and sweets and let Diop and JYD come off the bench.

BTW Nazzys defensive assignment J. collins only had 2 rebounds total.

KT's assignment Kristic had 7 rebounds including 3 offensive. Not to mention 12 points. Kt can slow down KG but can't stop a rookie, great!!

Of we move Nazzy to the 4 and get alegit 7 footer we should be fine downlow. Nazzy will keep improving. Steph has got to keep his mouth shut.
