Francis to Clipps for re-signed Sam I AM? Let Mobley be brokeback with Franchise again!
lol.
DJ, Francis really would be an ideal option for Memphis this season.
They wouldnt have to give up the boat for him, and they'd be able to get rid of Cardinal's awful contract while holding onto EJ's expiring.
I agree that they'd wanna hold onto Battier over Miller b/c they already have enough shooters. Battier is an unspoken leader on that team and brings defense and intangibles. He may not show up in the box score, but Miller's more easily replaceable IMO.
Depends all on the direction West wants to go in.
I posted this 2 days ago, but Miller + Cardinal + Fut. 2nd for Francis + 29th Pick is an ideal trade for both teams.
Francis gives them exactly what West said they were lacking -- a penetrator and go-to-guy in the 4th quarter (he's 1 of the leaders in last second shots over the past couple years)
Miller gives us outside shooting and a premier 6th man. Cardinal is just to make the salaries even. Giving up the 29th probly convinces West to do it, and opens up another roster spot for us.
Along with that trade, I'd look for a Q-Rich/J. James for K-Mart trade. Why? B/c Martin's value is so low, they have no choice. But seriously, Richardson would fit in well with that team. He gives them outside shooting on the break, and can rebound well. Kiki was looking strongly at him a few seasons ago anyway...
I'd really hope we can sign Jared Jefferies with the MLE. B/c he'd be the ideal SF in LB's system.
If we can't get him (Washington will unfort. probly lock him up), then Darius is always an option.
And Eric Snow as a backup is always a possibility.
So there you go DJ.
Your move!
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure.
And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.
