Considering the drafted players we got, and the players that will definitely be with us - here's what I think we should do with the remaining ones.

Stays - Curry, Frye, Lee, Marbury (ugh), N.Robinson, Crawford, Butler, Collins and Balkman
The Rest - Francis, Q.Rich, Q.Woods, J.Rose, M.Taylor, J.James and M.Rose

Francis - push for the Eddie Jones deal - seems to be the best chance at getting rid of him (since the Denver and Atlanta deals require more contracts to be added).

Q.Rich - I respect his D although he had a terrible shooting year. B/C he and Marbury don't get along - he will probably be moved. Here are some of the players that have similar salary to Q.Rich and the years on their contract... Kurt Thomas (+2), Mark Blount (+4), Magette (+3), Kenny Thomas (+4), Fortson (+1) and Patterson (+1). Any of these better than having Q.Rich?? Maybe Kurt Thomas back for 2 years to add toughness and give Marbury some sh&t occasionally?:)

Q.Woods - I really hope IT resigns him b/c I think he can provide offense at the SF position, especially since we acquired a (potentially good) SF that isn't offensive focused.

J.Rose and M.Taylor - Please waive them and buy out their contacts - this will help the team atmostphere, allow the players to sign elsewhere, and ensure that we don't add more contracts.

J.James - Please buy him out or waive him unless he meets weight requirements specified by middle of summer. I think it's worth it to eat the money and not have him around!

M.Rose - try to trade him for someone with a better contract or a more talented player (even with a longer contract). Mark Blount, Troy Murphy and Croshere all have similar contracts - maybe one of them would prefer to take Rose b/c his ends quicker? If not, let him sit on the IR list - at least he hustles and sets a good example of a professional.

Guards - Marbury,Crawford,N.Robinson,Collins,Q.Rich(unless traded)
Forwards - Frye,Lee,Woods,Balkman,M.Rose (unless traded)
Centers - Curry,Butler

3 extra roster spots due to players waived and/or bought out.

^ It's seriouly funny that you include Kurt Thomas in the Q trade prospect list.

what would be seriously funny is if MoT, Jalen came off the cap cause Dolan handcuffs any trade for extra money coming in, and Francis mostly sits or is traded for equal value (and JJ sits too, but that's not a hard call) and Isiah plays all the Young guys cause that's what he's left with.... ala LB.
