dude you are an emotional spaz. we have a little something here we just need to add and subtract some but NOT crawford for inferior players! IT is like a CEO who has stayed to long in the position without the desired results--isiah is THE subtraction. Let the new people figure out the rest. I think what I would do is ADD to nate and jamal get another wing and guard who can play so that they dont need to take 40+ shots. randolph and lee are fine balkman when given time has been good. We just don't have enough and that is why we have lost the last 4--better play but the guys tire out and make mistakes. They have to get Curry back in premium shape and get him playing good off the bench to get different value for him. Jamal is a player who is coming into his veteran prime---you dont want to get rid of him unless you are starting from base 1 with 5 21 year olds.
Any trade I suggest BRIGGS is a Memphis Gizzlies type trade. It's to clear cap and possibly pick up a young prospect in the process. Petro is still a young center in this league who could provide shot blocking for us, you know something we desperately need. Delonte is an audition piece at the point position, let's see what a player like him can do. Delonte and Petro are both former Top 15 1rst round draft picks. Petro is 22yrs of age and Delonte is 24 still young players. Wilkins is a very cheap wing defender. The Orlando trade we get a first round draft pick and save $27mil in salary.
The only way we improve our situation is through trades and the pieces we'd rather give up have very little value, therefore you won't be able to put the correct pieces around the others you want to keep. You suggested earlier in the yr to possibly rebuild around Curry again, Come on Man!
