You're probably right. I do think you could trade Eddy for a guard/SF who isn't very good and has an equal contract, although I haven't looked into who might qualify. I don't know if you can trade Zach under any circumstances but maybe he'd be willing to buy out one player.

I agree we can probably move Eddy and not get complete garbage back, but clearly nowhere near what we gave up.

Zach is going to be an anchor to this organization.

Or anchored to this roster unless Dolan buys him out or takes back utter garbage back - I thought the deal the Bucks offered was horrible, and their GM got fired over it!

I think we'd be ok with either Zach or Eddy - but having both is killer

Everyone is talking about drafting Lopez for next year. Do you really think we can trade Zach or Eddy? Is Dolan going to write a 90 million check to buy them out? We need to reconfigure this team but a part of it will be letting contract expire, and being one of the worst teams in the league again next year. We need to get a guard this year and a guard or a wing next year and go from there. We are stuck with Zach and eddy for a while so you nught as well get used to it.

That means squat. You take the player with the heighest ceiling available regardless of position. Eddy Curry also has knee surgery and who knows what will come of that. We need help at every position--also I hope they don't lock into any one player and let the draft process take it's course--unless we get the jackpot where we don't have to think about it.

I think Brock Lopez will be a good NBA player who puts up good stats. I don't see him as a player that will run your offense or defense though.

I think players like Deanre Jordan, Mcgee, & Thabeet have more potential to have a higher impact. I think they have potential to be great impact defensive players. I don't think Brock will be a impact offensive player or defensive player. I think Brock will get his stats, but I don't see him running an offense or defense as the main cog. I think Jordan, Mcgee, Thabeet have the athletism, build, characteristics to be able to run the defense from the paint.

Just remember we owe our 09 1st rounder to Phoenix for Marbs...so if next year is a lotto pick it's going to Phoenix

nope, it's 2010 and it was traded to Utah.

Having Zach or Eddie is OK if you're going to have an elite defensive frontcourt mate for them, along with 4 other guys who can shoot, pass and defend. It's not impossible, but building with or around one of them would be EXTREMELY difficult. Probably an 8 or 9 on a scale from 1-10.

Shouldn't we be striving for these kind of players anyways? Seriously what do people expect when you have a roster that lacks a consistent shooter, no true point guard, or no shot-blocker. Its not about building around anyone its about building a serviceable basketball team.
Shouldn't

maybe you can sell minn
trade curry for walker and next yrs 1st

u can have Zach be an effective part of your team but you're gonna need to bring in a shotblocking C, a defensive SF & a floor general, same as u would if u had Curry starting games (only instead of a C you'd need a shotblocking PF)
