improve the team's future... if that means trading up for Mayo, taking BPA at #6, or trading down to unload Zach, we got no choice but to trust whatever he does will address that... so far he's been public about his wishes to target cap flexibility in 2010 as well as his wishes to get this team back to playing winning basketball... it's anyone's guess what his plans are but i think he's considering every possible option to achieve better returns on Dolan's monetary investments over the next few years.

That's what I picked because it accomplishes two of the choices.

I would say the most important thing is to get rid of Zach but it's really not that an option right now, there is no market for Zach. With that said, getting a player that will be part of this team's future in the draft is most important to me.

our most immediate need to improve this year is a defensive bigman however.

Well if you look at from D'Antonio Mcdyess' vantage point the most important immediate need is a point guard. With him at coach defense won't be heavily stressed so might as well get what will enhance his system most which out of his own mouth..."I HAVE ALL THE PIECES IN PLACE FOR THE SYSTEM I JUST NEED A POINT GUARD TO RUN IT."

Agreed. This team needs a head.

i happen to think Nate & Jamal can do the job at PG this year, it's not like we're gonna be contending for any championships right off the bat anyways... there are no Steve Nash's out there for us to get... closest to a PG we can target in any trade right now is either TJ Ford or Kirk Hinrich... Ford comes w/all kindsa health issues so we should be very wary to give up any valuable assets to get him... for Hinrich i can't imagine us getting him w/o including the #6.

if u can nab a Marcus Camby right now he would improve this team much more than a TJ Ford or Hinrich would IMHO.

Camby would be great individually but he won't be able to raise our team's defense. I mean look at Denver. Camby plays next to your boy K-Mart, you think they're both above average defenders. Well how's Denver's team defense? HORRIFUL! It's not Camby's fault nor Martin's they can't do everything especially when their teammates turnstyle their opponents into them. We have worst defenders than the Nuggets and our players would do the same with Camby here plus we aren't getting prime Camby. I'd wager to say Pringles stressed defense far less than Karl. Meanwhile when you don't have a point guard as we have witnessed for several yrs it trickles down leading to so many other problems.

Earn his check and get them all. I believe in Nate as a point guard but if D'antoni doesn't? Then that's a huge need.

I picked draft pick btw. Donnie has to find a way to get the best use outta that pick. Draft is in 4 days.

it's my belief that we can feasibly trade for Camby w/o having to give up the #6 pick... we may have to include D Lee tho, but Camby brings plenty of rebounding so you that fills that role anyway.

we'd still have the #6 to draft a PG if a Westbrooke, Bayless or whoever else is available, or u could use it in a trade to target Hinrich if you're not confident in any of the prospects at 6.

The most important thing this summer is signing Jessica Alba as it has been for the past few years!
In a very distant second, I choose getting a defensive big man.

If we don't find a defensive bigman, what player drafted at 6 is gonna fill that void ?

We need to hit the draft. The draft is our best way of obtaining a potential building block.

Say no to Zno because drafting the BPA is a given
