Rumor is that they want to clear either McCants or Carney

One option would be taking Cardinal off their hands (contract runs through next year) and giving them Rose.

Would they go for that?

Seems like it would help us.

Malik for Cardnial and McCants? Minny might want more than just Malik, but its not a bad deal for us. If Mobley is a no go, I wouldn't mind seeing McCants at the 2 for the short term. He's young, athletic and comes from a top notch program in college. A little undersized but he's very talented.

You'd be paying Cardinal's salary for two years to get McCants for 3/4 of a season, but maybe it would get us over the hump this year.

I've never seen Minny play (I think they're banned from TV). Is one or the other a better outside shooter?

we desperately need a guard. mccants hasn't been terribly consistent as a shooter. last year he shot 45% overall and 40% from 3pt, but the year before he shot 35% overall and 26% from 3pt. this year his numbers are down again, but he also shot 45% his rookie season. i can't figure him out. i think this system could be good for him.

the nice thing about mccants is that we could tender him a qualifying offer for 09-10 and just sign him for the year and he could become an unrestricted FA in 2010.

cardinal can at least shoot the three, if nothing else at this point.

Scratch this idea - Brewer is out for the season. They were trying to make room for him to play more.
