I'm all for the 2010 plan, but want to obtain a reasonably decent shooting guard. Assuming Port or GS was a go, what do you guys think about either of these deals?
Port trade...
Lee, Jeffries and W.Chandler for M.Webster, T.Outlaw, S.Blake and Bayless? (after 12/22 for Lee)
Why? Lee is desired (but maybe leaving anyway), W.Chandler is replaced by Outlaw - expiring, Jeffries is gone. Blake helps us this season and also expires... Bayless and Webster are young and not too expensive (we are going to need reasonably cheap but talented players to fill out our roster - even with a superstar). Salary wise we would save a little for next years totals (9.1 to 7.0 for 2010-11)
GS trade...
Nate, J.Hill and W.Chandler for A.Randolph, A.Morrow and Claxton
or
Lee, Jeffries and W.Chandler for A.Randolph, A.Morrow, R.Bell and Radmanovic
Why? Really like Randolph and Morrow, Claxton expires... Nate likely gone anyway. Morrow could be that shooter we need.
Second scenario is less desirable - but it might require Lee to complete the deal. feedback welcome :)
