IT has said in the papers that the draft was not the way he wanted to improve the team. IMHO, players like M Daniels, G Wallace, J Richardson (who seems available with the emergence of Peitrus) would be my first choice. Daniels and Wallace aren't the most accurate shooters and Richardson slacks on D.
Daniels could be packaged in a sign and trade with walker for KT, Anderson, but that probably won't happen (even though it would help Dallas on D).
G Wallace for F Williams works straight up, but giving up Frank this early ...
Richardson could possibly come in this elaborate and unrealistic:
real gm trade # 1590758
Golden State trades: SG Jason Richardson (18.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 2.9 apg in 37.6 minutes) C Erick Dampier (12.3 ppg, 12.0 rpg, 0.8 apg in 32.5 minutes) Golden State receives: PF Mike Sweetney (4.3 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 0.3 apg in 11.8 minutes) PF Othella Harrington (4.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 0.5 apg in 15.6 minutes) C Nazr Mohammed (7.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 0.5 apg in 20.1 minutes) Change in team outlook: -14.7 ppg, -5.9 rpg, and -2.4 apg.
New York trades: PF Mike Sweetney (4.3 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 0.3 apg in 11.8 minutes) PF Othella Harrington (4.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 0.5 apg in 15.6 minutes) C Nazr Mohammed (7.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 0.5 apg in 20.1 minutes) New York receives: SG Jason Richardson (18.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 2.9 apg in 78 games) C Erick Dampier (12.3 ppg, 12.0 rpg, 0.8 apg in 74 games) Change in team outlook: +14.7 ppg, +5.9 rpg, and +2.4 apg.
Why GS would do it: Richardson is a tradable asset not that Pietrus (the french Artest) is starting to develope. Dampier will opt out, and does not want to return. Mohammed will give them the center they need to replace him, Sweetney will compensate for the loss of rebounds, and Harrington is an expiring contract.
Why NY would do it: Dampier is much stronger, athletic, and more dominant than Mohammed. J Richardson would alleviate the scoring load, by spreading the floor (great 3 points shooter) and able to run on the fast break with the best of them (2 time slam dunk champ).
