if we make this potential deal ( fwill, anderson, harrington for crawford, jyd and e rob) what can we do next? we have to realize that if we do this we will probably stick with this team for a few years with minor changes. we will have the highest salary cap that will tie our hands. however, we would get young and more athletic. the team will be more exciting than a year ago. but we still need an athletic pf. baker and thomas are not the answer. would memphis do a sign and trade with swift for kt? maybe. they need experience in the frontcourt especially in the west. with thomas and cardinal in tow they can balance out the athleticism of wright and gasol. i also think with eddie robinson ( who we pray will remain healthy) we can shop tim thomas around. but lenny is accurate saying we need athletic bigs to compete with detroit, indy or even nj ( if martin stays). even philly is more athletic with their draft pick and dalembert.

The point is that if you don't do that trade, everything you said is still ture, minus the positives brought in by the trade. Besides, any trade in which Shanderson and Mooch are unloaded is great.

I don't see the deal going through if Shandon or Moochie is involved, which makes the deal a lot harder. I hope I'm wrong. It would be a steal if we could get Jamal AND get rid of Shandon or Moochie
