Talk about it on the Trade Board

We probably would have to send this years first round pick to phoenix but it's worth it because:
Dean Garret
William Avery
Dan Marjerle
Rodney Rogers
John Wallace
Charles Oakley
are all free agents and with a line up like this:
C Charles Oakley
PF Kurt Thomas
SF Shawn Marion
SG Allan Houston
PG Stephon Marbury
and an enormous amount of role players coming off of the bench this years draft pick that we would send to phoenix wouldn't be in the lottery. We actually would end up around or under the cap number for next season, with 6 players leaving us through free agency. I know we still wouldn't have a true center but the future would be brighter with steph and the matrix in town. Let me know what you guys think.

whoa, I need to get my 2 free white boards and some index cards to figure out what is proposed here. Be back in an hour.

Lol, cool :)
