1. The NYK gives a retiring Allan Houston a big hug and a thank you for playing his heart and knees out.
2. Trade Tim Thomas and the 2005 lotto pick to Indiana for Artest and Bender.
3. Trade Kurt Thomas, 2006 Spurs 1st and $3 million cash to Washington for Kwame Brown and Wizards 2005 1st.
4. Use Wizards 2005 1st to draft Andray Blatche.
5. Use the Phoenix 2005 1st to draft Channing Frye
6. Use the 2nd rounder from Houston (JVG compensation) on best PG available - Filiberto Rivera, Jose Juan Barbera, Nikolaos Zissi, Marcelas Huerta, or Ender Arslan - at least one of them will be available.
7. Trade Penny Hardaway to Toronto for Jalen Rose (this gets Raptors payroll down to a little over $30 million once Penny's contract expires, his deal is up a year before Rose's).
8. Sign and trade Crawford and JYD to Seattle for Ray Allen. Allen's the best player in the deal, JC younger SG and JYD gives them a good backup sf/pf, so they can let Radmanovic walk or sign and trade him to a team with cap space for a pick.
9. Sign PG Tyronn Lue with the MLE - he's been playing out of his mind in Atlanta the last 20 games, has always been a good defensive backup pg, and won two rings with the Lakers.
10. Lock up Jackie Butler for the next two years with the LLE. If he works out it's a steal, if he doesn't it's just the LLE so who cares?
starters - Marbury, Allen, Artest, Sweetney, Brown
bench - Lue, Jalen Rose, Malik Rose, Taylor, Bender (have the 7-footer drag the other team's center out to the perimeter and drive past them, if they don't come out to guard him shoot threes)
extras - Ariza and Frye
IL - Butler, Blatche, the PG taken with the 2nd rounder
