JYD, KT, Rose, Sweets, Taylor.....with a possibility of drafting a big or signing a big via free agency

Something has to be done where at least 2 players get traded.

I personally don't have a preference. They all are good in one aspect of the game. Not one is all that much better the other.

I'm convinced that Memphis needs some muscle inside. They need guys that get after it like some of the players they already have. Plus if Gasol isn't gonna rebound he needs a body guard.

JYD for Posey works under the CBA.

Posey had a injury plagued season but no matter.....he is a NY Knick kind of player. He plays defense and does alot of good things on offense. Memphis has enough players that play his position. They need a rebounder that will play the style that Fratello likes.

Just a thought......any other bright ideas?

i like it. i'd give up one of the late picks to get it done.

we've gone completely full circle since the Layden days...we once had a roster full of bloated contracts & undesirable veterans w/a glut of 5 PF's...we now have a roster full of bloated contracts & undesirable veterans w/a glut of 5 PF's.

ever see the movie "Groundhog's Day"?

Kurt Thomas and Malik Rose to Portland for Ratliff and their 2nd round pick. Portland would do it. Ratliff has a bad contract and he is not a great player, but I prefer having him as our center than having Kurt Thomas another year.

good point. it would take Kurt not both.

yeha but he is as injury prone as they come. He wont be our starting center and thats why I would not trade for him, under any circumstances. He's not going to play a full season.
