I could live with #7, Biedrins, Randolph and Wright if we trade JRich and Nash for young pieces also and get our pick back.
#7 DeRozan #14 Jennings I can live with that. Grab 2 picks later to get Blair and Buddinger.
Disagree. I'm down with the GS package, and trading Lopez to get our pick back next year. Then keep Nash/Hill and JRich if he can't be moved, and run n gun like crazy next year. If they trade Wallace (cap space this year) for an mid-tier offensive frontline player, and draft Jordan Hill with #7 and a PG with #14, they have a nice playoff team next year with tons of youth and pieces for the future.
Not a contender, but it's going to be an LA and Cleveland finals next year anyway.
Then decide the next 5 year direction with Nash in 2010.
You have to remember that Nash right now and any team of athletic young runners, dunkers and shooters will be an offensive force and a .500 team.
The key is if some of the young bigs can move their feet and play some darn defense (which sadly Amare does or will not). Then they are a lower seed playoff team in the WC.
