Its irrelevant whether we make the playoffs or not because we'll be going into them unarmed for the postseason battles. Frankly, I don't think its a good idea to blow the team up and quibbling over drafting, signing FAs or trading for pieces is pointless - of course you use all methods of acquiring players.
Not blowing up the team doesn't mean that we wouldn't entertain offers for Nash and Hill, provided they are agreeable to change. If no one wants to offer something worthwhile then we keep them on. (If there is a season long lockout, the odds are good they'll both retire, so I'd keep that in mind when deciding what is worth while.)
I'm also not opposed to moving JRich or to keeping him if the price is right - his D, rebounding and inside scoring are good enough to help whatever kind of team we put together. Needless to say, dealing Hedo is on the table come the middle of the month.
The only thing I'm really interested in is a 'culture' change for the team and that means a major increase in the importance of defense, including rebounding. I've wanted this for the majority of my adult life but now I'm to the point that I'm not able to watch our team getting pushed and bumbling around on defense. Its like they're advertising what a pushover they are going to be in playoffs.
So the focus of rebuilding is not on exactly what methods we will use to acquire players - we have some good defenders on the team but the coaching staff seem to have their minds on the trivia. Step one should be reviving the second unit that did so well last year. Don't saddle them with Hedo and play them as a unit to build cohesion. Give all of our youthful bigs an opportunity to be a part of it - Barron, Clark, Siler and Lawal. Who knows what being an integral part of a playing unit will bring out in them? Heck, even Clark might respond to that. If none of them do, then at least, we know we can dump them... open up some roster spots. Of course, we figure to lose some games but as far as I'm concerned the team would be worth watching again.
