1. Defensive big
2. Wing with size, decent defense and decent outside shooting (traits by order of importance)(I am pretty sure that Bill Walker will be a contributer in the playoffs with some of these traits.
3. Meh... between the wing with shot creation skills and the backup point-guard... none, we already have that.
If we can not get Mutumbo, and I am pretty sure that PJ is not an option as he likes being retired, we will need to shake the team up with a Tony Allen/Scals/Big Baby type package for a Joel Prybilla or Dan Gadzuric type player.
I'm not sure at all, because he's not a good defender or shooter right now and most importantly, he's a rookie with no NBA experience so far.
Those trades will never happen: the one for Przybilla is too risky for us, as I don't think we could find a decent wing to replace Allen and Portland would never do it; the deal for Gadzuric is atrocious for us.
The wing I'd try to acquire would be someone like, say, Damien Wilkins. A guy who could play situational minutes in certain matchups. I doubt we have the assets to get him though.
Ya nailed it (IMO) Cordobes, we need length off the bench. A long wing or big is the real need defensively. We dont need scorers, we have the big three, House and Rondo in that order who are all capable of putting up points, even Leon puts up a few.
A James Posey, Tayshawn Prince, Marvin William kind of guy would be awesome, but a Damien Wilkins would be great as well and much more realistic. As for the Big, there are not a bunch of easy choices out there.
I understand the attraction to Przybilla and even a Jeff Foster or Stromile Swift, but they are not likely to be available in our price range. I wonder if Mikki Moore is available? He would be a nice fit if we cant land Mutumbo. Joe Smith is another option I would like to see in green.
