Perk for Randolph would be an interesting trade. The toughest part of that trade is that Perk is not a very good fit for GS's system, and he wouldn't really be a great match playing next to Biedrins.
I also don't think Tyrus Thomas is a realistic target. He is a restricted FA, so we would likely have to overpay for him, and if Danny really wanted him that much, he could have traded for him himself.
didn't realize TT was restricted. he's the type of player we need, though. we need a player with size and athleticism....someone at least 6'8" and someone who can also step out and defend the perimeter.
not sure who else fits that bill.
Unfortunately, guys like that are nearly impossible to find in FA, unless you have cap space to go above the MLE. And if you can find them, there is generally a reason.
If the C's are going to get someone like that, it will have to be either through the draft, or trade.
How about this...with the Knicks pick sitting at #8 currently, I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that Utah trades it. So why not work out a sign and trade with them for Ray and Perk (and maybe the C's pick) for Kirilenko and the Knicks pick.
That gives the Jazz a tough, inside presence on defense that they have been missing, and the best SG they have had since I can remember, and they get Kirilenko off the books.
And the C's get a lottery pick (this would have to be after the draft, so it would be for whoever they ended up drafting), and an athletic 3/4, who might respond well to the change in scenery.
