Clippers will do what it takes to keep C Paul. Celtics need to release Doc (he will sign with Clippers), trade KG & Crawford for Bledsoe & Butler plus the Clippers 1st round this year # 25 (draft Ledo) & 1st pick in 2015 (no lottery restrictions). How can the Clippers say no,
Lakers need to keep Howard. Trade Pierce, Jet & Bass for Gasol & Duhon (keep in mind Gasol salary goes to 22 million if traded). Lakers surround Howard with shooters and a bench. How can they say no.
Kings need to draw more fans to justify building a new stadium and someone who can control Cousins. Trade Rondo for the # 7 pick, Evans, Tony Douglas & James Johnson (Draft Steve Adams), How can they say no!
Keep in mind all of the new contracts we bring in are for 1 year. We will be way under the cap next year.
Cleveland is dying to trade the first pick,( no one wants to spend the 1st pick on a 206 pound 6'11 jumping-jack with an injured knee. The same knee he also hurt in high school. The owner of Quickbooks is making strong statements about winning now & are way under the cap. Trade Gasol after the Lakers trade (top 5 center when healthy) & Courney Lee the number 16th pick for number one ( a few throw-ins to make the numbers work Speights ect.) How can they say no!
I would take the risk & draft Noel at #1, daft Adams (Scal worked him out & loves the kids upside) and draft Rickey Ledo at 25 (the biggest sleeper in the draft)
Team of the future
Sullinger PF
Adams C
Green SF
Bledsole pg/SG
Evans pg/sg they are interchangable & can both bring ball up
Bench Ledo, Bradley & Noel
Just think about the defensive potential this young and super athletic team would have.
