THought long and hard about taking the Dude

Trade:

Atlanta sends Wes Matthews, Lou Williams, Elton Brand, 5.6
Portland sends DeAndre Jordan, Tony Allen, 4.17

Right now I have (arguably) the best defensive and fast break teams in the league. However our half court offense is ugly at best. Hopefully I can remedy the situation, that or my players decide to relentlessly attack the hoop instead of shooting.

Mais, pourquoi? C'est terrible pour Monsieur DeAndre.

Ah, c'est la vie. Nous avons toujours Monsieur LaMarcus.

With Rondo and Smith, I think people may employ the time-tested "Hack-a-Hawk" strategy in close games.

I'm selecting a proven floor general and Champion:



THE Jason Kidd.

At this point in his career, all I'd need from him is Leadership, and he has a lot of that. He has 3 proven scorers up front to give the rock to, so I'm sure Marc, Rudy and DWest are happy.

Additionally, even at 38 yrs of age he is still a decent defender.

Happy with the pick at this stage.

Lowry
?
Gallo
Splitter
Howard

We're gonna look down on you with pity. That's some size, some talent, and some defense, suckas.

Trying to trade into the end of the 2nd round. Got several later picks to offer.

Early 3rd will work too.

Jason Kidd is an excellent pickup. I was hoping he'd slide further.

Trade:

Atlanta sends Wes Matthews, Lou Williams, Elton Brand, 5.6
Portland sends DeAndre Jordan, Tony Allen, 4.17

So, for clarification:  Draft picks have to be even in a trade.  Do players + draft picks not have to even out?

I loved Wes Matthews with Rondo and Smith. Now, Tony Allen may be your best jump shooter.

(GOSH) (DARN) it.

Honestly, I'm not really looking at this stuff. I figure you guys can figure it out on your own. Jeez.

Evantime, Wiggle, make the picks work.

[Roy H.]

Updated trade:

Toronto trades: Jennings, 11.1, 12.1
Indiana trades: Lin, 4.7, 9.1

Also, are we back up to 12 rounds?  I thought there was an 11 round edict, which is why we were strong-armed into giving up our 11th rounder?

I don't love Camby.  Golden State is very clearly a future-oriented team, and won't be contending this year.  Therefore, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to draft a guy who only has half a season of leadership left in the tank.

I'd look to deal him.  Vets are good for a young team, but vets with maybe 30 games left in their careers aren't, in my opinion.

Is there an age-appropriate center out there who can be a long term fixture in GSW though?

I am not seeing anyone. They all look like stop-gap signings to me.  

Edit: There are a couple of young guys with potential but they could be probably be added in a future round. And I like having Camby around to bring that player along slower and as a mentor to that player.

I was thinking Splitter might have been a good fit alongside Lee for GSW.
