What would you have done on the deadline?

Monta Ellis.  The guy can score on any day.  I wonder how he would have fit between Rondo and Jeff Green.  I think I would have liked that very, very much.  As much as I love Ray, it would be foolish not to package Ray with the Bucks' 2nd and our 2nd to get Ellis.  I might have traded a top-10 protected 1st with a pile of expirings (JO, Wilcox, Dooling) to see that come together.

I would have tried harder for Monta for sure.

Milsap or another solid MLE-level big worth his money.  The Clippers' 1st plus JO's expiring?  A dream next to the three above (if Ray had to go).

I can't imagine the other teams not rejecting these trades.

I would've traded KG and Ray for LeBron and Bosh. 

Really, this is all pointless.  Ideally, we all would've liked to upgrade the roster.  Just because we "would" have done it, doesn't mean that it could've happened. 

The OP says we could've "tried" for Beasley.  Who said we didn't?

It depends on what someone thinks of Bogut/Jackson for Ellis.  Both very damanged goods.  I'd rather have a decent 1st and expirings.

For Milsap, they're just loaded at the position and would perhaps move him for a 1st+filler as well.

And then you have

Rondo
Ellis
JGreen
Milsap

With Pierce off the bench (or starting for Green) and KG in the middle, that's a formidable top-6 lineup.

Sub Okafor for Ellis and I don't like it as much.  A Green, Milsap, Okafor front line would need a top-scoring SG next to Rondo.

Sub Okafor for Milsap and I like it quite a lot again, still with KG and Pierce, but not so good for the money.

Ellis moved.  Okafor and Milsap should have.  I wouldn't have held Ray's price so high.  I'd have let picks go for a chance to contend with proven players.  It's too hard to make a contender to cheap out on one when you're 2 players away and have dead weight and picks.  I'm rambling now.  Just wish something would have happened at least...

I would have pushed harder for hickson

You're right it's pointless.  We did "try" for Beasely.  It was already reported that we had conversations.  

We still have people wondering why we didn't pick up an allstar or almost  allstar  (like Milsap was this year) for a low to mid #1 and JO's contract!!!

If nothing else...Wilcox contract and a future 2nd for Kurt Thomas.
