not that many upper-tier guys, so i think we should go after some younger guys cuz at least they're realistic.. any ideas?

a few suggestions first:
Gorgui Dieng
Jon Henson
Timofey Mozgov

Why don't we give Jeremy Tyler a shot? He's young and wicked cheap.

I would also go hard after Oden and take him away from Miami.

we're tanking again, so expect to see a d-leaguer or unsigned rookie center signed.

What's up with the Oden stuff on this board again? He's DONE!! Not worth the paper you would sign him on. ::)

Going after young guys seems less realistic because teams are going to be reluctant to give up on cheap prospects.  Just because a guy might be coming off the bench doesn't mean he is easily or cheaply available.

Would give up Sullinger and a first for Dieng or Mozgov?

Id do Sully for Dieng. Maybe he could bring Love with him.  :P

I don't think Dieng will be available in any trades.  Trading away a 24 year old coming off of his rookie season, which he showed much promise in.. especially later on doesn't make much sense for the rebuilding Wolves once Love is gone.

I do think Henson is a great option to look at though.  The Bucks are planning on starting Giannis at SF, Parker at PF and Sanders at C.  Looks like Henson is the odd man out.  He was available in trade rumors last season.  Should be even more available now.

I think he'd be a good fit next to Sully and Oly.  Good fit with Rondo too.

What do you guys think the Bucks would demand for him?

What about Channing Frye? Stretches the floor and has a big body. With a rotation with Fav that could be viable until a true solution comes along.

Maybe Bismac Biyombo...he played only 13 min agate last year and with Noah on the team and Zellers 2nd year... he is less likely to play.

I agree with myself this is the most realistic so far ;D

i do like the idea of bismack... please no channing frye, he's just another stretch 4 to add to our list of stretch 4s..

i think a bismack for avery trade would be fair for both sides?
