I really truly would not be surprised if we start Diaw at PG and have Delk to back him up. The way he works is in a true PG sense. He isn't worried about scoring, he's worried about distributing the ball to where it needs to go. Diaw / Delk / Ivey J-Chill / D. Smith Harrington / J-Smooth Walker / CC Drob / Collier / Ekezie Anyway you put it, I think Diaw is going to get major minutes. He'll stay in when J-Chill sits and Delk will play SG. There will be moments when Delk will play PG, but I don't see it happening to much. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have Anderson as well so that we could put Ivey on IR. But why spend if you don't ABSOLUTELY have to? Side note: Any thoughts on Junior Harrington? He played pretty well this off-season.

It's great having you around graymule. You are the light on many a dreary conversations. I wish for you a Happy Birthday and many more in the future!

1. He will NEVER change his mind through listening/understanding another poster. 2. He will NEVER let the topic die/be 'squashed'. 3. He will NEVER allow you to have the last word. And those are just a few. If I tried really hard I could probably come up with at least seven more. – – – – – – – – – – – – With that being said, I'd have to say that random trade thoughts, although posted on the WRONG Forum, are fun to look/laugh at. HOMECOURT would be slightly boring eitherwise. What you could do to defeat these pesky trade proposal threads is exactly what I do... DON'T POST ON THEM. That kills the thread quicker and there then becomes space for more informative items. See above on why arguing with Diesel on these threads are particularly devastating to you and your time. =P

Very nice to hear these words coming from outside this forum.

Quote: Diaw / J. Harrington? J-Chill / Hansen A. Harrington / J-Smooth Walker / CC Dampier? / Collier" Who are you trying to kid? That team is a pile of crap. Not scoring from the guards and a SF playing PG. Very stupid. DID YOU EVEN READ MY POST?! Oh wait, I forgot. You just hear what you want to hear and tangle all the rest of the details. F*ck man, read the details before you retaliate.

A348yagh9ay8 9a8y4r9ah a oh a97 tan aughva And that's all I have to say to you, Hotlanta. Your negativity and tunnel-vision is coming back in a HUGE way.

Walker doesn't really fit in our system. But AI does on so many levels. Essentially, we are trading JT/Hendu for one of the best players in the league (which he still is). That's a win/win in my book. AI is JT upgraded. And this would PROVE to Damp that we ARE going to be better. Diaw / Delk AI / Hansen J-Chill / J-Smooth A. Harrington / CC Dampier / Collier That lineup sounds MUCH better than the one I described with Walker in it. I would love this on so many levels.

How interesting could this be? We DEFINITELY need to get a PG or two this off-season if this is true. Diaw can handle it, but not full time. I know Walker is another point forward-type, but that doesn't make him or PG. Diaw / J. Harrington? J-Chill / Hansen A. Harrington / J-Smooth Walker / CC Dampier? / Collier I don't know about you, but this is scary to me, and not in a good way. If it happens, I will show my total support for BK and not say anything bad about it because I'm sure he has a master plan going for him. If anything, I see this as more capspace for next year. Walker's and CC's contract off in the same year; now that's scary in a good way! Definitely-definitely need a PG!

What's funny is that I'm not sure that we have room on our team for either. We have too many young players that we want to develop and, while I'm not against re-signing Sura, it would slow their development. If we were to sign Sura and Dampier... JT / Diaw / Ivey Sura / Hansen / Donta Diaw / J-Chill / CC Harrington / J-Smooth / CC Dampier / Collier / Hendu Not bad. We seem to have depth, even though it is comprised of rookies and sophmores. Thing is, can J-Chill be our backup SF for a time and can J-Smooth leap into PF so soon? I CANNOT BELIEVE how many players we have that can play multiple roles on our team! It's so exciting!

Thanks for the clarification. To me, J-Smooth is a little to big to be playing SG. He'd have difficulty guarding the pros at that position IMO. I think he'd be good the first year or so at SF but I really hope that he can make the leap to PF pretty quickly. He seems more fit to play that position than Harrington does. Now, if we were to get Nene, I believe that he would be playing C for us which allows for Harrington to play PF with J-Smooth developing behind him and Diaw at SF. I think this would also cancel the need for Dampier. JT Hansen Diaw Harrington Nene If we were to get Dampier as well then our lineup would probably look like this. JT / Diaw / Ivey Diaw / J-Chill / Hansen / Donta Harrington / J-Smooth / CC Nene / Hendu / CC Dampier / Collier / Hendu In this version, not only would Hansen be restricted in minutes (development), either Donta or Ivey would have to go on IR.

Diesel - I noticed that you have mentioned J-Smooth at SG a few times in the past week or so. Are you mistaking J-Smooth (Josh Smith) with J-Chill (Josh Childress)? From what I've read J-Smooth is a SF verging on PF, far from being a SG. On a side note, I see Hansen starting above J-Chill, at least at the start of the season. I believe Hansen will fill the role Sura played at the end of last season. JT / Diaw / Ivey Hansen / J-Chill / Donta Diaw / J-Smooth / CC Harrington / CC / Hendu Dampier (hopefully) / Collier / Hendu

Oh God, let this be televised. Er... Wait, nevermind that. To scary I think.

Who better to have as a Veteran big man helping to teach our young guys. I think he'd be good for us. Sign him for three years at a good price to be ready for the big men that appear in FA then. JT J-Chill Diaw Lil' Al Divac I think I'd still like to have Dampier, just don't want to pay to much for him.

I like him as well, though this could be a product of me being a big Wildcats fan. If I remember him correctly, he does seem to fight the BK mold. Could someone comfirm or deny that?
