Denver wants Al again

[capstone21]

I say this is our chance to go after Miller.

Maybe a trade of resigned Al/Lue for Miller/Najera would work.

I love Najera's game and he would be an excellent addition to our bench. It also gives us the point guard that could potentially put us into the playoffs. I say this because Miller is a pass first pg and it allows Speedy to play the role he did for the Hornets.

This trade would allow Al to sign for a first year salary of around 9 - 10 million.

Then we grab Cato for some defence insurance at Center.

Miller/Speedy

JJ/Chill/Salim

Marvin/Najera

Smith/Sheldon/Batista

Zaza/Cato/Edwards

I'd love to see Miller or Camby come back for just Harrington.

[Dragitoff]

I actually like that team.......alot.

[scottt]

What is your source for saying that Denver wants Al? I would love Al for Miller. A real point guard would make our young studs develop. What an exciting team this would be.

Not unless Denver trades for another PG first.

[DJlaysitup]

This would make a lot of sense to me - then trade TL to LAL for a bag of donuts.

Want to know what Denver will really offer for Al?

Here's the list of choices IMO. Make any combo you like that works under the CBA rules:

Martin

Najera

Kleiza

Patterson

1st round pick (15-25 range)

If Denver wants Al, methinks a third team would be necessary.

[capstone21]

In my proposal Lue is part of the deal. Denver can then go after Francis with Martin.

Unless their GM is an idiot (well, uhm), then they would want to trade Martin first.

[Guest]

For Denver to take on Harrington it just doesn't make any sense.

Martin

Camby

Nene

Melo

Thats already crowded, and they want to add Al? Doesn't make sense unless one of them is gone.

You're right, which is why Martin would have to be traded first. Even so, they would still have major contract commitments to Nene, Harrington, Anthony, Francis, and Camby, even if they traded Miller and Martin.

[capstone21]

I think they are a win now mode anyway. That is why they went after Nene and show Melo they are willing to try to put the pieces together to make their team successful.

Yes, but they're not in a "win at any costs mode." Taking on Harrington without sending a major contract back would put them over the luxury tax next year.

I can guarantee they won't want to do that unless they have traded Kenyon Martin for a shooter first.

[capstone21]

Martin for Francis would ease up the crowd. NY not to long ago really wanted Martin. There is to much of a crowd with Marbury and Francis. It would work.

[Weez]

they are...to a degree (primarily because Miller and Camby, esp. the latter) are aging...and they'll have to reload once those two age out.

Also, just for the record...Miller is NOT a pass-first pg. He's a combo guard with very good court vision...but he pulls a lot of one on one's to the hoop/shot

[capstone21]

He still is an excellent point guard with size and as you said court vision.

With him and JJ in the backcourt you have more then enough ball movement/passing to get this team rolling.

[Nicholasp27]

al to ny

francis to denver

miller/najera (or miller/1st) to atlanta

[Geo]

I would love to see Andre in our team.We need point guard who can make plays and run the court.

I think we could make a good playoff run with him!

[capstone21]

That works for me too but I think Denver wants to acquire Al and they still want to get rid of Martin. We hopfully would not be stupid enough to take on Martin so I see it more on the side of:

Denver receives

AL/Lue/Francis

Atlanta receives

Miller/Najera

NY receives

Martin
