Gameplan for Hawks...

[Diesel]

ONE Name.

Johan Petro.

With Swift and Sene, Seattle has moves to make. I think Moving Petro would be one of those moves. He's fairly cheap and if they could get rid of one of their longterm contracts, he could possibly be on the blocks.

Petro is big, strong, and defensive. He's plays for France and has been developing his offense.

If I had to propose a trade....

Stodamire/Chillz for Petro/Collison

[jezmund]

That looks like Pietrus.

Petro...Pietrus. Who really cares? We need a Frenchman to replace Diaw and we need one NOW!!!!!!

[Diesel]

Yeah, it is. My Bad. However, the sentiment is still the same, we should target one of Seattle's big three. I think Petro is the one that they would be most willing to give up.

Yeah bring in another Project Bigman. The last picture that I saw of Petro he looked like a younger version of Manute Bol. We already have 6'10 Soloman Jones whom we will be developing in the NBDL this year. We need someone with some size and I am not talking about height.

I think there is a flawed premise to your assertion. Petro's salary is so low, there is little incentive for them to move him. He may be expendable for the right price, but it's not as if they are looking for some team to "unload" him on.

Hey now...keep it clean :-)

That is a fine point.

However, I think roster space and PT becomes more and more important as the player gets to the end of their first contract. It's alright if it's just Swift/Petro. However, what happens when you throw Sene in the mix. I think Petro starts to believe that he will get better playing time elsewhere. And he would.

Of the three, I think Petro is the one that they are more likely to deal. Also understand that Seattle will deal for only what they need. I think with Lewis being able to go free agent at Season's end, their need becomes Sf. That's why I think they'd be interested in a deal involving Chillz. And they'd probably want to give up Collison too.

[Final_quest]

Is Petro's contract up this summer?

I think he can get extended just like Smoove and Chilldress. Besides, would Petro get anymore PT here with Zaza and Lo playing?

[Blunt91]

LOL very funny DJ.

...but I'd prefer their main courses (Sene).

Petro's the best table scrap out there at C...think about it definately.

I doubt Seattle parts with Sene for any price.

I doubt that Seattle Parts with Swift... For any price.

Petro is better than Both Swift and Sene (However, Swift is rapidly closing in).

I don't consider Petro "table scraps" for the simple reason that if Seattle had not drafted Sene, Petro would be untouchable too.

How can you argue the 1st two lines and then somehow come up with the 3rd. Ridiculous.

I wouldn't mind Petro either, but don't play him up to be a potential game changer like Sene. He's a good prospect, not a very good one.
