Ratliff + Henderson for Hardaway + Outlaw + 1st?

[cyman3]

works under REAL GM.

PROS- makes absolutely perfect sense for both teams. The hawks get one of the best ballhandlers over 6'6" and an all around player averaging 4-5 assists and 4-5 rebounds per game. Not to mention, he can give us a steal or two a game. We also get rid of Henderson's contract. As for the suns, they were 1 center away from beating the Spurs. Offense is no problem since they have Marion, Marbury, Stoudemire. What makes it work is that Joe Johnson whos coming up real nice and can start at the 2guard.

CONS- is Penny reliable? Pennys contract is 3 more years (including this year).

Since Ratliff is more reliable than Penny, i think its fair that they give us a first rounder as insurance. But a lineup of Ratliff/Stoudemire/Marion/Johnson/Marbury can make some noise in the WEST.

we end up competiting again with the east.

PG- Terry, Dickau

SG- A Hardaway, Hansen

SF- Diaw, Crawford

PF- Abdur-Rahim, Outlaw
