I think that's a pretty good distribution. Those are averages too. Foul trouble and hot-hands will dictate further the distributiion. I think the deal could work. I'd hate to lose Crawford's scoring ability off the bench, but Nash could open the floor up. You could have him Joe, and Bibby on the floor at the same time (although that'd be rough defensively for Nash and Bibby). Think of the open looks Bibbs and Joe would get with Nash cutting to the basket.

You've convinced me Dragitoff...I'll make some phone calls and see what I can do :cool:

P.S. - I can just see them trying to sell this move to Bibby. "Mike, if we do this we need you to be onboard with it. We are gonna be upfront with you...it will mean less minutes and it will also require you to shoot more when you're in to help make up for the loss of Crawford. Can you live with fewer minutes and more shots?"

Bibbs: "Hmmmm :jumping11: ..."

I just don't think they would do it for so little. But if we can somehow retain Joe, Josh and Al AND get Nash, sign me up whatever that deal is.

Our bench would be real thin, but it'd be worth it to see what these guys could do with Nash.

their fans want horford or smoove - lol they can keep him if that's the case.

Granted our 1st rounder won't be worth all that much (besides, they've had plenty of them before)...but Craw "expiring" would be pretty valuable. He would possibly be able to keep a few butts in the seats for them this year and next year is difficult to predict anyway with the possible labor thingy.

We could make our best offer and they make their best offer - then, if they aren't the same, bring in BK as a mediator of the deal (and they'd get two more first round picks)
