Let's just deal with basketball talk and ideas we might like to improve the team. I'll offer a few, which may differ from other's point of view.
Center : Dalembert and healthy Jackson make a low scoring but more than adequete center tandem , especially in the East.Hamilton can be # 3 if you like.
Power forward : Kenny Thomas is a very solid player, just average offensively and a bit short at the position. But an improving , hard worker and decent defender. fine rebounder. Coleman, who I have liked, is out of the picture ASAP., so a back-up , hopefully 6'10" or so, is needed.
Small forward : Robinson was very disappointing.He never cared much for "D" or rebounding , but he has lost athleticism, seems out of condition and just is not the player he once was. A taller sf with a great outside shot would be perfect. Any ideas for a trade, pick-up or rookie?Buckner can leave now. Korver stays as a shooting specialist for limited minutes. He actually passes and rebounds a bit, but his lack of an NBA body and speed relegates him to a specialist. and very bad socks.
Guards: I don't care anymore who you call SG or PG, just need two guards a and a key sub (willie Green) who can do the job.Mckie can stay if all the other pieces fall togerther, as he is a consumate professional, but he needs to play less at his age and body degradation. So its Iverson, immaturity and all and another all around guard or the Iverson talent garnered in a trade (Mc Grady, BAron Davis, Allen whatever)Snow? Useless as a sub, really as he does not add spark off the bench. He is a stability guy, like McKie.
Maybe they can luck out and get Coleman, MacCullogh cap room, or have somebody who still likes Robinson. Or luck in the lottery, where the pickens' seem slim for quick help. If you trade Iverson, Nelson , who may become a Mo Cheeks, would be a fine and local choice.
Coach: I like Doc Rivers best.
