If karma is on our side McHale will get fired in December/January and Hoiberg will be promoted to lead GM. If that happens we have some tough choices to make as far as the draft goes.

Our biggest weakness right now is the gaping hole at center. Now, I've said for a while that Jefferson is perfectly capable of playing there, but the team doesn't seem to agree. Should we draft DeAndre Jordan? He can play center.

On the other hand, we seem to be tanking by playing our crappy veterans and not the young guys (specifically Smith, Green, and Brewer). So unless karma goes against us (which only happens if McHale stays as GM), we're going to be in the Derrick Rose / Michael Beasley discussion.

Can we really pass up on a special talent like Rose to feel a "need" at center.... one that we don't really "need" that much since already have Jefferson. Here's a scenario I like at the trading deadline:

Foye comes back in December and - since his only competition is Telfair and Jaric - he puts up decent enough numbers. At the trading deadline we use him as bait for a team with a need at PG.... I'm thinking the Atlanta Hawks who are loaded at the SF position but have nothing much at PG. We pawn off Foye for Josh Childress (who's going to be getting few minutes with the emergence of Marvin Williams). Then we draft Rose and have a future lineup of:

Rose / Telfair
McCants / Green
Childress / Brewer / Gomes
Smith / Gomes / Jefferson
Jefferson / gaping hole

Thoughts?
