I don't think he should start... I never thought he would, but my point was he has a usefulness that can't be replaced at this point. It's not all about who starts.

I think eventually Landry will be able to hold his own against those players that Chuck can guard now, but if you need someone to make big defensive stops in a playoff run this year, Landry isn't going to be your guy.

Scola isn't ever going to be bulky enough or fast enough to take on guys like Artest. So defensively he has to rely on smarts and that isn't going to be enough when he's outmatched on a last second play this year.

In the off season, I would say its possible Chuck is trade bait. But for now, they need him.

I want Mike Miller, he can probably be had for cheap.

Ruff Draft

Mike would be a nice additiong. A damn good weapon off the bench. He seems like he could fit the Adelman system too.

Memphis would be all over expirings.

Snyder, James, and 2nd round pick for Miller. Luther will probably be in the deal.

Memphis would not want James' contract and we don't have a 2nd round pick.

Edit: ...unless we take Cardinal's contract.

I don't see how we can get Miller without trading any core guy. So how about Lowry?

Thats a championship winning SF/SG combo
How would you squeeze Miller into the rotation?
Artest would force his way into the rotation but consider the reduced minutes for Bonzi Battier or TMAC.
If we could do a straight swap for Artest Battier or Artest Wells sure it would be awesome but that aint gonna happen.

The place we struggle is PG. Kidd Miller etc would be awesome additions. No to Cardinal in the Lowry trade James only has 2 years remaining Cardinal has 3 years. Plus James has a bigger upside.

Exactly. I think it is the fact that there just aren't very many decent PG's available and everyone is starting to feel like we need to make a move too.

Not exactly the right place to post this but, anyone who includes Mike James in any deal would have to include a first round pick for the other team to accept.

Cornholio

James has a player option for another year.

I feel bad because I "like everyone" as a person on the team, but it is a bussiness.

I would trade Snyder, James, Head, (possibly Hayes) to the Grizzlies for MIKE MILLER. He is on the block, we need a swingman shooter, who fits the offense more alongside Mac/Battier.
Moving James' contract will allow us to resign Bonzi, and you have a team with Youth & experience talored for Aldeman, with defense offense size in the backcourt and rebounding.
Alston, Mac, Battier, Scola, Yao,
bench: AB, Miller, Wells, Novak/Landry, Dke

2 trades.

McGrady + Snyder = Joe Johnson
Battier + James + 2nd round pick = Calderon
