What we should do
It all starts with Larry Bird entering the Pacers organization. Because the Pacers are trying to deal with a few problems. Yes, they were able to keep Jermaine, but now they still have to sign both of the Miller's (Brad and Reggie). Plus, Artest said he didnt want to play next to J'Oneal again. So he wants out. So they're overall problem, is lack of cash. The second problem is what Miami will do with eddie jones. They are trying to move forward and they found their new gaurd in Wade, so jones may be just dust on the table. They would much rather have a player like Artest, to take pressure off of Wade. So heres what might happen. Tell me what you think.
Minnesota sends TB's contract to the Pacers so that they can sign both Brad and Reggie.
Indiana then sends Artest, who doesnt want to play with Jermaine, to Miami.
Miami then sends Eddie Jones to Minnesota.
This would make our team much better. But there is also another more favorable, but less likely, situation involving these 3 teams.
Minnesota sends Wally and TB's contract to the pacers.
Indiana sends Ron Mercer and Austin to the Heat.
Minnesota recieves both Artest and EJ.
Minny's Starting lineup
PG-Sam Cassell
SG-Eddie Jones
SF-Ron Artest
PF-Kevin Garnett
C-Kandiman
Indy's Starting lineup
PG- Jamaal Tinsley
SG- Reggie Miller
SF- Wally
PF- Jermaine
C- Brad Miller
Miami's Controversial Starting Lineup
PG- Anthony Carter, i think he's ready for the responsibility that goes with this position. Wade will also take a little pressure off.
SG- Dwayne Wade
SF- Caron Butler
PF- Brian Grant
C- This is still to be determined. They need to find that big ZO replacement.
P.S. The wolves should find a way to sign both Shawn Kemp and Steve Smith. Two veteran ex-olympians. Both can still play, they just need minutes. Take a chance Mchale.
So minny's lineup might look somethin like this
Starters :
G- Cassell
G- Jones
F- Artest
F- Garnett
C- Olowakandi
Bench :
G- T-hud
G- S. Smith
F- Ndudi Ebi
F- Marc Jackson
C- Ervin Johnson
F/C- John Wallace
G- Igor Rakocevic
