Gerald Wallace would be the absolute perfect fit for us at small forward. I'm not sure if there's anyone in the league that would fit better. He gives us the defense, rebounding, athleticism that we sorely need at that position, and the versatility to move to the power forward spot. It maybe a pipe dream, but wow if BC could pull it off I don't see how we dont win the East with Ford, Wallace, Bosh, and Bargnani.

As for Outlaw, I like him, but give up Calderon for him? Are you kidding me? That would be an awful trade that BC wouldn't even think twice about. I would give Outlaw 3-4 million a year, isn't he a free agent? I don't think Portland would want to overpay with all the prospects they have on the wings

This is where I hope BC gets creative and goes for a Gerald Wallace type SF, probably the most coveted SF on the free agent market, most likely through a sign and trade of some sort.

If we were to trade Calderon, I'd want it to be for player of Wallaces calibre.

I agree. BC doesn't have too many cards in his hand and Jose is probably the best one. I would have no problem seeing Calderon play for another team as long as we get a player that could have an equal impact on the team.

I'd be very hesitant to deal Calderon, but I do have a question; who would you all rather deal, Jose or TJ?

Well, it would really have to depend on the deal. You won't get identically trades with TJ and Calderon because of their huge salary difference (like 6 mil). It's hard to say who I would rather let go but if the deal is right both are trade-able in my opinion.

I don't see why we have to let either one of them go though. Ford is getting 8 million a year and I think Calderon will stay for 6-7 mil. It is a bit pricey for the point guard spot but it's not overly expensive if you compare with other teams starting/backup pg. Indiana is paying 11 mil for Tinsley and Daniels, Cleveland is paying 10 mil for Eric Snow and Damon Jones, Atlanta is paying 10 mil for Speedy and Lue, Chicago is paying 11 mil on Hinrich alone, Seattle pays 11 mil for Ridnour and Watson. None of these combos are better than Jose and TJ, and we will only pay 13-14 mil at the most for the 2 of them, it's fair imo.

^ I love our PG situation, but we just might have to break up the tandem if we want to get better. Just like last year when we dealt Charlie for TJ, an unpopular trade at the time, but one that helped us get better.

P.S....I think you can officially take down Jizzy's sig.

It's a tough one for me.

I like both. Jose is the better point guard at the moment. but TJ has the potential to be lethal at the position, one of the best in the league. Jose really impressed me in the playoffs and Ford did the exact opposite.

At this very moment I think I'd trade Ford first, just because he could get us someone better.

I'm leaving this sig on after VC's performance.

Looking at the espn free agent list, dahntay jones and jarvis hayes might be other possibilities. Don't know much about Hayes' athleticism.

Dee-Zy

hayes is known for his athleticism actually no? He was just very unlucky with all the injuries, he never really got a chance to go off, I remember he put up nice numbers this year when he was healthy (I don't know if he was healthy the whole year or not though).

Jones is a good defender but he doesn't have the offensive set to keep up, IMO. Kind of like a Quinton Ross-type player.

Hayes doesn't seem to have a lot of potential. From the times we played him, he seemed to like to jack shots.

SkywalkerAC

Hayes was athletic coming in but he's never displayed much in the NBA. I think he's got significant knee issue to go with his other injuries.
