What would you make happen this summer? Blockbuster trades? Somehow entering the draft? Lend a tissue to the entire celtics organisation esp' Mr Simmons?

If i had the control...

Bosh would be told to work on his domninance. He has developed a nice mean streak but that seems to fade under pressure (Notably Playoff time).. If Bosh could develop that dominant mindframe he could have an MVP year...

TJ .. I would hire in a pure point guard of the Stockton mold to show TJ he has the assets he just needs self control..

Bargs more fundamentals and post up.. Maybe some time away with Olajawon and Ming would help.. Lord knows Hakeem owes us...

Caldy.. work on his stroke

Parker.. not much you can tell this vet..

TRADES

I would somehow make it happen to get RaShard Lewis here..

MoP would be gone

Ukic would be brought over

Line Up :

PG - Ford/Caldy/Ukic
SG - Parker/Jackson/Ukic
SF - Lewis/Garbo/Jackson
PF - Bosh/Garbo/Humps/Slokar
C - Bargnani/Nestorovic

Now thats a team I would enjoy hitting the floor.

Also I would like to pick up a draft pick... Maybe for cash considerations?

My Raps team would go 53-29 and take first in the east..

Man do I wish I was BC.. Of course some of this may not be possible without giving up other players maybe a MoP and Ford trade for Lewis and Ridnour would work.. Still either way I would make that trade happen..

Now what does everyone else think?

Only way we could afford Rashard is if we get rid of Rasho's salary unless MLSe does'nt care about going over the cap.

MLSE is not bigger then the NBA.. they cannot make there own rules. While MLSE might not care about going over the cap, the NBA will not let you sign players while your over the cap without matching salaries.

There has to be cheaper alternatives than Rashard Lewis. What about JR Smith? The guy seem to fall out of favor in Denver, he seems to be a guy that we can take a gamble on. Deshawn Stevenson is another guy that we should look at. We need more athleticism on the wings, He doesn't necessarily need to be stud SF like Lewis, just someone who can slash and good enough to guard opposition's swingman.

I am really against breaking up TJ and Calderon. The duo has been good to us last season and was one of our major strengths as a team.

JR Smith is an immature player who can't get along with tough coaches. Not exactly a great fit for us.

i guess i'll write it here: i don't know where all this talk came from of tj being BYC. we were under the cap last year, we were under next year's cap at the time he signed his extension- hell, we're still under the cap for next year.

as far as i know, BYC (base-year compensation) status for all players is wiped clean as soon as the team falls under the cap, and we were never not under the cap. i just don't understand how tj could be BYC this summer.

So you want to post ideas on a message board, and not have them discussed.. ok..

Team:

PG: Calderon/Ukic/Fernandez
SG: Parker/draft pick (Rudy Fernandez)
SF: Garbo/ Jackson/ Graham
PF: Bosh/ Humphries/Slokar
C: Bargnani/Brown/Rasho

Trade: TJ and Dixon to the Lakers for Kwame Brown and the 19th pick which is used to draft Rudy Fernandez.

The Lakers do it because of Kobe's desire to play alongside a capable PG. They add scoring and the true PG that Kobe wants - essentially its a deal to appease the superstar. On top of that, dealing Kwame allows Bynum more minutes and the deal gives Bynum the sign that the position is his to lose.

PG: Ford/Farmar
SG: Kobe/Evans
SF: Odom/Radman
PF: Walton/ Radman
C: Bynum/Mihm

Raps make this deal for a number of reasons. Calderon has shown that he is more than capable of being a starting PG in this league. On top of that, his decision making skills are much better than TJ's and his size is more ideal for a PG in the NBA today. This then allows the Raps to bring over Ukic to become our backup PG. The deal also gives the Raps a good interior presence and rebounder in Brown who only has a year on his contract - if he doesnt perform, we dont need to worry about having to pay a bench-warmer. Finally, with the pick, we can add a player who can fill in the 2/3 role for this team. I think 3 players would be targets with this pick: Rudy Fernandez, Marco Belinelli, or Derrick Byers. I'd take Fernandez personally because of his international experience with the world champions and the fact that we have 2 Spaniards already who will mentor his development.

I'd also resign Jose to an extention, 3yrs/15-18mil sounds about right. As well, I'd give Joey Graham video tapes of the GSW playoff run and make him watch what Matt Barnes did for his team...

I will take that as an apology. Discuss my suggestion by all means but make your own.. Do not sit around acting the cynic when this board needs a bit of a life how about a few contributions of actual worth.

I would hope we could get more offensive pop for TJ in a trade.

And Phil Jackson likes big guards who can shoot to run the triangle offense. I don't see TJ fitting that system at all.

I like sending TJ to Atlanta for Childress or MarvWill. There is our stud wing.

Pick up Jasikevicus or Spanoulis or Banks/Daniels for a Joey Graham/Juan Dixon. There is our backup PG.

Buy a late first round or early second round pick and pick up Tiago Splitter to be our defensive C of the future.

All we really lose is TJ and we put a nice supporting cast around Bosh/Bargs/Jose/Parker/Garbo/Rasho
