First of all to Turtle and the other guy who said I have too much time on my hands, I do.
1. Dre, Brand, Odom and Kandi should be signed to 7 year 60 million dollar contracts each, that gives them money and keeps them together.
2. Sign Maggette to a 7 year 40 million dollar contract, because with Dre Maggette is more valuable than Q and Q wants the max for some crazy-wacko-insane reason.
3. Trade Q to the Bulls for their 2003 1st and JCraw
4. Trade JCraw, 2003 2nd, 1 mil cash to Memphis for Memphis' 2003 1st via Houston, and a filler (maybe Antonin Fotis).
5. Trade Marko Jaric to Denver for their 2003 and 2005 1st picks and a filler. (this is what Kiki Vanderweghe was offering, I wonder if it's still on the table)
6. Trade 2003 2nd, Bryant Stith, 1 mil cash to Orlando for the 1st pick owed to them and a filler who will clear cap for the Duncan sweepstakes. (probably Sasser or Hunter)
7. Sign Wil Avery or Smush Parker depending on if they're signed.
This gives the Clipps Denver's, Chicago's, and Houston's 1st picks in addition to their own, it lets the Clipps keep Wilcox for a year (and he CAN find PT at PF and SF).
8. in the 2003 Draft there is Denver's,Chicago's,Houston's and the Clipps own pick plus Wilcox and maybe also Dooling to deal for Lebron James if one of the picks doesn't win the lotto.....and if no trade can be reached (ie the Cavs win the lotto) then the Clipps can draft 4 good prospects and trade a few or keep a few in Europe (that would replenish the traded talent plus some).
but in the optimal situation the roster is:
PG Dre/Wil Avery or Smush Parker/
SG James/Maggette/Piatkowski
SF Odom/Fowlkes
PF Brand/Ely
C Olowokandi/
+ the fillers from the Memphis,Denver,Orlando trades, and the filler from any trade for Lebron James....so that leaves two spots for FAs and C and SF are the needs so an undrafted Euro center and a athletic undrafted SF would work (I'm thinking of Andreas Glynakalidis the 7-1 280 lb Greek center and Houston College's George Williams, they're both really raw though).....it would be cool and isn't that much of a stretch but trading for James will be easier than people think as long as Cleveland doesn't get him.
