Alright, alright... Enough buckets of cold water have been dumped on my 'Dre-to-the-Warriors scheme that I'm backing off.
If Paxson is going to ship Miller out, he clearly wants a dynamic youngster in return who will put butts in seats, but not push the win total out of the "Lebron sweepstakes" range.
So... how about Andre Miller to Denver for Hilario and George McCloud, or to Miami for Caron Butler (the one Paxson wanted in the first place on draft night) and Mike James?
I particularly like the trade to the Heat. They still have a huge hole at small forward if they give up Butler, but again, that's much easier to fill than a huge hole at point guard. And a lineup of Miller, Mourning, Grant and Jones should attract a decent 3 in the exemption slot.
