1. Keyon Dooling is the shizny, he just needs PT.
2.Mako Jaric can play PG easily, when Sani Becirovic is on the floor he almost always plays SG and Jaric plays PG.
3.Maggette has to go, Corey is my 3rd favorite on the Clipps but he has no place, the Wizards are willing to give up a lot and I say take it.
4.Ely should be traded, he likes to be the center of attention on offense and the Clipps have enough offense, trade him to Cleveland for Diop, and Ricky Davis in a sign and trade since Davis is holding out it isn't a problem throwing him in. and then trade Davis to Denver or Chicago for a 1st pick.
5.hold on to Wilcox, the man can play,he's only 19 and in a worst case scenario could hold down center if Kandi has to be traded next year.
6.give Brand a 7 year 63 million contract and Odom a 7 year 60 million contract and give Kandi a 6 year 70 million contract, those are their respective values if they were to sign elsewhere.
7. have Piatkowski do shooting drills with Miles,Wilcox,and Dooling
8. tell Sterling that you can still make a 82% profit by paying your players and getting the playoff bonuses.
and for a game plan:
1.Trade Corey Maggette to Washington for their 2003 1st Pick and Etan Thomas
2. Trade Etan Thomas to Orlando for the pick owed to them, Sacramento's 2003 1st Pick, and Jerryl Sasser.
3. Trade Melvin Ely and Jerryl Sasser to Cleveland for DeSagana Diop and Ricky Davis.
4. Trade Ricky Davis to Chiacago for their 2003 1st Pick, and Jamal Crawford (and a future 2nd if it's not pushing it)
5. and IF Lamar Odom can't get it together next year, trade him, up to 3 of the 1st picks in 2003, and Q for Lebron James
6. Trade Kandi for Sophocles Schortsianitis (or maybe Kresimir Loncar or Kosta Perovic, but Schortsianitis is preffered) and a cap filler in the 2004 draft
this gives the Clipps a optimal lineup of:
PG Jaric Dooling
SG James Piatkowski
SF Miles Fowlkes
PF Brand Wilcox
C Diop Schortsianitis
and five roster spots, 4 of them would be filled by the 2 remaining 2003 1st picks and the 2003 and 2004 2nd picks unless they are traded
Just thoughts maybe not realistic but you never know, and about the trade for James, Odom's value should go back up after the first month of the season when he shows the Cavs and Hrnets why they were dumb not to go after him.
