Something to get the juices flowing on this lovely BBQ-ing em-dee-dub. Feel free to comment with your thoughts, but try to be succinct because nobody (especially me) likes reading page long posts in the comments. If you have a lot to say, fanpost it. That's all I got for ya, enjoy the weather, I'm off to suck down some more hot dogs.

I would consider trading Iguodala if it helped get us back in the lottery to pick Wes Johnson or Cousins if either or them slide.
I would trade Iguodola, Young, Speights, and Williams to Minn. or NJ for the opportunity to draft Favors….
Holiday, Turner, Favors, would be amazing building blocks and the rest of the team can be stiffs for all I care for the next year or two as we slowly fill in the other pieces through the draft…
ugh.
1.) What do you plan on getting back for these four players besides Favors? Salaries have to match.
2.) That leaves our team with no one to play SF and no backup PG and C.
3.) Why would you trade the best player on our team (currently) without seeing if he will make a good pair with Turner?
4.) What makes you think NJ (because it would be stupid to take the #4 pick and think you’re going to get Favors at that spot) is willing to take on a third of our roster in exchange for their #3 pick? That’s without even considering the fact that they have cap space to spend on FAs this summer.
To answer your questions in reverse order….
4) No I do not know if Minn at 4 does it (and I would not do it if Favors is not there). But if he is, I do propose it. And I am fully aware that if NJ was interested, we would have to take garbage from them to match salaries.
3) He might make a good match with Turner. So that brings us to mediocre and we are stuck there for years… No thanks.
2) Correct. We would not have anyone great to play SF or backup PF and C.
But we would have a very YOUNG and Excelltent trio of PG, SG, and PF to grow with. And this team would not be good at first and we would get more lotto picks to fill in the missing pieces while these guys are still young. By the time these guys get good otherwise, AI9 would be in his 30s…..Rebuild totally is the way to a future championship caliber team as opposed to a midlevel team
1) I plan on getting back garbage. Whatever works salary wise…. I do not care what we get back…. The shorter the salaries the better…
This is the nuclear option and we were given a big head start on it by getting #2
I chose EB. The poll doesn’t say who or what they are being traded for, so we have to use our imagination. In most every discussion of trading EB, the Sixers are giving up a bunch of other value just to unload the contract of the guy who is currently their best PF, at least in the half court. Those trades are worse for the team than the one’s my imagination fills in for the other players. Of course I would choose differently if we were instructed to pretend that the NBA works like the NFL where we can just dump salaries and use them some other way.
I guess you're right
but if I could get rid of EB and his contract by himself I would do it in a heartbeat. He has the 3rd worst contract in the NBA right now, behind Gilbert Arenas and Rashard Lewis
I put Turner in at the last second, but I guess I should’ve done it without him since it’s overwhelmingly in his favor. I’ll go punish myself now.
