7-2 290lbs, free agent center Jake Tsakalidis', offer has just been macthed by the Grizzilies. And here are the power forwards under contract:
Brian Cardinal,
Ryan Humphrey,
Sergei Lishouk,
Bo Outlaw,
Stromile Swift
And here are the centers under contract:
Jake Tsakalidis,
Pau Gasol,
Lorenzen Wright
This all means now is the time to acquire Swift!
Whom and how much could we offer for him? It seems to me Kurt ain't an option for Mem cuz they're already packed with big men.
I'm thinking of three teams deal:
Shareef and Anderson from Portland, Kurt, Moochie and Shandon from us and Stro show from Mem. So Derek, Shandon/Moochie would end up in Mem, we'd aquire Stromile/Shareef and Portland could get Stro/Reef (depending on whom do we get) and Moochie/Shandon (depending on whom we'll send to Mem).
That would be a great deal for all three teams.
No GM that like working would ever make that trade. Yeah, it would be nice to get someone as athletic as Swift. But to get a dog contract like Anderson? Our best chance was to take Eddie Robinson from the Bulls and have that contract expired next year. The only chance we have for Swift would be to trade KT or TT. But with salary difference, even that a longshot.
Memphis won't be taking in any more guards, they have more guards than they do big men.Originally Posted by newmove
Well, at least I've tried.
We could also involve KT and AH in the deal. But Allan is old, injuried and has a bad contract. TT? maybe, but we have to be sure we get some very good big guy instead.
AND Portland does not need an unhappy PF with a heavy contact so 'Reef is a possibility.
