ANU
Starter
so donnie needs to do all he can to fill those spots of need this team has with studs.i think skinny eddy could be in san antonio(as some poster said in one of the more recent threads) by the all star break if all goes well.so I'm not to worried about the guy.the only 2010 free agent i want on this team is lebron james(cause it wouldn't feel right if they won a championship with 2 super hired guns).we need young guys that'll be here long enough for lebron to think "dynasty", and we need those young guys to prove their worth this season with a playoff run.
those are the reasons i wouldn't be against taking baron davis for the sake of getting blake griffin.this is why i'd trade lee to the pistons for the 15(if its blair or lawson)and this is why I'd like donnie to buy the fith pick from te wizards for curry.
trade harrington+3 mill in cash for baron davis+pick
cutino mobley+3mill for etan thomas and mike james+5th pick
s&t lee to detroit for the kwame lol brown, and amir johnson+15 pick
(lawson or blair, or whoever they draft)
salary cap for next year
baron davis 12,150,000
kwame brown 4,100,000(expires after this season)
amir johnson 3,666,666(expires after this season)
etan thomas 7,350,000 (expires after this season)
mike james 6,466,600 (expires after this season)
quintin richardson 9,352,500(expires after the season)
larry hughes 13,655,268 (expires after this season)
eddy curry 10,500,423
jared jefrries 6,466,600
chris duhon 6,031,800(expires after this season)
danilo gallinari 3,089,040
wilson chandler 1,255,440
blake griffin 4,000,000( since the salary cap may go down to 57.3 million , i'd imagine that rookie salaries would as well.)
curry 3,000,000
derozan 2,500,000
15 pick 1,000,000 give or take
that's an estimate of about $94,000,000 give or take,for the 2009-2010 season. with $ 47,322,834 coming off the books for 2010-2011, aka the summer of lebron with around $38,000,000 on the cap.
the salary cap was set at 58.68 million this past season, and it's reported that it MAY drop to 57.3 million for this upcoming season
the roster COULD LOOK LIKE THIS
davis/curry
james/derozan
gallinari/derozan
chandler/blair?
griffin
15 pick(blair ideally)
we'd need to sign a back up c for cheap.
obviously, we need a couple more players than A 2 VETERANS OR 3
(it depends what kinda contract lebron gets)to be more than formidable, and alot of this hinges on alot dificult scenarios, but this is new york.you gotta shoot for shit like this.or atleast try.
this was horrible to write by the way.:gony:
this team doesn't make something happen this offseason, get to the playoffs next season, and show some potential for the future 2010 might not mean shit.lebron wants a championship.and he learned he can't do it all on his own.
anybody who has any crazy ass realistically possible scenarios post them if you'd liek too.
EDIT: I FORGOT THE 5TH, AND 8TH PICKS.
edit again.i ****ed up the math a bit.lol.

that's a little under 20 mill in cap space with that salary cap.IF JEFFRIES AND CURRY GET SENT PACKING, that's another 17 mill in caps space, to a total 37 mill in cap space, where we'd get lebron for a 3 year 23 mill? contract?
