Plan B is to get Iguodala or Anderson Varejao/Gibson

[hometheaterguy]

Didn't Stat have a monster season at the 4 alongside Robin Lopez?

STAT's productivity numbers have always been higher as a 5. STAT's offensive numbers went down behind SHAQ and Lopez. STAT's effectiveness is higher when he is the 5 because 98% of the centers in the league can not guard him. He is not a good defender at all so whether he is at the 4 or 5 is irrelevant on the defensive side since he doesn't body up his man. He is a great rebounder and shot blocker but not a great defender. When he is at the 4, his man takes him off the dribble where at the 5 he is always a step quicker that who he is guarding with the exception of 2 or 3 centers (Howard as 1 example). Also, when at the 5 he forces his man to leave the paint to guard him so that causes defensive mis-matches and forces the other team to double outside the paint.

Varejao is Turiaf 2.0

Boobie would be a nice spot up shooter. Hopefully we could do better, but I would not mind those two.

[moneyg]

no to iggy unless u can get holiday which wont happen

better off resigning chandler.. iggy is only a slight upgrade

varajo.. while he has a long contract.... is resonable at 8 mil per and he is a glue type playing..

amare, varajo would be good compliment to oneanother

MAN, how good could this starting 5 be:

Felton
Iggy
Chandler or Gallo
STAT
Varejo

Fields. Turiaf. Williams

Varejo

Fields. Turiaf. Williams

That is a great defensive team.



What about OJ Mayo? He's played very well recently since he was put back in the starting lineup while Gay was out. He had 27 points on Sat. night against the Spurs. 5-8 from 3-point line.

Felton
Mayo
Gallo
Amare
Varejao

w/ Gibson, Fields, Chandler, Williams and Turiaf off the bench.


Trade Curry + Randolph to Cleveland for Varejao + Booby
Trade Azubuike + Douglas to Memphis for Mayo

[LJ4ptplay]

Seriously. We should get Varejao and Gibson just so we can have Booby and the **** on our team.

Sounds like a bad morning radio show.... "Listen to Booby and the **** on WFAN in the mornings."

[Knicksfansince92]

Iggy ain't that bad of a player he is a solid glue-guy type allstar Like a Smaller Lamar Odom because he can ball handle he is unselfish and rebounds well. I would like him on the Knicks, as for Varejo and Booby yes to Varejo

HELL NO! to Booby. I have watched I great number of Cavs games and I will tell you guys if you hate TD shooting on breaks and not looking for the open man the you are going to hate this guy. I say we go after Ramon Session because he is a heady player knows his limits which are from within 18 ft and is a great passer also gets into the lane and gets to the line alot.

Projected Record Note:
Projected records are based on the PER of the players in each team’s post-trade rotation. Taking into account the players traded and the ability of their replacements, it is possible for each team in a trade to have a better projected record, or for each team to have a worse one, or for one team to be better and another to be worse by a different number of games.

forget varejao! go get marc gasol!!!! and they should get mayo while theyre at it!
felton, mayo, ?, amare, gasol!

[metrocard]

Iggy at 13 million --> 15million is better value and arguably a better fit for this team than Melo at 18million--> 22 million.

Ray
Iggy
Gallo
STAT

>>>>

Ray
Melo
Gallo
STAT

[OriginalKnickGrandson]

Hope this is plan C or D.

I hope Donnie (if no Mello) will go for a starting Center like MaGee from Washington or Tyson Chandler from Dallas.

Then he can go after a SG and Back-up PG. Maybe OJ Mayo from Menphis and then maybe Telfair from Minny.

Felton/Telfair/Routins
OJ/Fields/Walker
Gallo/Williams/Walker
Amare/Williams
Magee or T.Chandler/Mozgov

I left out player's such as AR,Azabuke,Wilson,Turiaf,Mason and TD.

Chandler- gone at seasons end anyway
Azabuke- will have most of his salary paid by the league due to injury.
Turiaf- well every team need a guy like this.... except a Mike D team (no offense)
AR- potential
Mason and TD- both good combo guards


AND THE BEST PART WILL BE....... KEEPING EDDY'S EXPIRING CONTRACT!

A lot of the ^^ trades are tight. trillion's especially is a really refined three way deal.

Two things still stick out to me, latter being the most important:

Iggy not being traded,and if he is it will be for 80cents to the dollar type value. So if we want unique defensive ability from a non big, let's look elsewhere.

Us not needing a starting C to be brought in. Key word, starting. And the dollars that will invariably come w it.

STAT plays his best ball as a 5. Or just as effective as at the 4. He's an allstar Center. With the run n gun, SSOL-like offense, there isn't the more rigid hierarchy of positions like in more traditional offenses, too.

There's a fluidity. Which STAT seizes upon, by being strong enough to hold his own versus legit "centers", but his explosion and finesse unable to be contained by them.

I agree he needs "help". Help =s a non-starter who can get into the mix when STAT rests, or strategically playing alongside STAT when we want to mix it up w that element and confound/confuse teams.

In tandem, we want this "center" to be defensive and help bridge the gap in our offensive prowess versus defensive ability. Boost both, but stick to the braes and butter we have.

**that is the key**

A traditional, defensive minded starting C on this team would be a relative waste of dollars compared to the output they'd really give.

We are beating against a brick wall trying to insert some of these guys in as starters w how this team will and is run.

Starting Cs to be considered do include M.Gasol,bc his offensive style and versatility w finishing, running, and passing, could be injected into the team seamlessly. But even he I am souring on.

IMO, most cost effective and beneficial overall is a quality "backup" big , defensive, meaty size, versatile. Who won't get big "I'm A Starting A Starting Center" bucks, or big "I'm A Real Certified Backup Center" bucks a la Haywood; a guy who won't hold back our offensive/team game plan, and will just compliment us by providing modest but impactful boosts in defense and keeping STAT fresher, and a néw look to occasionally throw onto teams. I want unequivocal win wins in our offense and defense.

Big Baby/Glen Davis, eg. Perfect.

A "center" like this, and a true 1 or 1b scoring option (Melo, eg) and we are mint. If not Melo, we should try to smother teams with athleticism and outside shooting, Mayo, eg, Richardson, eg.

Believe it or not, you can win by always just outscoring your opponents. Literally.

Adding offense is no better or worse than adding defense.

That said, I'd like Iggy. But I'd rather get Mayo on the true cheap to compliment Fields as a tandem.

Also, if we really want defense, I wouldn't hate us targeting AK47, Kirilienko, in the off season. Just $ I believe. Likely cheaper than Iggy, and just money.

Kirlienko, Richardson, Mayo, BigBaby.

theres only one clear possibility of a trade and that would be for Varejao and Gibson.Philly's playing well and making a playoff run,yes they are in the east.Cleveland's going nowhere and needs to start over.

I dont think this deal fixes our problems either. There is a difference between SIZE and DEFENSE. Just ask Mozgov about that one.While we do need to improve D Varejao is undersized.

Backup Pg is suppossed 2 b t.doug role,but bringing in Boobie doesn't solve it either.He's more of a off guard who can spot up and shoot though he has shown flashes he can be ok at creating a shot if push came to shove.

Either way I'd rather just rebuild like normal than build a "Cleveland 2.0" around Amar'e

I've liked your posts so far but this one I believe is really flawed. First off you contradict yourself talking about the difference between size and defense and in the next sentence call Varejao undersized. The guy is a tenacious defender with quick feet, long arms, heart and hustle. He is a strong rebounder and will run the floor nicely in our system. He fills a big need and is one of the best BIGS possibly attainable. If we can get the guy for minimal loss we need to snatch him up. He is a guy you want to go to war with in the trenches come playoff time.

Another flaw in your post is asserting that picking up Varejao and a backup PG equals Cleveland 2.0. Filling needs with role players won't effect our core identity other than possibly making us more defensive.

Your point about Philly is noted and I could see them holding on trying to make a run but do they really think they are winning a chip? I doubt it so I think they would love to unload Iggy's contract and take back a player like Chandler for the rest of the year. After this season they would have options while not sacrificing much this season considering the way Chandler has been playing. Just my two cents.
