So it looks like we might get Jimmer. If that happens what we can do is keep him, or we could Trade him on Draft night to Minny along with another piece and a 2nd rounder, for Rubio. Or if we end up not getting Jimmer, we could just trade whoever we get for Rubio.
Then Trade Balkman to the Craptors for there 2nd round pick, and trade that plus cash for a late 1st round pick to draft Kenneth Faried.
sometime a few days after the NBA Draft:
Fire Mike D'Antoni. Hes a nice coach but his system just doesnt work with this team and wont. Throw money at Jeff Van Gundy. sign him to a 3 year contract.
Offer Ewing money to come back as an assistant.
Also dont pick up Billups's option. Tell him you would LOVE to have him next season but this team is in desperate need of a center and we cant afford to pay him all that money. Tell him you would love to negotiate a new contract in the off season.
Release Balkman
