Clippers/Hawks/Kings Blockbuster!
Posted: Sun Jan 4, 2009 11:28 am
Clips Trade: Kaman, Baron Davis
Receive: Jason Thompson, Bibby, Shelden, Douby, Hawks protected 1st
Camby/Thompson/DeAndre
Randolph/Shelden
Thornton/Ricky??
E.Gordon/Douby
Bibby/Hart/Collins
The Clippers already regret the Baron signing IMO and could use some salary flexibility and should try and re-build on the fly. Thompson would be groomed behind Camby and Shelden could be worth a look in limited PT behind Zach. The Clips would draft the best PG available in the draft and would have loads of cap space in 2010 to attract a premier FA. Think about it, huge market, enough young talent (that should be somewhat developed by then) and the future flexibility for major signings (Zach expires when Carmelo and Dwight (IIRC) are FAs). All they need to do now is get rid of Dunleavy...
Hawks Trade: Smith, Bibby, Speedy, protected 1st
Receive: Kaman, Baron Davis, Mikki Moore, 2nd
Kaman/Moore
Horford/Zaza
Marv/Evans
JJ/Flip
B Diddy/Law
The Hawks solidify their line-up and transform into legitimate contenders.
Kings Trade: Thompson, Moore, Shelden, Douby, 2nd
Receive: Josh Smith, Speedy
Hawes/B.Miller
J.Smith/D.Greene
Salmons/Garcia
K-Mart/??
Udrih/B-Jax/Bobby Brown
The Kings get a legitimate 2nd star to pair with Kevin Martin. The Kings would use this years lotto pick on a PG and could potentially use Salmons to ditch Udrih's contract while getting a reasonably productive short-term deal. A core of K-Mart, Josh Smith, Hawes, a lotto pick and a significant signing in 2010 has the makings of a great team.
