First and formost, the team budget is fixed around $60 million, so getting down below that number means you can add players, period. Secondly, you can make many more trades happen, such as the Marion one we had on the table this summer. Thirdly, just getting Redd off the roster forces/allows Mo/Yi/Bogut to grow into leadership roles.
Like I said, it would be a flawed Superstar (McGrady for instance) but it could be done. I know we aren't getting Kobe, but I know we can get a great player for Redd.
And yes if we get under the cap we can add players. Players like Bobby Simmons. This team under the cap means nothing and they have proved that the last 10 years with their free agent signings.
You could, in theory make more trades. But once Redd and whoever else goes with is gone what do we have left to trade for a player like Marion?
I'm with you on your third point. I just think the trade you proposed is awful and won't help us now or later.
Edit: I don't think getting a superstar is realistic, but I'd like to think it could happen. But I would love if my second idea worked. Get a couple of prospects. I guess you and I have different opionons on prospects but Corey Brewer has been one of the least NBA ready rookies this year. He is stick thin and he is due to get beat up. There has to be something better than Brewer and expirings for Redd.
