The home-run off-season

[magnifier661]

1.) Set up a "sign and trade" with Cleveland, sending Freeland, Leonard and Claver for Hawes (7 mil).

2.) Use the MLE to sign Chalmers

3.) Use the 2.8 mil to sign Ryan Hollins (wait probably not even that much)

Line-up includes:

PG: Lillard, Chalmers, CJ
SG: Matthews, CJ
SF: Batum, Wright
PF: Aldridge, The Beastman, Hawes
Center: Lopez, Hawes, Ryan Hollins

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Not a homerun. Hollins sucks and Chalmers is overrated.

I think convincing hawes to sign for mle (sounds like Cleveland prefers cap instead of our poo poo platter.... Leonard, McCollum and wright might get it done).

Buying out claver.

Resigning Mo to 3/9

And convincing a swing (carter, thabo, someone) to sign for the bae would be a home run

 

[Eastoff]

From what others have posted, Chalmers is worth more than Hawes, and thus won't be with us.

I personally think Chalmers is more valuable than Hawes, but I doubt the rest of the league does. Centers are still the highest priced players. Unless you are a star wing.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Hawes, Pierce and Livingston would be a home run.

Even Pierce and Hawes would be home runs

I agree, but I'm still pining for Livingston

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Pierce, hawes and Mo

 

[magnifier661]

Pierce, hawes and Mo

Honestly, if you could land Hawes and Pierce; adding Mo wouldn't be as much of a problem. In fact, I think he could actually shine. Personally, I think a lot of Mo's out of control playing had more to do with having a seriously flawed offensive bench. Adding two key offensive players would open things up more.

 

[Natebishop3]

Pierce, hawes and Mo

If we have to use all our money to get Pierce and Hawes, I would be fine with Mo coming back.

I don't see how we could get both Pierce and Hawes--unless you are planning on a S&T for one of them. In that case, who are we losing, and what new hole do we need to fill?

Easy

Leonard, Claver and Freeland for Hawes.

I think Hawes will be acquired through trade. Pierce would be MLE money.

McCollum, Leonard and wright works

 

[Eastoff]

McCollum, Leonard and wright works

These are my ideal trade away pieces.

 

[blue9]

These are my ideal trade away pieces.

Mine too! Would love to cast those guys away - as long as we get some value in return for CJ, who I think has value/skill but doesn't fit our team.

 

[Eastoff]

Exactly. I think Leonard and CJ both have promise, but we have other guys with proven talent right now. And Wright has a good history, but not with us.

I think we're setting ourselves up for another Jermaine O'Neal situation. I'm not sure Leonard will ever be as good as Jermaine, but he has tons of talent and we're fixing to put ourselves in a situation where we can't afford to play him because of how raw he is. I'm definitely concerned he'll go to some shitty team that can afford to play him big minutes and he'll become a good if not really good center.

Would that make Monroe our new Dale Davis?

Nah, Hawes would be Dale Davis, albeit much younger and specialized in a completely different area of the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Chalmers is one of the worst PGs in the league. His incompetence cost the Heat the title.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Chad Doing is on to something interesting.

Rolo to Detroit in a sign and trade for Greg Monroe

Multiple player sign and trade for Spencer Hawes.

MLE untouched. You can take that and sign two to three players or one.

Bae still available.

Starters

PG Damian Lillard
SG Wes Matthews
SF Nic Batum
PF LaMarcus Aldridge
C Spencer Hawes

Bench

Greg Monroe, CJ McCollum, Will Barton, TRob, MLE player/s, BAE player.

Prob don't need all that but interesting nonetheless. Point is, the can make a major move this off season.

No way Monroe is coming off the bench, if we are trading LOPEZ

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

At least it's realistic, I rather we deal Wright, Leonard and Crabbe for Hawes.

Use the MLE on Jameer Nelson

Use BAE on Rasual Butler

Lillard / Nelson / CJ
Wes / Barton / CJ
Batum / Butler / Claver
LA / Robinson / Freeland
Lopez / Hawes / Freeland

Nothing fancy but it improves the bench.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

S&T Monroe

We'd have potentially the best 3-man PF/C in the League.

He would be a homerun acquisition.

I'm on board, but not if it requires Batum.

 

[cmeese47]

Its a good thing this is a basketball forum because most of what I have seen posted is more like a double play that scores a run and no where near a homer

 

[BBert]

So Chad Doing's plan is to trade Fropez and play outside shooting LaMarcus with outside shooting Hawes? Who's going to box out or rebound? Or demand offensive attention in the low post? I don't like this plan.

Yeah that deal sucks man... Lopez has become a pivotal part of our success
