Predict the Pels next big move this offseason

Ryno for I don't know who, would have to be a 3, but I believe he's gone.

you hearing any whispers about possible EG deals or is it just a pipe dream?

Haven't heard anything, and while I would certainly bet on a Rivers deal if I had to guess who gets moved between he and Gordon, I don't think trading Gordon is completely unrealistic.

quote:

That KMart/Buddinger trade doesn't seem pipe dreamy at all to me.

---

I guess my disdain for Mr. Gordon has made me cynical about any possible trade. even that one seems like a pipe dream to me

You also have to remember that they just changed from Kahn/Adelman to Flip, and KMart/Buddinger were both brought in from Houston because of Adelman.

Hate to beat a dead horse but I really like Parsons. He does everything well and even though he'll get paid, this year i think he falls in line with our motto of young veterans that are still developing.

I'm new at this arm chair GMing but it's quite entertaining. So please bare with me.

If the EG rumor to Minny is legit and the the wolves only want to send out K-mart and Bud, wouldn't we be able to (maybe) find a third team to take Bud and give them say a 2nd rounder or cash or both to absorb his contract????

Wouldn't this allow us to absorb K-mart's salary into our est. 7 million cap space, use the trade exception to sign Asik in the HOU deal, have the MLE and BAE for bench players (i.e. Morrow,Tucker) and/or go after Parsons with a offer sheet modest in the first year than grow in the next?

Is this a possibility????

Can KMart play some at the 3?

---

As long as the team isn't stacked 1-3 you can certainly run a 3 guard lineup of Holiday/Evans/KMart and put KMart on the worst of the 3 opposing wings/guards. Especially if you had Asik and AD roaming the lane.

quote:

If we were to get Buddinger, couldn't that shore up the 3

---

Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it. Take a look at his career. LINK Never had a 15 or better PER (15 means you're a league average player). Career 3P% is 35.7%, which is on the borderline between bad and adequate. Has an injury history as troubling as Gordon or Jason Smith.

The hesitation on this deal isn't about Martin as much as it is also taking on the 2/$10 Budinger has left. And that's also what makes the deal seem realistic.

If I'm the Pels, I push for LRMAM as the cap filler w/ Martin. Mbah a Moute is one of the better wing defenders in the league. Not a guy you can give heavy minutes to because he doesn't give you much of anything on offense, but defensively, he is everything we hoped Aminu would turn into. Of course, doing so may push the deal too heavily in New Orleans' favor.
