the guy that needs to be dumped is Brandon Knight. that deal has been a disaster for them.

you can get minutes for a 3 guard rotation of Bledsoe, Booker, Fox and still have some left over for Ulis. somewhere in the 20-25 for a rookie PG with an obvious shooting deficiency is about right.

and that's assuming they can pick Fox. if they trade back for Smith or the French pg, those guys would seem to be less ready to play those minutes.

plenty of minutes for Bender/Chriss. the thing to remember with both of those guys is how unbelievably young and raw they are. think back to Davis's rookie year and the bitching that many of us (myself included) did at times about his minutes. those guys are less gifted, less prepared, and weaker than Davis was then.

They can't even give him away. He's probably more difficult to move than Asik.

I'd like to keep Moore if it all possible. He's a very underrated defender. Ideally, i'd like to get Rubio without giving up Moore, resign Jrue, and look for a SF with the MLE. Ingles would be ideal, but it sounds like he isn't leaving Utah. Casspi would be another good one, but i'm sure we pissed him off. Guy like CJ Miles would be nice, but not sure the $8M MLE is enough for him. Gerald Green would be very attainable, although not really interested in him. If PJ Tucker is attainable, that's who i'd want.
I'd like Justin Holiday with the BAE, and i'd like to take a flyer with James Young from Boston, who can probably be had for cheap, and is a Kentucky guy.
