re: Post Your Ideal Offseason (2013 Edition)

1. Trade Gordon
2. Sign Pek
3. ???
4. Profit

Cousins mental state is vastly underrated

---

From what I have seen and read he is not a head case but at times lacks maturity. He is not a locker room problem its when he gets outside the gym, and at times with coaches.
I would feel very good about having Bledsoe and Cousins together as they were teammates. Bringing in a veteran big man to help Davis and Cousins mature.
I also feel terrible for any player that has to play for the Kings, one of the worst franchises in all of sports.
That T-Rob trade was unbelievable.

Basically I am in favor of bringing Cousins in, as the Pels have argueably the best backcourt in the NBA, and with Bledsoe have their PG of the future.

Anderson/Gordon to Wolves for Love/Barea and a future 1st

Vasquez/Lopez for Bledsoe

Draft Porter

Sign OJ Mayo, Mozgov, and Korver

Bledsoe/Barea/Rivers
Mayo/Rivers/Korver
Porter/Korver
Davis/Smiht
Love/Mozgov

Davis/Love will be a light frontcourt on defense, but I dont care. The team wil have length and speed to double the big post players and rotate. Davis/Love can clean the glass v anyone. Plus that pair will light teams up offensively.

Trade Lopez and lottery protected 1st for Bledsoe
Trade Gordon and 2013 lottery first for Klay Thompson/Harrison Barnes

FA signings:
SF- Martell Webster or Alan Anderson
PF/C- Brandon Wright
C- Al Jefferson or Pekovic



PG- Bledsoe/GV
SG- Klay Thompson/Austin Rivers
SF- Harrison Barnes/Webster
PF- Davis/Ryno
C- Al Jefferson/Brandon Wright

Win #2 in the Lottery (#1 is just being greedy and asking for bad karma)
Trade Gordon for Deng and #20
Trade Lopez and #20 for Bledsoe and Willie Green

Draft McLemore

Trade cap space to the Warriors for Biedrins and a top 7 protected 2014 pick.

Bledsoe/Rivers/Roberts
McLemore/Vasquez/Willie Green
Deng/Miller
Davis/Anderson/Thomas
Smith/Biedrins/Amundson

In this scenario you take the first half of the season to see if your 3rd guard of the future is Rivers or Vasquez and then at the deadline package the odd man out with a pick and Biedrins for an upgrade at center.

But Simmons had an article about Love/Pekovic suggesting that Love might be available. If so, do anything to get it done.

I have no problem with that.

quote:

I don't see Chicago going for this.

I don't either, but ideally they would

1. Draft Otto Porter if we pick at 2 or 3.

2. Sign Pekovic to an RFA tender and dare the Wolves to match.

3. Sign Dorell Wright as a bench sharpshooter

4. If we get Pekovic, gauge the market for Lopez. Kick the tires on a Gordon trade as well, but we probably won't get enough to be worth it.



Vasquez / Roberts
EG / Rivers
Porter / Wright
Davis / Ryno
Pekovic / Smith / Amundson

#2 in Lottery. CP3 returns. S&T Dwight for Gordon and Lopez.

CP3/Rivers
McLemore/Roberts
Vasquez/Miller
Davis/Anderson/Thomas
Howard/Smith/Amundson

I think CP3 would have to take a paycut, or we'd have to cut Smith and then resign him to our cap room exception, but if this were possible would anyone be interested? I'm sure most would take CP3 back, but what if you had to take on Max Dwight to make that happen?

#2 overall, take McLemore
Send EG/GV to Minny for Rubio.... "ideally"
Send AFA/2014 1st to Milwaukee for Larry Sanders
Sign Josh Smith
Hire D'Antoni as an assistant

Rubio
McLemore
Smith
Davis
Sanders



it worked on 2k13
