Andrey Blatche is free to sign with any team! What about him?

We need a backup PF more than SF, so the first order of business is to spend what it takes to get a reasonable backup PF, someone who can start w/o much fall-off in production if Lee goes down next season. That plus Rush and we are done.

@Deano – The Hornets might do it because they need a center. Not much out there, unless they can convince Milicic to sign with them, now that he’s been amnestied. Pyrzbilla?
Maybe Biedrins can bounce back??? I’d love him to have a change of scenery. Aside from his recent legal issues, he’s always been a good guy and a good teammate. He’s young still and the Hornets might be willing to give him a shot.
And yes, I forgot about Green.. I would like McGuire on our roster for a three year, $6 million deal, so I did include him intentionally.

I see that the Clippers just amnestied Ryan Gomes. WHat do you think about him coming to the Dubs. Most people don’t know but Gomes was a big time scorer at Providence and played power forward there, may be undersized for that and thats why he has worked to covert to a Wing, but he can play and knows how to use his body to create space.

Yeah we will keep Rush and he adds what we need off the bench. But I agree we have to find a way to deal Biedrins and get something for him, but who will chance to take him????

I was just about to ask what the deal was with J-Ridah. I knew it had to be a joke, but I’ve seen it a million times now.

Harp: That would be a great trade for GSW, but I doubt NO bites. Beans has so litle value on the court, and an albatross of a contract: $9MM contract for two more aeasons. Also, on your roster, did you mean to list Green instead of McGuire?

I like Rush as much as the next guy, but here’s something that would make more sense for us:
Trade Biedrins to New Orleans for recently acquired (and most likely will retire) Brad Miller and Xavier Henry. The Hornets would be getting a center (if you could call Biedrins a real center) as they don’t have one on their roster at all right now. Jason Smith and Anthony Davis are not centers.
We get rid of Biedrins and his contract, taking a SG/SF with the same size as Brandon Rush for two years at around $3 mil/year. If Miller retires, his salary’s off our books now. If he decided to stay for this year (he has the option), he lends a tough guy mentality, is a rugged big and has a contract that comes off the books at the end of this upcoming season.
This would allow us to re-sign McGuire, who was more valuable to our team last year than Rush. We still need to sign Carl Landry.
Next year, hopefully, our roster looks like this:
PG – Curry/Jack/Jenkins
SG – Thompson/Henry
SF – Barnes/McGuire/Jefferson
PF – Lee/Landry
C – Bogut/Ezeli/Miller?
