He's a genius who played the right kind of poker and manages to put together a really exciting team for the next 2 years - who may not win it all - but will be fun to watch and competitive (a la the pre-Shaq era 90's Lakers). |
How about this for an exciting team that would be fun to watch and competitive, but might be too young up front to win it all:
C - Kwame
PF - Bosh
SF - Odom
SG - Kobe
PG - Rose
This is complete pipe, but here's my blockbuster with Toronto and New Orleans (that works according to RealGM):
Rose & Bosh to Lakers
Magliore & Vlade & Slava & George to Toronto
Mihm & Miami 1st & Toronto 1st to New Orleans.
Lakers like the deal because they get a tri PG and a potential star PF for Mihm and crap (yes, total pipe). Kwame would play C.
Toronto does the deal because they want Magliore (he's Canadian and was an all-star in the east), don't have to wait two years until he's a FA, and save $3 mil immediately by cutting Vlade, and then save tons of money in 06-07 b/c they're getting expiring contracts for Rose. Also, they might think of Villanueva as their PF of the future (Bosh is better, but this is Toronto we're talking about, and a pipe dream to boot)
New Orleans gets a C they can re-sign in two years, plus a couple more draft picks.

I'm hoping for Chandler and others from the Bulls(after hearing the blockbuster word lol).
Good Luck Emplay with your soon to be newborn. |

Pipe or not, it may be a more likely achievable scheme compared to any KG scenario.
For Lakers, there is no question.
Toronto can always switch Villanueva in Bosh position and get what they wish in McGloire and put George/Slave as SFs. But you have to believe that they are really alright with swapping Bosh for Magloire.
The only question mark here is NO. Would they be satisfied with Mihm and 2 picks? Since the rumor has been that they are high on Mihm, two first round picks can be an incentive for a better package after next season.
If this scenario does happen, it will be a genius.  |

BTW, this is only my speculation, BUT its based on the following:
The player(s) received had to have 07 contracts
The deal must have been in the works for a while waiting for one side to run ouf options and pay the other team's price.
No way chicago gives up Tyson and we don't want curry for more than 2 years
With DA and McKie at guards, it would be NICE! |
Magloire and Brown for Mihm, Vlade, Cook and Dev could very well qualify for LTL's use of "blockbuster," imo. Hell, I'd throw in the Miami pick if it would help get the deal done.
Magloire / Bynum
Kwame / PJ / Slava (trade bait for picks?)
Odom / JJ / Walton
Kobe / Wafer / Profit (same as Slava)
DA / Smush
I could live with that lineup. |

Either this one or the one suggested by "abc" (three way trade with toronto which would give us Rose and Bosh) would be acceptable.
Jakson likes Slava. I think he might want to keep him if he is not traded.
Besides the line up you mentioned above, we may still have 1/2 MLE and and an LLE for another PG and PF.
Man... we are still high on KG!! |

Man, that's awfully good if only some poster won't like it. I have to read that the majority of the posters will like it! There is no other way round.

OK. Fair enough. But man, can you change your screen name? It reminds me of someone I cursed a lot in the past. |

It seems that the latest hottest stuff is "Resurrected from the dead Bender + ARTEST and Croshere."
The speculation goes on!! |

Sounds like no way! Odom is here to stay.
Most posters guessed it correctly that McKie would accept LA offer first.
http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=7310
Will they be correct again in predicting the coming of Rose at least? Or Rose + Curry?
We'll see (although am not really happy to let Mihm go if the "blockbuster" has to happen). |

What/which trade(s) were you talking about K?
Again, I'll say again that this is not like ordering a burger our way at Burger King. It won't come out fast and cheap.
I still cant beleive KG is at par or ahead of Curry! |

Your guess has a 50% probability of happenning.
Any blockbuster, if there is any, only needs one team to whine too much to make if a total failure. The only slight hint is Mitch's interview which basically confirmed we needed a big man and a pg. Which we already knew without having him on an interview.
If I were you, I'd keep my expectation as follows:
--Low ---> no trades.
--Medium ---> trade for Rose/Curry
--High ---> Artest/bender/Croshere and Rose
--Super--> KG. |

KG is really on? Who are the 2 teams outside NY?
From hoopsworld.com
| Quote: | Its only a matter of time before disgruntled Kevin Garnett asks out of Minnesota. According to inside sources, New York and 2 other teams have been mentioned as possible destinations for Kevin Garnett. With that being said, see who the Knicks and the other teams would possibly package to receive the perrinnal MVP candidate.
