Its doubtful that any S&T's are going to happen. We're most likely going to re-sign Kidd, unless LeBron pinky swears he'll sign with the Knicks in 2010. That leaves the Stack chip. Not sure if Ross is going to get our BAE, the vet minimum, or not sign at all. Damp probably won't be moved 'til next offseason when his value will be at its highest. I think we should go after 'Quis with the BAE (if Ross doesn't receive it). Then we use the Stack chip + 3 mil cash for Leandro Barbosa. Phoenix is looking for cap relief and Barbosa is just a backup behind Richardson. Also, if the Suns are only willing to move Richardson because he has a larger contract we can send them Wright, Williams, Stack, and the 3 mil to cover the buy.out. The first scenario allows Phoenix to essentially make a contract disappear. The second saves them 7 mil and gives them a quality role player in Wright. Comment my idea and provide yours. <----- that sounded gay

I almost think Barbosa would be better. Great fast break toy for Kidd, and he can guard (has the quickness but doesn't seem to put much effort in) the faster points like Paul while Kidd guards the bigger 2-gurads.

We need guards/ swingmen with some size-- not another 6'2-6'3 combo guard. He's 6'3 with a 6'10 wingspan and he will be guarding point guards while Kidd who is taller guards the shooting guards. What we really need is penetration, and he might be the fastest player in the league. If we pickup a 6'6 wingman with good not great speed, who is going to guard the quick point guards in the league? Regarding JET, we could trade him? It would actually make it easier to trade him because we'd be trading from a position of strength since they both play the 2. We could trade him for a good 2/3 to backup Barbosa and Howard plus a pick. Or maybe frontcourt depth if Bass leaves. Terry wouldn't be a hindrance, he would be a positive.

He has all the tools to be an incredible defender, but he has terrible fundamentals. You can coach fundamentals though. You can't coach speed. Or wingspan.
