I guess they could go with Evans and maybe DeRozan though that might be a stretch for DeRozan to go that high. They will need back court help though.

Evans
DeRozan
Gomes
Love
Big Al

Team could be real fun to watch.

Curry
Evans
Gomes
Love
Al
?

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

I think they try to trade up for Rubio.

Maybe they trade the 5th and Jefferson for Amare and 14, and flip 6/14 to Memphis for #2 for Rubio?

It's possible but I would hate my life if I'm a Minnesota fan and they did that.

That's what I was thinking as the other option, it would work because Evans is a huge PG and could guard NBA shooting guards and let the smaller Curry guard the opposing point. Although I'm not sure either of the two prospects have much interest in playing defense.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

Abe didn't feel like paying Top 5 money that's probably why he threw that in there as well. But I agree with Cebby on this. Now all Flip and Ernie has to do is remind Blatche that he is not a Guard and to stop trying to act like one for crying out loud.

Couldnt agree more. It didnt look like we were getting Amare unless we gave up Butler and that wasnt happening. I'll take Miller and Foye over the other trades I was hearing like for Jefferson or Larry Hughes.

I'm starting to come around and place this trade in the positive side for three reasons:

1. Most importantly, it dismisses the notion that Cavs and Knicks fans have been touting that we are in some sort of Bucks/Griz/Suns realm of salary dumping due to terrible finances. While I never really believed this, having it completely off the table makes me happy.

2. It addresses 2 of our 3 biggest weakness, and the only 2 that really could be addressed (since we obviously aren't getting a good big man with our tradeable pieces). It gets us a serviceable to very good backup for Gil who could maybe possibly progress into a good (not all-star, but above average starting) guard and gets us some 3 point shooting. If Mike Miller right now was in this draft, he'd probably be picked in the 2-7 range anyway.

3. We keep Mike James aka 6.5 mil off the books next year as well as all of our young players. This way, we keep some tradeable items for another trade soon or at the break if the situation arises.

This still doesn't make us any better than a second round team or a ECF team if everyone stays healthy, Gil comes back as good as 06-07, and we get some breaks, but it's better than blowing up the team over nothing.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

Holy hell, this trade is official? I'm not sure why either team would do this. Wizards get to above average players and the Wolves get another draft pick?

What? Why? NBA Gm's don't know what the hell they are doing.

Hey, I'm ok with the ECF!

Especially after going to 20 Wiz games last year and watching them win only 1.

I'm cool with keeping James as long as he never suits up. He was brutal last year.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

Dang how many Guards do the wiz have now 8? I think both teams are not done dealing.

Arenas, Stevenson, Crittenton, Foye, James and Young. 8 if you count Butler and Miller.

Just wow. I can't imagine they keep all 8 of those players. I imagine someone has to be moved.. or else a lot of those guys are going to be stuck on the bench.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

I don't like this trade for the Wiz. They basically secured the #5 playoff spot for the next five years and at best a 2nd round exit, for a guy like Curry who can really be something special for years to come.

This doesn't make them a contender.

Eh, 8 isn't an absurd number for every player in the 1-3 spots. It's one player too many.

I imagine that we'll move Crit and Mike James for a comparably below average big man.
