Season 2011-2012

Lets start with the goals for this 2011

• 5th place in the Eastern Conference
• freeing up some Cap space for future Contracts
• get a player in the All-Star game

So i think all 3 are manageable goals for this Season, so lets start with freeing um some cap space.

Cap space at the moment - 2.07M not so bad but not good eithers´.

Lets take a look at our Roster and the contracts

Roster before the Trade
#	NAME	POS	AGE	HT	WT	SALARY
42	Elton Brand	PF	32			2y | 35,22M
9	Andre Igoudala	SF	27			2y | 28,25M | + 1yP
21	Thaddeus Young	SF	23			4y | 40,00M | + 1yT
25	Luis Williams	PG	25			2y | 12,31M
12	Evan Turner	SG	23			1y | 4,95M | + 2yT
00	Spencer Hawes	C	23			1y | 4,05M
11	Jrue Holiday	PG	21			1y | 1,74M | + 1yT
8	Nikola Vucevic	C	21			2y | 3,41M | + 2yT
33	Craig Brackins	PF	24			1y | 1,40M | + 2yT
4	Tony Battie	C	35			1y | 1,40M
7	Sam Young	SF	26			1y | 0,95M
20	Jody Meeks	SG	24			1y | 0,88M
50	Lavoy Allen	PF	22			2y | 1,32M

As we can see Brand, Iggy, Williams and Young have the highest salary´s in our Team.

Iggy and Young have both save spots in our team, because both of them are the face of our franchise. Brand has a big contract an with his age he will not grow anymore. With Williams it is difficult, he is a great player, but the problem is not that, the problem is , that he will demand too much playing time as our 6th man.


So my decision is to look for a trade for Brand, Williams and Nocioni but wiht out giving up our 1st Rnd picks in the draft.
