Dirk and Kidd to Portland
For:
LaFrentz
Miles
Pryzbilla
Aldridge
Rodriguez
Fernandez (rights)
Freeland (rights)
Koponen (rights)
Frye
Time to start over.
Raef has one year left on his contract. Miles probably retires. Pryzbilla is a back up center, behind Damp. Aldridge/Frye/Freeland are the new fours. Rodriguez/Fernandez/Koponen are the new guards. Josh Howard remains the small forward and Bass backs him up. Let as many of the remaining players' contracts as possible expire. Trade JET and Stackhouse somewhere for something--maybe draft choices and expiring contracts.
Portland wins the NBA Championship next year with Oden/Dirk/Outlaw/Roy/Kidd--Blake/Webster/Jones/Jack and somebody at center are reserves enough.
