LA does it to move O'Neill and Payton, thus forcing K. Malone into retirement. Also coach K gets back L8, his most clutch of former pupils. They get 2 all-stars in Finley and Walk, and young prospect in Harris(EDIT: Howard). We throw in the rights to Sekularac for the hell of it.
Why Dallas does, Walker just isn't a fit and he will fit right in as a starter in LA. Fin's on the downslide of his career, and if Shaq comes to town, he will be the new man in charge. Payton gives us a vetran PG to share minutes with Daniels/Iceman to back him up. I think giving up a young prospect in Harris would probably be the deal breaker for LA. EDIT: Howard goes in place of Harris, to make the trade happen.
C- New Aristotle/Bradley/Pavel
PF-Dirk/Najera/Fortson/DJ Banger
SF-Howard/Stackhouse (6th man)/TAW
SG- Daniels/TAW/Delk
PG-Payton/Iceman
Payton and Dirk would be the worst two defenders of the starting bunch.
TAW can play, if only we could improve our communicaton, or deal his French sissy a$$.
I like this team. What do you think?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
