So let's assume this goes through, Gortat is here, Kidd signs, and the plan is to roll with Marion/Josh as your 2/3. Assume some sort of filler is sent in the trade, but not Wright.

What do you want from the LLE?

If Marion comes I really don't see a place for Bass, but I want to keep Singleton. Hopefully that doesn't require the LLE.

I'm fine with Josh/Marion as the starting 2/3, and a defensive option like Ross is a nice guy to have on the bench. It'd sure be nice if there was a way to get Parker and Marion in the prospective S&T. I think I'd want to save the LLE for next year in that case.

Assuming no Parker and Singleton doesn't cost the LLE, I still think a SG with good size and an offensive game would be nice to have. That brings me back to Wafer.

I'm no CBA expert, but if I'm not mistaken, we have Early Bird Rights for Singleton and wouldn't have to use the LLE. There's a decent chance I have no idea what I'm saying.

I don't think Singleton will be an issue to retain, I think Hollins should be ok too.

Any interest in Barnes? SF backup, has some range and can still D up a bit.

I think minutes might be hard to come by because you have shift Josh to SG and most of those minutes will be up with Josh and Jet. Ross is good insurance for defense and etc. I think there will be available minutes because I have a feeling Wright is getting dealt.

LLE is not available year to year, correct? So if we didn't use it, then we'd still have it next year, but if we use it, it's gone til 2011...that's what you're saying?

96 minutes at the 2/3 position.

Say Marion plays 25 minutes at SF (10 at PF).

Josh plays 35 minutes, all at SF/SG.

Jet plays 30ish minutes at SG.

Where do minutes for a backup SG come from?

I honestly think I'd hang onto the LLE given what we know of the roster right now (assuming the trade goes through).

Parker and Jet can play a little together

edit: But for how long? Doubt they package Parker with him anyways. No to SG off bench, BTW I am of impression if need be Barnes can play a few minutes at the 4 as well as the 2

If Wright sticks, I can definitely see that as perhaps the best choice. It could always be used later if somebody more compelling comes along.
