Sorry fellow posters,
but this will be my last ridiculous trade proposal for awhile. i just like playing around with various trade proposals at work, so i can get the players i want for the mavs . . . and sometimes, it takes ridiculous trades to do so.
Here's the steps I would like the Mavericks to ideally take.
1) Sign Rashard Lewis
2) Sign Charles Oakley for veteran minimum
3) Then do the following trade:
Dallas trades: Nick Van Exel, Greg Buckner, Wang Zhi Zhi, Shawn Bradley, Avery Johnson
Dallas receives: Brent Barry, Kurt Thomas
Golden State trades: Danny Fortson, Adonal Foyle
Golden State receives: Wang Zhi Zhi, Avery Johnson, Shawn Bradley
New York trades: Kurt Thomas, Latrell Sprewell
New York receives: Nick Van Exel, Matt Harpring, Danny Fortson, Adonal Foyle, Calvin Booth
Philadelphia trades: Matt Harpring
Philadelphia receives: Greg Buckner
Seattle trades: Brent Barry, Calvin Booth
Seattle receives: Latrell Sprewell
Dallas Lineup
PG Steve Nash; Brent Barry
SG Michael Finley; Adrian Griffin
SF Rashard Lewis; Eduardo Najera; Mladen Sekularac
PF Dirk Nowitzki; Kurt Thomas; Charles Oakley
C Raef Lafrentz; Evan Eshmeyer
Injured Reserve: Tariq Abdul-Wahad
i know this is ridiculous and will never happen, but i still LOVE this lineup
if lewis does sign on, van exel becomes expendable, because i don't think he will like the decreased playing time and not being able to play in crunch time minutes. i think the mavs need an oversized backup pg who can also play the 2. brent barry fits that bill perfectly kinda like a john paxson was for the bulls. barry's a great passer and could be used in a BIG lineup at times like the one below.
PG Brent Barry
SG Rashard Lewis
SF Dirk Nowitzki
PF Kurt Thomas
C Raef Lafrentz
kurt thomas could also do a great job backing up both the 4 and the 5.
i know the trade is unrealistic, but does it make sense for each team involved?
