This is what I want to see this summer
IN:
Corey Maggette
Brevin Knight
OUT:
Jason Terry
Brandon Bass
Why Clippers do it:
-they need a point guard (with the departure of Sam and injury to Shaun)
-they don't want to lose Corey for nothing
-Bass can be molded into a Brand-like player
Clippers:
Terry/Thornton/Thomas/Brand/Kaman
Mavericks:
Kidd/Maggette/Howard/Dirk/Damp
------
IN:
Michael Redd
OUT:
Josh Howard
Jerry Stackhouse
Why Bucks do it:
-under new ownership, and they want change (they said the only untouchables are Yi/Bogut)
-gives yi more shots
-allows other young players to grow while getting two top 7 players back
Bucks:
Williams/Howard/Yi/Villanueva/Bogut
Mavs:
Kidd/Redd/Maggette/Dirk/Damp
-----
All the contracts add up and work. It gives Dallas a guy that can take it to the rim (Maggette) instead of falling in love with his step back jumper (Howard). And it gives Dallas arguably the purest shooter in the NBA, maybe behind Ray Allen in Michael Redd. This of course, will kill our bench leaving only EJ behind who is currently the only reserve signed through next year. We would have to use our MLE and Vet's min to fill in 6-10 guys. But with that starting lineup, we will get players for cheap a la Boston with Sam/Posey/House/PJ.
