  • They would have his Bird Rights if I'm not mistaken. Not to mention, isn't he Restricted?
    So they should be able to do what it takes to get him back.

      Asik would be a HUGE step up from Gray, in both Skill level as well as Pay bracket.

      I'd love it if we could get him, but I'm not sure Chicago would be willing to let him go.
      They love him down there. What with the whole, "Asik and Destroy" thing. Ugh.
      they will most likely keep asik unless they get a great deal
      i think chicago doesn't mind spending

      • Hmmm I was under the impression he was unrestricted for some reason

          On this, I'm not entirely sure. You most definitely could be right.

              • alright heres my wishlist:

                PG:
                Nash
                George Hill (at right price, tho im not sure the pacers let him go)
                Darius Morris (like i said, as a developmental project, if we get Nash or keep Jose)
                Uzoh (solid, solid 3rd pg)

                SG:
                Gordon (i still love you, baby)
                Mayo (i wouldn't overpay for him though)
                Courtney Lee (good bench dude)
                Meeks (fantastic shooter, probably cheap)
                Danny Green (i'll take Matt's word for it)
                Reddick

                SF:
                Batum (duh)
                Brandon Rush (love him, think he'd be a perfect fit for Casey)
                AA (if he could come cheap)

                PF:
                literally the one position we don't need to really look at anyone, even if someone gets traded

                C:
                Asik
                Gray
                Ryan Hollins (big athletic body)

                    Ryan Hollins (big athletic body)
                    good list.
                    right now mayo is at the top of my list. it was chandler then batum but both of those we wont be able to get. i can see us in a good position to get mayo. go clips.

                    nash would be great. didnt know morris was a free agent. i can see a 3 year minimum deal for him. he would be 3rd string to me and have to outplay number 2 for playing time though. asik would be our started if we got him. i am happy with gray and i think if he goes somewhere they will go with amir in the middle until a deal for either him or ed can be made.

                          Nice, than we could trade Batum for Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook.

                          • Realistically we should and could do the following-

                            Sign Mickael Pietrus as a backup wing
                            release Jerryd Bayless
                            Pursue a trade with Denver for Wilson Chandler
                            Target JJ Redick as starting SG
                            trade DeRozan
                            sign AK47
                            Trade James Johnson
                            Resign Alan Anderson

                            leaving us with
                            PG - Calderon/Nash(pipe dream) - Marshall (draft) - Uzoh
                            SG - Redick - -Chandler -Pietrus - Anderson
                            SF - AK47 - Chandler - Kleiza - Anderson
                            PF - Bargnani - Davis - Kleiza - Chandler
                            C - Valanciunas - Gray - Magloire - Sacre (project)

                            This is a realistic obtainable lineup that can shoot the lights out and play tough defense. Of all these players Chandler would be the hardest to obtain.

                            This team would be good for 40 - 50 wins next season probably closer to 40 than 50 and good for 6th - 8th seed in the playoffs

                            • if you start jj reddick and AK47 your team aint going no where besides 8th seed at most. This is a very bad idea

                                6th-8th is NOT what we're building for. AK47 is getting old, and Redick is not starting shooting guard material IMO. The wing is going to be very mediocre at best.
