I don't think we'd give up AV and a first for these two. Diaw is a bad fit at PF, and Barbosa is a bad fit at SG. Imagine if we said, ok, we're set in the backcourt for the next three years with nobody taller than 6'3"... I think Mike Brown would have a heart attack.
The way W&G talked about it, it seemed like we would be getting two very good players in return. SG's that would make sense include Wallace, Richardson, Carter, Crawford, Redd, Johnson, Butler, Miller, and Salmons.
Now, to think how AV, Wally, and a 1st could be attractive for any of these teams...
We know Charlotte highly values AV, so you can count J-Rich and Crash in. New Jersey, even though it might make sense, is baking on LeBron in 2010, so I don't think they're going to improve our team. Count Carter out. The Knicks would gladly get value for Crawford, so keep him as a possibility. Michael Redd could want out, so he's possible. There's no way Atlanta is thinking about trading away their franchise player this early in the year, so count JJ out. Caron Butler would be PERFECT here, and Washington is considering blowing up their team, so count him in. Mike Miller could be a possibility IF Minnesota feels AV is the center they want starting next to big Al, but... I just don't see it, and I don't see them moving MM so soon. Count him out. And, I guess Salmons is still a possibility- it's just that Petrie is so hard to get a read on.
So, we've narrowed the possible SG's down to J-Rich/Crash, Redd, Butler, Crawford, and Salmons.
Now, before we start considering three-ways, the possible bigs to pair up with these guys are:
Okafor with J-Rich or Crash
Villanueva with Redd
Jamison with Butler
Lee with Crawford
Miller with Salmons
Lee + Crawford doesn't match up salary wise, and we wouldn't give up AV and a first if we're taking on a bad contract, so count that out.
Brad Miller and John Salmons aren't worth AV and a first from our point of view, so count that out.
So, with no three-ways, we can narrow it down to Okafor + J-Rich/Crash, Villanueva + Redd, or Jamison + Butler.
In my wet dreams, it'd be Jamison + Butler. If Jamison's new deal is really viewed as being THAT terrible (which I think it is), Washington might be willing to move Butler to get rid of him. However, do you really think Washington would consider blowing their team up already before giving them one last chance this year? I don't.
So, We've got it down to either Okafor + J-Rich/Crash or Redd + Villanueva.
Personally, I'd be fine with either one of these deals, and if you can think of any that I may have missed, feel free to throw it out there.
