Heath, but c'mon, exercise a little common sense here... It's one thing to propose some trades, but it's a completely different to suggest such deals that you, I ,and everyone else on this board who's older than 15 knows is probably not going to happen...
David West ?? Now, you suggest he was almost dealt on draft night... I have not read or heard one article making such a bold claim... Forget the Cavaliers, West isn't going to be traded to anyone for the time being...
Who could he have been dealt for ?? Brand, Jermaine, Antwann S&T ?? None of those players are better than David West... In fact, he might be a top 5 PF in the class with Garnett, Duncan, Amare, Dirk, Boozer etc...
It's just not realistic if you look at it from the Hornets view...
Which makes it worse than even the Iggy trade scenario that was being discussed... At the very least we know he's restricted, so there could be a move to another team with a 99.999999999999 chance he's staying in Philly...
But David West ??
Your realistic ideas are more than welcomed... They can be picked apart by whomever, but if they're realistic possibilities, than there's no problems..
