Forgetting about the high flying targets for a while, I am thinking about another approach. What if we go for a prospect at our biggest position of need, which is center. Someone who is somehow forgotten at his current team. We need a center who is either a rim runner or can shoot and who can provide defense. I am at the point where I would be willing to give away WCS and Bobi for a second rounder if someone would take them. Powell looks really bad but I don't really think Mavs have assets to waste on getting rid of his contract.
First candidate I have in mind is Gafford from Chicago. Everytime I watched him he played great but somehow Chicago doesn't play him. He has 4 DNP in their last 6 games. Can't shoot but provides great energy and is a good PnR player. He is averaging 1.2 blocks in his 13 minutes per game. I can easily see him give what WCS does. Would he be available for a second round pick or perhaps even cash considerations?
Mo Bamba is a former 6th pick, but doesn't seem Orlando believes in him. Still, he wouldn't be cheap. Honestly, I only saw him against Dallas last year and he didn't look good. Looked lost on court, but there is a ton of potential. I doubt they would be willing to part with him for a couple of second rounders. Perhaps if we take Aminu contract. But we also don't have appropriate salary. Richardson for Aminu, Bamba and a couple of second rounders? One would really have to like Bamba to pull this one, but I just don't have a better idea. Johnson+Richardson for Aminu, Bamba and Fournier? And we throw in a couple of second rounders?
We touched Holmes before. He is expiring - can Sacramento hope he will stay with them? Bobi + a couple of second rounders sounds fair? Or perhaps we go with Powell and FRP for Holmes and Joseph?
