Jules and Ev for John Wall, KJ Martin and a top pick swap.
Fac, I like you and even wanted you to be a coach for the Knicks, but as a trader... have mercy!
This is about the craziest of all the many crazy trades you have concocted. What have you been smokin today?
Come to San Diego, brother. Let me know how you are getting in
My thought is that we can and likely will either move Kemba or use him appropriately as Charlotte is with IT at the moment, Augie at the Lakers, Ish where ever he is this year, etc.
Removing our two largest salaries to have mega cap space not this coming year, but the one after.
Rockets have a top five pick so you have an even steven chance that someone as good as Bolomero or Murry or better is around when the Rockets pick
So let us look at who is on the books minus the players coming back if we do this deal
Sims Taj Noel
Obi
Reddish Burks
RJ Grimes
Rose IQ McBride Kemba
Resign Mitch, trade or stretch Noel and Kemba, add the Rockets players coming back and for arguments sake Murray in the draft
Mitch Sims Taj
Obi Martin Murray
RJ Cam
Burks Grimes IQ
Wall Rose McBride
You have a roster spot and the two twoways to play with. You are off the cap by not much one way or the other. Wall comes off the books at his balloon rate. If it works you try to resign Wall on a reasonable deal, opening the chance to add more or keep breakout talent.
On the flip, you get a Wood - Randle - Sengun frontcourt to go with the young stable of guards and wings. You also get the Knicks all time single season leader in made threes to kick out to from double teams. And you are bringing Randle home to Texas. Are they going to get more out of Wall for that money? It gives Houston two real vets that do not step on their kids toes and a cheaper rookie salary in a deep and interesting draft.
Think about the switchable defensive prowess and overall energy a second unit with Grimes, Reddish, and KJ Martin would bring. You could have a freaking band saw there.
It might still be nuts, but I like it for both sides.
So... you are giving up on Julius, King Julius of last season, and Fournier for a Wall who may or may not be good, and whatever pick we get plus what may or may not be two years down the line.
Julius is not at all old, and we know he can be a very, very good player. Maybe all he needs is better coaching (that's where you come in) or a better PG. And Evan can be a very useful player if used properly.
So, like you said, It might still be nuts, INDEED!
PS. I did not know you lived in San Diego. They must be selling good stuff in there.
