I just wanted to throw my idea out there, and see how realistic it is, and get some feedback to see what y'all think. First off, I feel our biggest need is a scoring 2, and that should be the final piece of our "Big 3". My two targets are Eric Gordon from NO, and Jeremy Lamb from UConn (Would love to include Harden, just don't see that as a legit possibility at this point). I fear though that if the Hornets don't give him the max this offseason, he will force his was to Indiana. So that brings me back to Lamb. I'm not into it enough to know which sites are most accurate, but I have seen him projected to go anywhere from #3 (nbadraft.net), 8 (mynbadraft.com), 12 (draft express), and a couple others right around 8. So for this, I am going to assume between 5-10.
First, I remember a ton of people here wanting Williams to be sent to PHX for Gortat, Dudley, and either Childress or a pick. I tweaked that a little bit...
PHX Gets: Derrick Williams, Nikola Pekovic and a future protected first
MIN Gets: Marcin Gortat and PHX 2012 1st (#9)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, I turn to the Hornets. I feel they may be willing to trade their pick down a little bit to aquire more talent and future picks.
NO Gets: PHX pick #9, Wes Johnson, Luke Ridnour, and the 2013 MEM pick
MIN Gets: NO 2012 1st (#5ish) and Trevor Ariza
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We then draft Lamb with the 5th pick, and Fab Melo with the Utah pick (hopefully).
PG - Rubio / Barea
SG - Lamb / Ellington / Lee
SF - Ariza / Webster
PF - Love / Randolph
C - Gortat / Milicic / Melo
