Darrell_Armstrong 5 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 This isn't much of a rumor, but Bill Ingram at Hoopsworld reported that Tyson Chandler may be on the move in New Orleans and they would be looking at Gortat as a replacement. http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=13111 If Gortat is in the 4-5 million range, perhaps we could look into a sign and trade for James Posey, who would give great defense and shooting off the bench behind Rashard (if he moves to the 3). Rasual Butler is another possibility as an upgrade to JJ behind Vince. Could NO sign him outright if they move Chandler? If not, what do you all think about Posey or Butler?

Nelson/Johnson Carter/Redick Pietrus/Posey Lewis/Anderson Howard/Wallace couple of things i don't like about that lineup. 1. pietrus starting. he's a better 6th man than starter 2. sheed coming off the bench for howard. i like him starting pf more. would he like coming off the bench to play center? i still want bass/gortat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrell_Armstrong 5 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 So, if you don't like Pietrus starting we could have Sheed start at the 4 and Shard at the 3. So you have Posey off the bench for Rashard and Anderson coming in behind Sheed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COLOMBIANO 118 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Stan would be strategic. If Sheed goes to the bench then we would move Lewis to PF and Posey to SF. If Carter goes to the bench then MP will play SG. At times we could have Sheed at C, Lewis PF and Posey/MP at SF. That would be a great line up and great bench! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank Moody 60 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 This is probably the most versatile lineup I have seen on this board so far. Just add a better back up PG and we are set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Guy 11 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Wallace wouldnt sign to back anyone up. If he's signs here, he's starting. He's not exactly a team first guy. He wants to get his in terms of money and he wants major minutes. And other teams can supply him with that so, if we told him our intent was to bring him off the bench...well, that just wouldnt fly, imo. If we're even interested, which we are, we're looking at him to be that truer type PF to start next to Howard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrell_Armstrong 5 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 With Yao reportedly out for all of next season, I'm guessing the Rockets would target Gortat pretty heavily now. Anyone think we could swing a sign and trade for Shane Battier (salary is a little high for Gortat's value at 6mil), or Carl Landry (a little low at 3mil)?
