2001 restructuring plan

["John Lyell" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

There are still a lot of rumors regarding the Grizzlies restructuring. 

 

 

I think the Bull's still have cap room to make this move. All three teams aren't  really going anywhere and need a chemistry change.

 

 

Walker to Chicago

Brand, the Utah and Boston picks (top 3 protected) , &  Jamal Crawford to Vancouver ( Try to move Anderson instead of the picks)

Bibby, Rahim, and Harrington to the C's

 

These picks will probably be mid to late teens and don't do us any good. I will take a proven young point and a 20/10 guy.  Walker for Rahim is a swap. Both have their strengths & weaknesses.  We need some proven commodities not a crapshoot.

 

Maybe include VP and Brad Miller  ?

 

 

If we can't move Kenny to Vancouver or get Bibby, consider moving him to Washington for Strickland, Golden State for Blaylock, or Milwaukee for Cassell 3 proven points that could provide the veteran leadership he has not.

 

If VP is not included, try again to move him to Denver with their pick (top 3 protected) for Lafrentz  or without it maybe Keon Clark and Mark Strickland ? GS for Dampier? Kevin Willis?

 

A nucleus of Bibby, Rahim, Pierce & Lafrentz with the right coach and a veteran leader or two like a Ron Harper could be pretty effective.  Harrington adds a more physical inside presence VP was expected to add. I think Vancouver has the same problem we have, some talented youth but no veteran leadership.

 

If Pitino does walk away try once again to get Coach K out of Duke. Although he has no pro experience he seems to have a better relationship with his payers,  is less arrogant than Pitino, and his philosophy less an aberration.
