I am not sure this would make us stronger. Fizer is a tweaner we have been
through that with Fortson. Williams is not a starter, Battie is an
underachiever probably better suited for the 4 spot. I am not sure it is
worth moving up to the 7th spot unless we can get a Lampe or Pietrus and
they are that much better than Pavlovic. I would be nice to do a 3 way with
Chicago or Miami and get Elton Brand out of the Clippers to solidify the 4
spot then take Pavlovic and the best of Ridnour, Heinrich, Bell, Banks, or
Barbosa. If Banks has the Baron Davis point mentality he would be a good
pick at 20. Try to get a Juwon Howard or Nazr Mohammed out of Atlanta.
Supposedly Brad Miller will leave Indiana also.

< The Sun-Times reports that John Paxson will be shopping the No. 7 pick
and possibly Jay Williams at this week's pre-draft camp at Moody Bible
Institute in Chicago. The Sun-Times reports that Eddy Curry, Tyson
Chandler and Jamal Crawford are untouchable. Paxson is looking for
an athletic small forward. >

Okay, so Chicago wants to trade PG Jay Williams and their #7 draft pick.
But who would they be willing to take in return?

Would Walker, Brown, and our two first-rounders make them happy?

PROPOSAL:

We trade-

PF Antoine Walker: $13,500,000
SF Kedrick Brown: $1,757,640
#16 draft pick: $0
#20 draft pick: $0
Total salary: $15,257,640

We receive-

PG Jay Williams: $3,710,880
PF Marcus Fizer:  $3,726,994
SF Eddie Robinson: $6,246,960
#7 draft pick: $0 (Center Chris Kaman?)
Total $ 13,684,834

Assuming the math works, this trade would allow Chicago to add Toine
to their starting five while ridding themselves of bench malcontents
Williams, Fizer, and the overpaid Robinson.  It would give them a solid
starting lineup of Walker, Chandler, Curry, Rose, and Crawford,
plus draftees #16 and #20.  Not bad.

Such a trade would also give us a starting lineup of PF Fizer, EWill,
Battie, Pierce, and PG Jay Williams, plus the #7 pick (Center Kaman?)
and SF Eddie Robinson to implement our bench. It would also subtract
$1,572,806 from our cap.

Such a trade would seemingly strengthen each team, and isn't that
what realistic trades are all about?
