Rasheed Rasheed Rasheed

I agree with most of what you wrote.  But I'd trade Ray Allen if we can get equal value or less value but a good pick. Coming off the year he has had means we'd get more for him that we can ever expect to in the future.  Thank goodness that Danny is an unsentimental snake.

Minus the conjecture of the Cs losing a lot of money, I think it's altogether plausible that Rasheed Wallace signs a 2-year deal with us for short money.  The economy thing works both ways and it's bound to be a buyer's market this summer.  And if the ownership has shown us anything, they're willing to pay for a winner, provided Danny can convince them they should.  I'd bet on Danny.

Also, given the buyer's market, I think it's completely realistic that both Powe and Baby resign with us, probably for 1 or 2 year deals.  There's just not going to be that much money being spent and I think Powe/Davis are pretty low on the list of attractive free agents....which will make them easier to resign.  

And after the year Ray Allen has had, I don't think we'll trade him unless we really flame out badly in the playoffs.
