WARNING: This is going to be a little bit out there.  Understand that I have always wanted to see a running team and an exciting style of basketball in Charlotte for the fans.  My ideal team would have a Suns running offense from the nash and amare days combined with a Denver Nuggets defense from a couple years ago when they beat the other Hornets in the playoffs by like 60 one game. 

 

Trade 1: Al Jefferson for Ibaka and Reggie Jackson

 

We get a young super talented defenseive player in Ibaka that fits well with Biz and Zeller and a very talented young guard.  The front line of Biz, Ibaka and MKG will be the best defensive front line in the league for years.  We have elite shotblockers at the 4 and 5 plus an elite defender on the wing.  Ibaka shoots well enough to space the floor in addition to leading the league in blocks the last few years. 

 

Trade 2: Port pick (24th overal) to Boston for Nets 2016 unprotected pick and Nets 2018 unprotected pick

 

Out as head coach: Clifford

In as new head coach: Mike D

 

Extend Kemba 4 years 36 mil (9 per year) and Biz 4 years 22 mil (5.5 per year)

 

Only use cap space to sign one year deals with free agents leaving room for one Max player (Durrant) in the summer of 2016.

 

Lineup

 

Kemba/Reggie Jackson

Henderson/G Neil

MKG/CDR/Taylor

Ibaka/McBob

Biz/Zeller

 

Picks moving forward

 

2015 Det #1 top 2 protected plus our own pick

2016 Nets #1 unprotected plus our own pick

2017 our pick

2018 Nets #1 unprotected plus our own pick

    • be kind of hard with us going undefeated the rest of the year. yeah...i said it.
    • I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk. 
    • The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
