This team needs something. It is lacking the punch that it had last season. Whether that's losing Neal or what not. I just don't see it this season. Hopefully we can add someone regardless of the spot that can definitely help.
As much as I on Hedo in 2004 I think he would fit in well on this team.

5 years ago I would agree with you. He has nothing left. What has he done since Orlando went to the finals. Hardly anything.
Here's a trade I think would help us in all the legitimate areas we lack:
Tiago, Bonner and De Colo to the Suns for Emeka Okafor, PJ Tucker and 2 Second Rounders
Tucker is the Suns' "Stopper". A little short at 6'5 but hustles hard and competes and is shooting 4.26 from 3
Okafor is just all around solid. Decent offensive game, good on defensive game and a great rebounder.
Spurs would be in rebuilt mode after this trade
I doubt spurs parker go left (and rightly so), but it sure MCW would be a very good start rebuilding, the guy will be a beast
I like this idea.
Any decent center + a 3&D player for Splitter + expiring scrubs would be nice.
Boozer + Snell (Snell has not been that good lately, value is down)
Bynum + ? (the Cavs don't have a good 3&D player, maybe Delladova could be an upgrade at backup PG with his D)
No more undersized tweeners at the 2 and 3 spot, we need length. Need wings who can knock down the spot up 3 point shot but put the ball on the floor with good handles.
Maybe Brett Brown can pull some strings........
CIA Pop letting Assistant Coaches go to other teams to get cheap trades.
Wings as in More then 1 to fill the backup SF slot?
What your describing is something we've never been able to get. Caron Butler, J.R. Smith.
The only person I can think of that fits that description that is obtainable is Danny Granger and I can't think of them wanting anyone we have besides Danny Green.
Really though, as much as I agree we need a wing who can do all the aformentioned things, if we had somebody who did them competently he would have to start him, which would put Kawhi on the bench or 4., and I feel we would be a stronger team with a guy like Okafor, who immediately upgrades our interior D which would translate to more fast breaks and our wings wouldn't have to over compensate by leaving their men so open on weak side D
And besides the fact that Okafor has always put up steady numbers, you know he'd work his ass off because he's in a contract year, just like PJ Tucker's doing this year
Lol Pop is like J. E. Hoover. Instead of confronting opposition he gets inside their operations
ok, best trade ever... on NB2k
Splitter, Bonner, Danny Green
TO BKN
Kirilenko, Garnett, Plumlee, Blatche
Out the way RC.... here I come
Thaddeus young is interesting, just not sure if it's feasible.
Bonner, Baynes, Joseph, 1st for Taj, TBH.

A lot of idiots here in Spurstalk these days.
They'd still have Boozer and Gibson under contract along with Noah. It would make more sense for them to just let Deng walk than to take on Splitter for 3 more seasons. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Splitter has a trade kicker meaning that his remaining contract would jump 20%. His remaining contract following this season would jump $5 million dollars. He would be owed about $30 million over the next 3 seasons. Making him harder to trade again.
In your scenario, would Deng be our PF along with Parker-Beli/Green-Leonard & Duncan or would Diaw start and Deng would be our backup big man. Also we would have almost no rim protection besides Duncan.
Courtney Lee to Grizzlies for Bayless.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10...jerryd-bayless
I was hoping the Spurs could make a minor deal for him.
trade. Lee isn't a horrible player, but he is overpaid. Hollinger continues to make risky moves.
Yeah, I posted a time or two in the Think Tank only to not be responded to like.............................................. .....in forever. Kind of gives one a complex.
the Lee-Bayless trade clearly points to a direction that wouldn't make much sense if no further trade of that kind follows.
so we can assume that every player on the Celtics roster with a significant cantract that goes beyond 2014 is on the block. (even Rondo, if a team is willing to offer something).
best bet might be Jeff Green. yes, he has 3 more years and yes, 9 million per isn't peanuts, but he will create some interest from (contending?) teams.
maybe including the Spurs. (his contract doesn't fit a 2015 plan though)
he isn't the star some thought he will be. in fact he is between mediocre and good (not great) at most. but he is a big SF, a nice option for the small ball PF and if he isn't the #1 or #2 option on offense, he will do well in this department.
he would likely cost the 2014 1st rounder and some expirings.
worth the risk? don't know. I would prefer a better perimeter defender, like Ariza or Wilson Chandler, but he would definitely close a hole playing 15 back up SF minutes plus 5-10 PF minutes.
Green would fit in nicely with this team IMO. He can play a few positions, and is a very useful player. His salary is a tad bit over, what he should make but by pennies on the dollar. I highly doubt he's available.
Will Chicago amnesty Boozer?
Many teams should be interested.
