Roster Speculation Vol. VIIII

[dimgim]

Samardo Samuels got released from the Cavs, he would defenitely help more than Harris did.

[JNoel]

Samuels would be nice, but I would cut Harrelson before I signed Samuels.

[emman03]

my wishlist:

Emeka Okafor <-- i hope this guy to be cut by wizards
Marcin Gortat
Jordan Hill
Samuel Dalembert
Nikola Pekovic
Spencer Hawes

if there is a chance i would grab one of them.
i want okafor he can rebound and defend a dwight like player he can shoot under the rim better than joel.
what kind of trade to have this guys??

[gotoHcarolina52]

Okafor is under contract this season for $13,543,250, and next season for $14,544,687.

While we can match up salary wise with the Wizards in various ways (say with a package of Cole/Miller/Anthony/JJ or Chalmers/Miller/Anthony), Washington would likely have no interest in taking on those contracts, especially when the best player they would be getting back does not fill a position of need for them. And from our standpoint, is Emeka Okafor really worth giving up a terrific pick-and-roll defender in Joel, an above average rebounder/sharpshooter in Miller, and one of our two serviceable (though erratic) point guards?

If we're adding a big man, it'll likely come through a buyout or on the waiver wire, not through trade.

And, who knows, maybe the Wizards end up buying out Okafor's contract, though I doubt it. Hell, it wouldn't be the first time they've helped us land a player (e.g., Bibby in 2010, Turiaf last season).

Y! Sources: In pursuit of frontcourt help, the Miami Heat will workout free agent Chris "Birdman" Andersen. http://tinyurl.com/a5cl2zf

heat cut Josh Harrelson to make this move...I love it!!!!

[gotoHcarolina52]

I love this idea. Don't know what condition he's in physically (or mentally), but he can definitely contribute if healthy. Good news.

I hope we get Birdman, would rather him than Kenyon

[dimgim]

Birdman could help, so could Samuels. Is there and defensive minded pgs buried on the bench for another team Miami could make a small trade for to get that 3rd pg they need

[Wade n Fade]

Earl Watson possibly? Best things to do is either trade for a young center that can rebound and play D or look to FA, waiver wire, amnestying market, etc to find one without any strings attached. Mozgov is perfect for a trade if the price is right. Denver has an excess of centers from McGee, Mozgov, and Kousta Kufos.

[h2r09]

STOP with the trade proposals. Especially for major pieces. WE have nothing appealing for other teams in trades.

I'd rather both of them to be honest with you haha....

[kntresistheheat]

I read that Oden lost 30 pounds! I hope that guy comes back to the NBA and puts on a heat uni. I have a great feeling about him but not so sure about the birdman?

[Wade n Fade]

Didn't Statue say he couldn't play during this season?

[Master Mind]

I would rather sign Martin

STOP with the telling us to STOP the trade proposals. Some of u guys keep forgetting that this is Roster Speculation. Everybody has the right to post whatever trade they like. let's remember this is all in fun.
