Heres an Idea or Two

This idea is contigent upon us landing Elton Brand, I truly hope we don't.  But if we did get him, I'd hold himhostage to Miami who truly wants him. 

What I would do is somehow package a deal that would send Elton Brand and Maybe Brandon Wright or Anthony Randolph to the Heat for Shawn Marion and Michael Beasley. 

Or this deal which I am not too fond of but again it would a ton of cap space and get us a one year fix at point:  We would send Brand, Action Jackson, and maybe Belinelli for Marion, Jayson (White Chocolate) WIlliams and Michael Beasley.

We would clear 25M in cap space by doing this trade the following year which could help us go after a big name in 2009 or 2010 and have Beasley to build around.

Now I know we might have to give up more, but the Heat want Brand and Brand wants to play with the Heat, so this potentially could happen.  We may need to add in a second round pick or another young player. 

But this is the upside, Marion will be off the books very soon, so we onyl gotta pay him one year of 18M and then hes gone.  And we would land Michael Beasley which would the perfect piece to build our franchise around.  Imagine for a second Monta, Beasley, and Beans with either Wright or Randolph whomever we got to keep.

However, I truly hope the warriors will extend offers and focus thier attention on Andre Igoudala or Josh Smith.  Becuase I believe our future is getting young and signing one of the two at around 12-15M a year with the deal being front loaded. 

And lastly, MOnta wants a long term deal at only about 10M a year.  That seems like a huge steal in my opinion.  I thought we would honestly have to pay him about 12-13M a year.  For his young age and talent level this is a steal.  I hope Mullin locks that up real fast before he decides to do a 1 year tender deal for 1M and then walks the next year away from the Warriors.

What do you guys think?  I just dont want brand and his big contract because although Brand helps us we wont be winning a title ever or competiting for one.  We will make the playoffs but barely and prolly bounce out in the first round or second round.  If we get young and build around a young core then we can compete for a title in like 3-5 years and be good for the next decade.  We need to follow the trailblazers model right now.  Their roster is loaded.
