Market the isht out of their family package.

Trade for a non-franchise player (bosh has the stats but not the winning mindset of a leader so he’s perfect since he wouldn’t have the demeanor that demands winning from the front office to the coaching staff). Also make sure this player signs without an extension so that they can walk off in a year and be a great scapegoat.

If the trade doesn’t go through then pull a knee-jerk reaction in this terrible FA. Overpay a veteran role player (that should be on the bench) to mess with the playing time of young players.

Go nowhere near the salary cap. Save that space to exhibit d-league all stars to other teams. Then cut him (or her) and get another d-league player to eat up more minutes (bonuses at the end of the season!)

Buy expensive things with the expired MLE (bonuses for all the execs!).

Visit Maui to check Don’s liver and make sure everyone is still friends.

Draft from that location.

Tryout a bunch of scrubs to trade down in the draft (could they be more obvious with their intent?).

Find a worse concessions provider than the one that already facilitates Oracle (cheaper too).

Plan injuries and player development story lines in case the season is a bust.

Send Dr. Dan Fegan a fruit basket for being the catalyst in take II of “Harrington wants out” (different players, different position, same story/problem only JC is more likeable/professional). Quick note: Harrington should have been Marburied.

Only decrease season ticket prices for areas that didn’t sell last year and try to market it as a discount to renewing (or not renewing) season ticket holders.

Wage the media war with TK and ALL of the other Bay Area reporters (except Janny “I get the best interviews because I sacrifice my journalistic integrity” Hu).

Did I miss anything?

hey riley come look at this post

at least his contracts are gonna come off the books by 2010…and hes worth 18m+ a year?[please correct me I dont know and Im too lazy to check] , anyways THINK ABOUT IT.thats enough to sign a solid star.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Monta. The scooter incident aside (and, whatever, he’s a kid, kids make dumb mistakes like that, so I can forgive him).

But Monta presents a real problem for any team that wants to play him:

He can’t play defense against two-guards, and he doesn’t have point-guard skills.

Now, if he develops PG skills, then all bets are off. But basically, it seems like Monta needs to be on a team with a bigger player who the ball runs through. eg, he’d work well on a team with Kobe or Lebron (but then again, who wouldn’t).

Monta is a great offensive player. Sadly, that’s only half the game. I don’t want to write the kid off, but he holes in his game are big enough that it doesn’t make sense to talk about him as untradeable. Quite frankly, he might be one of the few pieces of value we could move and get equal return on.

The first thing I would do is trade the glut of SG/SF we have. I would trade Maggette for Kiralenko. Here is my rationale. As much as alot of people think we need a rebounder defender in the guise of Blake Griffith,the truth is that is not Nellie’s style of PF. Like the story of the scorpion and the turtle, it is not Nellie’s nature. He will always go small ball mismatch over rugged defender, shot blocker. Griffin would just rott on the bench and grow diheartened. Kiralenko provides that SF/PF athlete that Nellie likes. Kiralenko has expressed in the past that he wants out and I think salaries match up. Next I trade Crawford for a first rounder. With the picks I pick up two difference makers, Brandon Jennings and with the second Patrick Mills. With the speed and ball distribution skills between them at PG, SG would be Ellis, Azubuike and Bellineli, SF Jackson, Morrow and Kiralenko, PF Randolph and Wright, C Biedrins and Turiaf. That is a pretty dominating line up assumming Wright and Randolph continue to develop and gain weight..
