I made a list of players (Free agents - Movable but under contract -and - players who Otis needs to contact their teams about a trade possibility.) Let me know what you think, and please feel free to add any players or moves Otis should consider. No b.s. please.
First group:
Unrestricted FA’s this summer
Barea being the big name PG out there, should command good money this summer, so he is probably a long shot for O-town. After that, you can really snag some solid veteran big guy play here for a good price. I really like DeAndre Jordan, Kris Humphries, and Kyrylo Fesenko, as well as Mike Dunleavy and Joel Pryzbilla for mid-range salary players.
*JJ Barea - DAL – FA
*Tyson Chandler - DAL - FA
*Caron Butler - DAL - FA
*Peja Stojakovic - DAL - FA
*Kenyon Martin - DEN - FA
*Tayshaun Prince – DET - FA
*Mike Dunleavy – IND - FA
*DeAndre Jordan – LAC - FA
*Zach Randolph – MEM - FA
*Shane Battier –MEM – FA
*Marc Gasol – MEM - FA
*Michael Redd – MIL – FA
*David West – NO - FA
*Kris Humphries – NJ – FA
*Joel Pryzbilla – POR - FA
*Kyrylo Fesenko – UTA - FA
*Andre Kirilenko – UTA - FA
The next group is:
Under Contract but Disgruntled or Team could want change
This group is something of a make your offer and see if their team is in. I think all of these players would be moved if the right offer is presented. Here is what I think could be included for a possible trade for each player too.
OJ Mayo – MEM – 6mil thru 12 (QO for 13) (mayo plus maybe battier For a Redick, bass package)
Brandon Jennings – MIL – 3mil thru 13 (Jennings/Ilyasova/goooden For Nelson, Bass)
Raymond Felton – DEN – 7.5mil thru 12 (Felton/mozgov or koufos for Nelson, orton package)
Josh Smith - ATL - 13mil thru 13 (Smith/Teague for Nelson/Bass)
