I can see why the Knicks would do it, but I don't see why Chicago would ever do this trade? Duhon backed up Hinrich and Chicago let him go. I think they think they can do a lot better for Hinrich.

Not sure how easy that would be as they are RFA, but those guys would likely excel in SSOL.. As these guys are not likely to require max contracts, we could also sign Nash to a reasonable contract. Imagine this rotation: Darko/Jordan Hill/Sene Lee/Gallinari/Hill Gay/Gallinari Roy/Almond/Douglas Nash/Douglas (Rubio?) I don't have Chandler in the rotation because I figure we may need to use him in a S&T Since this is fantasy, I've also gotten rid of Curry and Jeffries' contracts. If I want to make this an even more intense fantasy, stick Rubio in as the point guard under Nash, and then switch roles at mid-season. Roy Gay and Gallinari are all serious scoring threats. Hill could be a great finisher in this system. Darko can provide much needed toughness in the middle. Lee would continue to provide energy, intensity, and high percentage shooting. He still has room for growth in this system. Darko should help shore up some of his defensive deficiencies. Nash or Rubio would be excellent floor generals. Almond and Douglas would be strong role players. I would wager that a team made up of these players in this system, would be a 50 win team and potentially go deep in the playoffs. Very smart players who can shoot. While it would be incredible to get James, Wade, Bosh, or Amare, if we got some of these other guys, we would be positioned to do well and these guys would get to grow together. It's a VERY young team. If we can’t get Wade, Amare, Lebron, or Bosh, I would like to see us sign Roy and Gay.

That would be great for us, Heinrich is exactly what we need, and Nate can replace Gordon for them. However, i think they like the dynamic play-making back court of Rose and Kirk, and now that Gordon is gone there are a lot more minutes for them to use Heinrich. It all depends on what their plan is, because it could really be one extreme or the other: Either he's part of the plan, or they're done with him. Great Idea though... He's also a great defender, can defend 1, 2, and 3 very well. Mike D would love him.

Lopez was I think 10 overall and I think he started every game last year.

They should have spent it on a center. That said I think the Pistons are only a center away from being a championship caliber team.
