First up at the moment, as we try to fix our chemistry, are:
Charles Oakley - Is one of my favorites, but he wants to start and I'm not sure we can make that happen. Is a 90/80 rebounder, has 83 defense, 98 court intelligence, and is a good shot. Fantastic power forward. Is on a long-term contract, not cheap, currently 9.5 million. I would take a great bench player for this starter.
Wesley Person - bench player, but I believe he has a great three, 99 discipline, and can handle the ball, as well as being 6'6". Is on a cheap contract. Just need a bench guy who doesn't need a lot of playing time.
I will try to move these guys and see how our happiness looks before making any other large moves.

I'm going to start exploring bigger changes in anticipation of the upcoming offseason. I am looking to see what interest there is in Dikembe Mutombo. You know him, he's as good as advertised. Will be a perennial defensive player of the year, I'm sure. Pulled down 33 rebounds in our last two-game series. He has an accurate shot when forced to shoot. The AI has put him on the bench several times this season so his minutes are not starting minutes, but you can figure out his production. He will be looking for his first big deal this offseason, and may not be willing to sign again with us. If you've got the cap room, shouldn't be a problem to sign him. Looking for serious offers for this #1 pick.
Willing to also look at offers for or packages including any of my guys, but particularly Pressey, Adams, Sam Perkins, Wesley Person, Mike Gminski. Playoff teams looking for a shot of talent. Long-term moves can consider Charles Oakley, Dennis Scott, William Bedford, foundational pieces.

After the Mutombo trade, I am willing to move some other pieces.
Harold Miner - this very promising player needs more playing time to develop his defense. He's got the work ethic to do it but should be starting somewhere. A great shooter, just needs that balance.

Need to move Miner for cap reasons. If you're a playoff team with a low first, I'll take that for him. He's a promising gunner.

Not necessarily looking to make a move, as I like this lineup now. But will consider moving one of Charles Oakley, Dennis Scott, or Kendall Gill. Would be looking to reduce payroll while maintaining quality starters. Would need a PF for Oakley. For Scott or Gill would be looking primarily for a SG.
