I think Isiah should a big trade and use Curry as the bait. To me last year was his ceiling, he got lots of playing time and still could only grab 7 rebounds with less than a block per game, while being a liability on defense and could not pass out of the double team. Still there was a lot of hype around him, so it's possible to sell him high. Also Randolph is a similar type of player. They should pack Eddy with maybe one of the young guys not named Lee or Balkman and try to get Garnett or Jermaine, which are great defenders and do not play at the post all the time. If we can dump one of the JJ's that would be great. I know it's a pipe dream but we may even be able to get Artest for Crawford/Richardson, Nate and one of the expiring contracts. Imagine a starting five of Steph, QRich, Artest, Randolph and KG with Lee, Balkman, Collins, Nichols and Morris coming from the bench. (or other variation). I think at least the Curry trade can be made.
