Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies will make the playoffs this year. Another year of experience for their young guys will do them very good. They have good bordering great players at 4 of the 5 starting positions. A true point guard is what this team needs.
Moves: Where to get this point guard? One guy stands out and that is Ricky Rubio. He would be great for this team. Hasheem Thabeet and Sam Young would be great for Minnesota. Jose Calderon could also fit here and Toronto would also love to get their hands on either Thabeet or Sam Young.
Denver Nuggets
Carmelo is truly the only question. He is not a player that could do it on his own but is a player that is a very good piece. Chauncey is getting up their in age. If Kenyon Martin can get healthy I would say take one more shot at it. But without his toughness inside I can't say this team will beat the Lakers. This team has players that other teams want. Should they rebuild, I think they shoud. Think of the Miami Heat as a storm. The best thing for any team to do is wait it out. No top free agents want to go to Denver.
Moves: Trade Carmelo. We saw Cleveland have their heart broken. Save yourself and get something in return. Possibly the knicks Anthony Randolph or Danillo Gallinari could be a great piece for the future. All top teams would love to pick up Chauncey Billups. Memphis would give OJ Mayo, Hasheem Thabeet, Mike Conley and Sam Young in a second for him. Dallas might also be interested. New Jersey, Cleveland and Toronto would all give up draft picks which are likely to be high. Al Harrington is also a guy you could and trade to a New Jersey, Cleveland, Toronto and maybe even Minnesota for young guys and draft picks.
