Barnes, Pargo, Evans, Childress, and Dooling.

Of course we’d like to ship TT out, his production on the court doesn’t justify his salary. Problem is other teams know that too. We could only get rid of him for a worse contract. I think we need a backup big to play PF or C. If the Knicks would take TT and a lottery protected 1st round pick for David Lee and Jerome James I would be okay with that. Don’t take on Jeffries though as it would eat into our 2010 piggy bank.

I think our expectations of TT were slightly too high last year…he was our starting PF, he has a large contract, etc. However, he does serve a purpose now as a valuable 6th man, esp with the 2 productive centers now. TT will be the primary defensive weapon when teams decide to “go small”...he can still guard quicker PFs and when motivated, is a decent 6th man, as can be witnessed on the Suns, bucks, and his first year on the Clips. Now that the team is somewhat decent, TT can return to being a 6th man who can provide a scoring punch as well as defend.

honestly TT makes the MLE.

he can hit 3s, be a spot starter and isn’t really too terrible. Keep in mind he makes about 5.5 million a year, which is 1.3 million more or so than rony turiaf now makes.

He isnt THAT overpaid considering he is pretty versatile with his shooting range, and ability to play PF and SF as a bench player.

He’s a pretty good backup PG. He runs the offense, is a pest defensively. If he’s playing 15-20 minutes per game he’s perfectly fine on your team.
