Monta Ellis for Joe Johnson? Would you guys do it?

ejdacanay…funny I should catch your post. I’ve been brooding over a Hawks/Warriors deal since midway through last year. I love this idea…let me know what you think:

Hawks Trade:
Al Horford
Acie Law
Atlanta’s 2009 1st Round Draft Pick (19th overall)

Warriors Trade:
Stephen Jackson
C. J. Watson

I’m of the opinion that you guys should focus on Allen Iverson. Golden State has done an awesome job drafting, but you guys will starve to death without some star power.

Monta Ellis is so versatile, I think he could play small forward for you guys. At least you could go 2 or 3 guards alot of the time.

Maggette, Morrow, Azubuike, and Horford would be a pretty strong rotation of players at small and power forward. Also, Horford can play center. You have Jamal Crawford, assuming he doesn’t use his early termination clause and sign someplace else. If you guys can make a committment to Crawford, I think you’ll love the results

As for Joe Johnson, I’m expecting the Hawks to sign him again, so moving him wouldn’t be an option.

I think the Hawks will be aggressive this off-season and might surprise the populous with some spending. Next year might be the big year for free agents, but I think there are some excellent values this offseason.

As for the trade. I love it for you guys. Law is going to be a great player. He’s a little bit of a project on a team full of sensitive players, and the combination isn’t working well. I’m not surprised that it’s not going well, but I am SURE he’ll be starting somewhere 5 years from now. I also believe he’ll end up an all-star caliber player. If you know his story, you know what I mean. Horford would really help you guys up front, especially on the glass, and you get a pick to replace C. J. Watson!
