OKC Needs

David Lee?

A year ago, I would’ve said any team going after Haywood was a bad idea. However, he’s starting to come into his own as a rebounder this year. Finally beginning to use his height to box out smaller opponents. He’s also much improved as a shot blocker. The Wizards need to get rid of their main core and rebuild anyway, so maybe an offseason trade involving Haywood could be an option if the Thunder can’t get David Lee.

Marcus Camby. He wont take shots away from the young scorers on OKC but he’ll add defense and rebounding. He is also attainable, especially to a team with all the assets that OKC has.

Camby and Haywood are both expiring…I highly doubt Presti trades one of their valuable pieces and hurt their future just to secure the 7/8th seed. Camby is pretty old, so I’d imagine he’ll sign with a contender for a shot at a ring…I’m thinking the Cavs if LBJ is still around, if not maybe Atl, where he could backup both Smith and Horford and probably see around 25+ minutes. Haywood seems to be one of those guys playing extra hard in his contract year, but will go back to be being an 8-8 guy the year after…Dampier anyone?

The Thunder need a low post scorer who will know their role. I want/think they need to try and get Chris Bosh this summer but if they can’y get him then need to get David Lee. I also think they should use their draft pick for a big man.
