TheWiscSportsNut2:But all these guys below can defend for Scott Skiles at this position. All of them, which nullifies Kevin Martin.
#1. Joe Johnson
#2. Rudy Gay
#3. Ronnie Brewer
#4. Andre Iguodala
#5. Eric Gordon
If this is a purely hypothetical list, not taking into consideration the players who could actually be available, then maybe. But Joe Johnson isn't going anywhere. The Hawks have the best record in the NBA.
Rudy Gay is a possibility to obtain via trade, especially because if Memphis didn't want to give him the 5-year, $60 mil extension last month, then why would they next summer? But then it would cost the Bucks (or any team trading for him) 5 years and between $50-60 mil next summer. Similar deal to Bogut's extension.
Ronnie Brewer? Maybe. But if you're talking about a Redd-Brewer exchange, there is about a $15 mil difference in salaries, so there'd have to be a lot of other players or teams involved.
Iguodala...hard to say. Not worth the money he's getting, in my opinion. $57 mil guaranteed owed over the next four years, including this year, then a $17 mil option for 2013-14.
Eric Gordon is a franchise cornerstone for the Clippers, along with Blake Griffin, so he's not going anywhere.
As for Kevin Martin, he could be available due to the emergence of Tyreke Evans as a shooting guard.
