Turiaf can start at the PF right now. All you need is a starting SF and a backup PF. I dont think that would effect the offense or Chemistry at all. Look how fast Ariza caught on. You have to look at losing teams with large payrolls. Atlanta has a bunch of good young players at the sf and pf positions. Joe Johnson wants some veteran help. Lamar Odom for Josh Smith and one of their bad contracts. Or maybe even Odom to NY (his home) for David lee and Malik Rose.

The Lakers are set at the small forward position with Ariza and Luke Walton, they don’t need a third SF, unless you’re giving up one of these two guys). Whether Turiaf starts or not, they still need another PF, more than anything.

Furthermore to suggest taking on a bad contract is a terrible idea. Why take on a bad contract for a restrictive free agent like Josh Smith, who may not be around after this season because he is a restrictive free agent after this season. If Josh decides to leave at the end of this season for another contract the Lakers are not willing to match, then the Lakers would be left with just that bad contract. That makes no sense. The Lakers do not want to take on a bad contract.

I like David Lee, but the Knicks say they are not going to give him up. Do you know how great of a value David Lee is? He doesn’t even make a $1M this season ($990K) and produces so much and only makes $1.&M next year. The Knicks aren’t giving him up.

Also, while we are on the subject of the Knicks, please tell me you’ve given up the trade of Odom for Zach Randolph. Just more information, Zach Randolph contract is awful! He makes the following:

this year: $13.6M
next year: $14.6M
2009/10: $16M
2010/11: $17.3M

That’s over $60M (over $45M for the 3 seasons after this one. This is worst than JO’s contract)!! Who would want this contract!! What was Isaiah thinking signing this guy?
