According to the the Denver and Charlotte Newspapers, each team appears to be open to trade negotiations with the Pistons.

AI along with Camby & Kleiza (an intriguing prospect)for Billups, Rasheed and McDyess is pretty darn tempting.

The Charlotte proposal is my second favorite, Sheed for the Bobcats 9th pick and a couple of players.

Whatcha Say?????????????????????????????????

I like this one. Kleiza is a rising star and you ALWAYS get effort from Camby. Stuck, Rip and AI would be an interesting 3-guard combo. A.I. has a trade restriction though.

Depends on who the players are I guess...
I love Sheed but I like this deal too.

Not impressed by the 9th pick in this years draft. So a trade would depend on the players they offer. We certainly don't need Charlotte's leftovers and they don't have a tremendous amount of quality product to choose from.

This year's draft looks like it will turn into a crapshoot a bit earlier than usual. After about pick #6 or #8 your looking at about 20-30 players of equal draft quality. Don't be surprised to see a lot of mid to late lottery teams looking to move their picks.

denver and charlotte...it would be nice to see okafur operate on a good team and it tay could back up carmelo...I would be will to say good bye to rasheed, juan dixon, herman, hunter, jarvis...anyone else??

Supposedly the draft is very deep this year. I would take a player or two (for salary purposes, as long as the contracts were short term) and the #9 pick for Sheed. His expiring contract is great but we are never going to get equal value for him, at the same time just getting someone who will play hard all the time is an addition.

If were going to give up sheed for a draft pick I would hope it would be at least no worst than a 6th. That way you may have a guarantee of getting Kevin Love, Eric Gordon or Brook Lopez. Rose, Beasley and Mayo are sure shots for the top three.

Oh, make no mistake, I don't think we will get much better than #9 for Sheed (along w/ some role-players for cap purposes). Yes he has the golden expiring contract but he is still a big risk and teams know that.

I like Love but think he will be no more than a solid NBAer, with a top 10 pick you should be able to do better than that.

It appears that Okafor might be available.



Inside the NBA: What next for Okafor?


Come on Joe.

Question is not what dumars has, question is, what Larry "every year new dream job" Brown wants...

There will be plenty of suitors for okafor.
