'08 Trade Ideas

Dale Davis tracker or Big men the pistons might get in a Flip Murray, Primo Brezec and Jarvis Hayes (or less) package:


1. Udonis Haslem...Miami boy less likely to go than, say, Blount
2. Sheldon Williams ...Horford has made him expendable..good fit here
3. Aaron Williams....Live body, good team guy, 5 spare fouls
4. Nick Collison....Energy, doesnt need to score much
5. its amazing how many teams have no 6'10" + presence on their bench

How about the birdman? He's back on the market.

i like the birdman, but birdman likes the coca leaf extracts.

Mr. Blunt is not fond of the blunt?

hell yeah, thats why he demanded the change in pronunciation from the announcers last year. lol.

Get Mike Miller from the Grizzlies. They are obviously having a fire sale and we need to offer a few expirings and a draft pick plus someone else.

Maybe a deal like, Brezec, Afflalo and a first or second rounder?

He would back up both Rip and Tay, and is a great shooter and can slash as well. Imagine stuckey driving and kicking out to Miller.

Yeah, after watching Miller, I'm impressed by his slashing ability. He really does finish strong at the rim and seems to fight through contact really well.

I'm sold. His overall eFG this year is .602! That is ridiculous for an outside player. He gets in the paint on 28% of his attempts and shoots .703 from in there.

This guy is also very unselfish. I would say that he is too unselfish.

He is also a very active rebounder.

The problem is that we have to trade $8.25M of salary to get him. That would take Bresec (2.75) + Hayes (1.2) + Murray (1.9) + Lindsey (2.25). And we would have to get them to release Lindsey so that we could re-sign him. Too many pieces probably.

Maybe we could get Navarro thrown in too.

If they got rid of Navarro and released Lindsey back to us, they would only be taking on 1 additional player.

Agreed.

Get them to call you back by mentioning Amir Johnson, but then say that you made a mistake and he won't be a part of it.

Maybe we'll have Joe help out too if we hit any roadblocks.

How about Brezec, Herrmann, McDyess, Murray, Hunter, Hayes, Samb and two 2nd-round draft picks for Kobe?

I like it.

Poor Primoz. He's just a 7 foot poker chip.

Makes you wish we still had Nazr's $5mil contract to work with; that way we wouldn't have to offer a handful of contracts to get a decent player. Roscoe pointed out a while back that that $5mil salary spot could be a useful trading chip - now we don't have it anymore.

But I suppose Memphis wouldn't be interested in Nazr anyway, they already have a fine stable of big men.

Naz wasn't expiring. That was why it was so great to get rid of it.

For a team like Memphis, all they are interested in is getting relief next year. I don't see why they would really care how many players we shipped to them as long as they are all expiring contracts. They could waive them all and still have the deal work for them.

That happened?

It would be funny if he were traded to the other team and played for them in the 2nd half.
