RUMOR: Maxiell & Kwame for Tyson Chandler trade

NO, because it's all BOGUS!!!! New Orleans won't do anything that won't get them under the Lux Cap.

espn trade machine says it cant work anyways. Not to mention wouldn't a deal that gets us a good big AND enough cap space to resign mcdyess be a little more attractive?

It'll work the Trade Machine hasn't been updated to account for us being under the cap.

If this deal goes through...

C: T. Chandler, ???
PF: C. Villanueva, ???
SF: T. Prince, A. Daye, W. Sharpe
SG: R. Hamilton, B. Gordon, A. Afflalo
PG: R. Stuckey, W. Bynum

then we've got some serious front-court depth issues...and little to no cap space.

A third team may need to be involved to make this happen. I like adding Chandler if we give up Max and KB. I think the bench will be full of kids on cheap contracts. Remember we are rebuilding so the idea is to be competitive not challenge for a title at least not next year.

Do it, do it Joe.

Let's it done. Then sign Gooden and/or wilcox to a 1 year deal. and maybe we could swing a 3 team trade Detroit, Houston & New York.

Detroit gets sign and trade for David Lee 7-8 Million, Houston's 1st round pick & Joey Dorsey

Houston get Rip, Eddy Curry

New York gets Tracy Mcgrady, Pistons 2nd round pick


We then Become

Stuckey/Bynum
Gorden/AA
Prince/Daye/Summers/Jerebko
Villanueva/Gooden or Wilcox/Dorsey
Chandler/Lee

Now I'm all for that one....

Even better than "the block"?

My thoughts exactly but we could still trade Rip for a couple of back-up caliber bigs and hopefully have enough cap space left to sign McDyess. Wishfull thinking I know.

After you dump rip for a big you start Afflalo more for defensive than offensive purposes like Denver does with Jones and bring Gordon off the bench.

My realistic Fantasy line-up (well almost)

after signing;

Stuckey
Rip
Prince
Villanueva (in my dreams he would not be here)
Chandler

Bench;
Gordon
AA
Daye
Bynum
Extra big = Dyess or whoever

Competitive; next year trade Rip or Tay + filler for Boozer/Bosh/Amare

Cry because we can't afford Joe Johnson.

If CV wasn't signed

Stuckey
BG
Prince
Boozer
Chandler

Bench;
Bynum
AA
Daye
Dyess or whoever
another long SF

I'm not sure if that works money wise, but if we had to spend on this year's FA class then i wish we had stopped at Gordon. In fact this line-up wouldn't have bothered me either.

Stuck/Rip/Prince/Boozer/Chandler

OK OK I'm not picking on you lpgrl I swear. This kinda goes for everybody:

Let Dice go.

He'll never win here. He's a premium character but let's move on and get younger. Unless he's like dying to stay here for whatever reason, let's looks forward.

I actually don't want Dyess, but couldn't think of any avaliable back-up that i liked better and we could aford. I suppose you can sub Gortat there, but i don't know if after that line-up how much money we'd have/MLE,etc.

I could sub in Sheed there if you want LOL

If Chandler has a relapse... then what?
The money for Dice was spent on the cap trade.
Dalembert is a safer bet.
