More trade ideas...I KNOW, I KNOW!!

PrintBut there is just nothing else good to talk or even think about in Rufusland. So I have randomly concocted a 3-team trade scenario where we deal w/Houston and Boston. Both teams have been rumored to be shopping....and this trade could work.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6v6xpox
The nature of trades, is one that includes having to deal players that surely have fan followings and skills. Unfortunate it is, but no move makes EVERYBODY happy, right? So with grains of salt....why these teams might consider:
Bobcats- Lose: Hendo/Tyrus/Najera. Acquire: Jermaine O'Neal/TWill/Johnny Flynn/JaJuan Johnson.
We lose a fan favorite in Hendo, but get rid of the TT contract w/o having to use the amnesty. O'Neal becomes the vet center (on an expiring) that Diop is the antithesis of. TWill has to try to fill Hendo's shoes. Flynn becomes insurance should a DJ move arise. JaJuan is a good PF prospect that can positively contribute now.
Possible Depth Chart:
PG: DJ/Kemba/Flynn
SG: TWill/RWill/Matty
SF: Maggs/RWill/UPS
PF: Diaw/White/JJJ
C: O'Neal/Biz/Mully
Lots of versatile guys. The Wills can play SF/SG and one can be Kemba's co-6th man (does that make sense?) Lots of possible lineups w/ the bigs (Biz/Mully/JJJ/etc).
Celtics- Lose: O'Neal/JaJuan Johnson/Keyon Dooling. Acquire: Tyrus/Hendo.
Boston gets a young SG who is a great defender and athlete to add to their aging lineup. A future backcourt of Rondo and Hendo could be the best defensive duo in the league. With Ray Allen older and on the last year of his contract, SG is going to be a need. And for some reason, Boston seems like the kind of place that would not only be best for TT, but they might actually be interested?!?! Again youth, but betting on him and his large $ comes with the Hendo piece.
Rockets- Lose: Flynn/TWill. Acquire: Najera/Dooling.
Houston gets two expiring contracts that free up $5 million this offseason. The TWill/Flynn combo have another year left on their deals. If they are riding the pine...get em gone! Shoot, we will even throw in THE Cory Higgins. Maybe having Boston include a 2nd rounder (present or future) will ice their cake. And dangit, Celts, you owe us. You've got our Hendo!!

i love this deal
This only works if Houston is trying to free up cap space. We free up plenty in this deal. Of course I wouldn’t start TWill over RWill at this point but we can see what he has off the bench. O’Neal could probably be bought outto sign with a contender which sweetens the deal even more . I see the Celtics and Cats pulling the trigger. Not so sure abt Houston.
Houston's number one goal has been to try to free up cap space
but, really, have you seen what they’ve got on the books for next season? barely anything at all, and because 7 players have team options, and only two contracts on the books the following season
they’re going all in for Dwight and Deron, and have made it quite public as to their intentions
O'Neal Diop's antithesis?
Um, they’re a lot closer than you think. O’Neal is pretty bad.
Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is,
I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis
- Guru, of Gangstarr
Jermaine O'Neal
doesn’t randomly turn the ball over and generally look like the most inept player of all time while he’s on the court
I didn't say he was good
I was just basically saying, he’s no desagana diop
This I agree on
and somehow he still gives the top teir centers a little trouble than I expect him to. He’s still tough and can still hit that jumper.
Antithesis, too strong a word
But compaieing anybodys game to Diop is just wrong Ben. Come on man. You watch Diop with us. He isn’t a bball player. If you would rather watch the Diop dump than O’Neal, I’m confused. Dude.
Diop.
Thats it. No more to be said.

Dang man...they'll listen to me one day
Speights has put up 12.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in the last eight games. During this recent stretch, Speights has shot much better, submitting a 54 percent field-goal percentage.
sigh…
when has anyone said speights wasn't a good option?
he’s a restricted free agent this offseason who has been a player people have suggested we try to go after
please stop coming up with really obvious things, things so obvious sometimes they’re not worth more than a mention, and then acting like you’re the shit because you said it, too
if we manage to get rid of Tyrus Thomas, he’s a great option to go after, but we also don’t need to spend a buttload to get him, especially if we’re able to draft anthony davis
I said (before Mullens)
that we use that pick on Speights…
Result: SHOT DOWN
2 months later: It was obvious
what "pick"?
if you’re suggesting we should have traded one of our picks on Speights, then yes, of course it was shot down
that’s not the same as suggesting we sign him in RFA
2nd rd'r
which is basically what was given for him
the 76ers got two second rounders for him
i realize Xavier Henry was involved, but they let go of one player and got two second round picks
not to mention, that trade happened at the start of the season and Speights had drawn the ire of Doug Collins
sure we could’ve gotten him, but it would’ve been a big risk given his recent situation with his coach – we were smarter to not trade for him, since he would be a rfa anyway, and just see how it played out and if he could improve
he has, but it’s not like his presence would’ve won us any more games
They only got that bc Zach Randolph got hurt
and their roster was full. So they had to take a player back. His fall out of graces with Doug Collins had nothing to do with his actual strengths. Something that we couldve actually used.
at the beginning of the season
we thought we were pretty set with boris at C and biz as his backup, certainly the season hasn’t turned out like we expect, but saying this trade would’ve been good or bad in hindsight is exactly that
not to mention, speights being here could have considerably slowed biz’s development, who is progressing just fine as he’s gotten minutes
sure, it would’ve probably been a good thing for us, but it’s not like we could’ve known that at the time, and there’s no guaruntee he would be doing as well with us as he’s been with the grizz, either
Speights can play both Center and PF
the same as BB. It wouldve been no reason to cut time for either one. I cant see how he slows down BB’s progress other than grabbing more boards if they are in the game together. And YOU guys didnt expect him to be as good as he is with the Grizz. But I knew
Uhh...
Speights is playing at pretty much the same level he’s always played at. He’s averaging 8.6 points and 6.5 rebounds and only shooting 44% from the field (Worse than Biyombo FYI). He’s not exactly lighting the world afire over there.
even though he's started a bunch of games
he hasn’t played a lot of minutes, and not because of foul trouble – he’s had very good games in every game he’s gotten 25 minutes or more except one bad showing against Houston
he’s also an 81% ft shooter, which is awesome for a big
I'm not saying he's a bad player
It’s just that focus is acting like Speights is playing like an all star and that he was the only one who saw it coming. He’s not doing anything in Memphis that he didn’t do when he got minutes in Philadelphia.
He is playing like an allstar
you are avging in all of his games. Which is fine. But I specifically put up the last 8 games at the time even still he is continuing that great play. He is playing excellent basketball. He is PROGRESSING.
The thing
though Focus is that pretty much everyone who is familiar with him said it would be smart to go after him.

which was like two posters
the rest shot it down. Now, all I was pointing out is how people shoot down ideas bc they are UNFAMILIAR with the players. If you dont know anything about a player then just say “i dont know”. Instead of shooting down an idea or following what someone else says…
i don't remember this conversation of yours
but all i know is that, at the time, if you had suggested trading a pick for speights, i probably would’ve disagreed
That's understandable.

Well
I thought this was pretty good. Send away TT. Bring in an expiring. And some young guys with promise. Kinda surprised everyone is so stinky on it. We have the site boss Ben pissed that we have to replace Diop and hos 2 yrs at $7 mil with O’Neal and his $6 mil expiring (what). Chris in county is mad because we don’t suck enough (really). And focus is just mad I brought up TWill again and resurfaced the pain of his purgatory in Houston.
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 11:15 AM EST via mobile reply actions
And dangit. My bust
We still would have Diop!! Dumb. It’s tyrus contract thats gone. Still O’Neal > Diop, by quite a ways.
Deal would allow for possible moves following with DJ (Flynn another option). Diaw and his $9 mil expiring are still there. Amnesty could now be used on someone like Maggs ( or Diop).
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 11:32 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
just a suggestion
you probably shouldn’t get your undies twisted everytime someone disagrees with you on this site, because it’s gonna happen a lot
also, houston doesn’t really need to do this trade since they have as much cap space as they want – you’re trading away players they have team options on in T-Will and Flynn, that doesn’t make a lot of sense on their part since they’d get more cap space by simply not excersizing their option
Hard to knot undies...
When you don’t wear those jokers!! And thanks for bringing up my skivvies. Didn’t know you were an enthusiast?!?
I’m used to the disagreeing. I just thought this one was pretty solid. You are right about the team option for next year on Flynn/TWill. Didn’t note that on the trade machine. Hou could just let them walk. Still, cutting out Hou, we could still make the Boston deal. Guess we could have them add Moore to fill the SG hole left by Hendo. Then think about signing TWill or other SG options in FA.
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 1:01 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
i would love to get rid of tt's contract
but hendo is too great of a price to do that
seriously, t-time + future draft pick for any marginally decent player, or especially an expiring, is about the best trade we can make right now – how about t-time + 2014 unprotected pick for ray allen
Can you picture Ray Allen's face...
When they tell him to pack for Charlotte?!? Oh man! But I like the idea. The “unprotected” puck just makes me shudder, and I have instant butterflies in the tummy…but you might be right on that it will take something like that.
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 1:10 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
the idea behind the unprotected pick
is just that i don’t anticipate the bobcats being in the lottery in 2014 anyway – kind of a “i have confidence in the future of the bobcats” type thing
We better not be in the lotto!!
By then we will have back-2-back Defensive POYs in Biz and Davis. And of course reigning ROY and All-Star Harrison Barnes (who returned for his junior year to help lead UNC to the title, after a disappointing Final Four loss in 2012). Kemba finishes 2013 averaging just near a triple-double (18 ppg, 11 assists, 7 rebounds). Can’t forget the duo of Kemba and Hendo dominating steals-per-game as a backcourt, league leaders.
Or wait? Did we sign Steph Curry by then? Whatever happens…..I’m pumped!! :)
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 1:48 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
The problem with sending an unprotected to anyone
Is it means we have to drop all protections on our pick to Chicago, meaning they get it this year. I don’t think that’s a good idea.

What about this trade with Boston?
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7w5umq2
They include their 1st rounder (likely in the late teens). What do y’all think?
I like getting the 1st
And Bass is solid. But I’m kinda hoping White cam turn into OUR Bass. I think he has what it takes. Would leave the need for PG replacement w/Aug ghandi.
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 1:06 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
i don't see the value in trading expiring for expiring
Diaw/Augustin aren’t going to help Boston win it all this year so I don’t really seem them even being interested in this trade
Diaw, as a player who can still contribute… something… to an NBA team is far more valuable than Jermaine O’neals, so the first round pick would be necessary, since we could just trade him for a first round pick, period. There are better options out there, though, I think.
Someone
Posted this trade on espn.com..and thoughts?
i love how this trade increased everyone's wins
hard to do that with 3 teams! lol
this trade makes sense for all parties involved – the rockets still have enough cap room by getting Pau but losing Scola to get Howard + PG, we get someone who can create their own shot, the Lakers get Scola/Augustin
I like Martin
How would our depth chart look?
Kemba
Martin
Maggs?
Kemba
Martin
Hendo?
Who would be the most effective 6th man? Where does RWill fit and get PT?
by mives36 on Feb 21, 2012 1:15 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
What if we trade
Maggs after we get Martin for Beasley somehow?
R-Will and Martin can both play the point
I like Reggie Williams and Hendo coming off the bench in heavy minutes, R-Will at the 1 and 2 and Hendo a the 2 and 3, but with four players being able to play 3 different positions (Kemba, Martin, Hendo, R-Will), it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
R-Will will see his minutes decrease the most because Kevin Martin provides the same thing, only better and more consistently and also isn’t a non-factor on defense.
My biggest issue with this deal
Is that it puts us in a bind trying to resign Martin next year and he’s not a guy I want to throw a max contract at. Maybe we could flip him at the deadline next year?

I really like this trade, except for the fact that Martin isn't the kind of player we should be looking to trade for right now.
If we were in a different position, like maybe actual contenders, then I’d be more than willing to do that.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personally.
by Panthers FTW on Feb 22, 2012 9:03 AM EST up reply actions
I agree
I think Martin is one of the most underrated scorers in the league. But if we are looking to get younger AND better, i dont see him as “the move”
even though it seems like he's been in the league a gazillion years
he only just turned 28 the other day… he’s entering his “prime” years and if we can hold onto him for 4 years, then he’ll be a good part of our playoff teams
We could then flip Martin to Minny for
Derrick Williams or one of their 1st and fillers, preferably Utah’s. Then next year with our top 5 pick we take Andre Drummond or Nerlens Noel. Then we trade our 2nd,Portland’s 1st and Utah’s 1st and move up to select Rivers.
2012-2014 line up

Im sorry but Gerald Henderson is much better than TWill
I would not mind having Williams but not at a price of giving up Hendo.
If we could get
one of Houston’s picks or multiple first rd’rs I would.
who wouldn't?
you’re saying Hendo for T-Will and a first rounder, if not two first rounders?
I’d do that in a second as long as one of those first rounders was for the upcoming draft
I loves me some Hendo, but he’s probably not apart of long term future, anyway.
"I loves me some Hendo, but he’s probably not apart of long term future, anyway."

He has.
But I don’t believe there is a player on the roster that has proven themselves worthy of being kept around for the long term. In 3 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if no one on the squad was still here. Sure, maybe Hendo, the DJs, Mully, Kemba, and Bismack could end up staying one way or another, but I’m willing to bet that at least 3 of them are gone within the next year or so.

by Charlotte Bobcat on Feb 22, 2012 2:45 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I want to give Hendo a fair shake
to see what he can do with talent around him, but he’s still never been able to create his own shot effectively and, right now, our primary concern is finding someone who can score consistently
If he does stay around, I’ll be quite happy, but there are several free agent candidates in 2013 I’d rather have at this point.
The scoring issue is going to have to be addressed one way or another.

NEW trade idea I found on RealGM...i would def. do this! CHAR/POR/WAS
Wiz trade Blatche+Turiaf (expiring) for Diop+Caroll+Armon Johnson
Por trades Felton (expiring)Armon Johnson (expiring)Elliot Williams for Maggette+Augustine
Cha trades Diop+Caroll+Maggette+Augustine for Blatche+Turiaf (expiring)Felton (expiring)Elliot Williams
We would then amnesty Tyrus
In the offseason we could try make a run after somebody like batum and then draft anthony davis and we’d look like this:
C-Biyombo/Mullins
PF-Blatche/Davis
SF-Batum
SG-Henderson/Williams
PG-Kemba/FA
nice young nucleus
as much as i would LOVE to get rid of Diop
actually, nevermind, i’d trade every player on our roster if it meant we got rid of desagana diop
And I fully believe that Tyrus = amnesty in the Summer of 2012

What about this?
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7l4j65u
We somehow find a way to trick both the Lakers and the Rockets into letting us get rid of Diop, Thomas and Carroll (along with Augustin)?
Derek Fisher won't play
on the East coast
but sub in Steve Blake if the numbers work and I love this trade.
the Lakers are gonna need some draft picks or something, though
i'd do this and then hope next year we could amnesty Maggs
but i really dont see the rockets doing that…they potentially could trade kmart and scola for pau…why would they throw in thabeet, just so they could get diop and carroll back?? they would be adding $6-7 million
like i said, i’d do it…but highly doubt rockets would…i could see the lakers doing it tho
in all honesty
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7tde4ru
this trade works imo, with the Lakers getting one of our future first round picks
How bout this one with Lakers and Rockets
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=76nx68g
Yes we are moving expiring contracts, but the players we are getting back only has 2 or 3 years left on it so it is not that bad. I don’t think we ever need to worry about saving money for a max contract guy because honestly D12 or DWill is not going to sign with us. What we will ending up doing is overpaying guys.
With this trade we could probably get a 1st round pick from Houston or L.A. since they each own 2 in the upcoming draft.
we're in a position that we're going to have to overpay someone anyway
hibbert may not be a max contract guy for some teams, but he is for us and indiana
whatever money we pay them over what the salary standard is will simply be to convince them to actually come here
Or just trade that number 2
pick and Tyrus for Jefferson.
I wouldn't trade the #2 pick for cap relief
Which effectively is all we’re getting in that deal.

And
a allstar caliber center who only 27. That is avging 20 and 10 with 1.6bpg. And has been consistent his whole career and not a knucklehead. He has alot of good years left in him. Brings us much needed inside scoring (scoring period) and a high basketball IQ. What are you talking about?
I think the odds of us extending him after next summer would be low
So therefore he would effectively be a rental for one year, when winning more games and getting worse picks wouldn’t help. The only positive would be if we could flip him at the deadline next year but it’s a risk. You have to remember the beauty of draft picks for a small market team is that we lock a player into a very manageable and cost effective contract for 4 years, not dropping $15 million plus a season for him.

We shouldnt still be fighting for so many great picks
after next season. We are gonna have plenty of capspace this offseason and next. So the time will have to come where we will start fighting for a playoff spot. The team will be completely gutted. So there wont be a reason to keep trying to trade everyone for picks
But I don't think we'll want to sign Jefferson to a max extension either
That will eat up the cap room we have worked so hard to free up.

The type of money
we’ll have in 2013, I dont think having a 20 and 10 center that is under 30 on a max deal is gonna hurt us. If we can trade a few assets for picks this season. (I know I know its a few players we dont wanna wave bye to but I see picks flying. We need to do whatever it takes to get as many as possible) we’d have alot of good players (draft is incredible) on rookie deals. We caI san finally start from scratch and build a team without “elephants in the room”. Jefferson would be a perfect center and our biggest contract. I say do it and continue to groom a young center behind him. Hell, if he isnt what we want, then we can let him walk or trade him for a pick next year. Something we wouldnt be able to do with Tyrus. Plus getting rid of Tyrus gives us room for Jamison and maybe even someone like Anthony Randolph both. Think about it.
Kemba/?
Hendo/Reggie Williams
Maggs/?
Jamison/Randolph
Jefferson/BB
this is not including the Jazz 2 first rd’s (lottery) that we could acquire in the Jefferson deal.
plus the fact that Jefferson, Maggs, Carroll and Williams are all expiring in 2013
we're not getting 2 first rounders from the jazz
even for our top 4 pick if they’re taking tyrus thomas
I think it would be easier to re-sign Jefferson after a trade for him than, say, Roy Hibbert
since he would already be on the team.

I don't mind Beasley
I think he’s a very talented player who hasn’t quite proven that he has the work ethic to be a great pro. Coming out of college, I thought he would be a star in the pros. I don’t have anything against him. I just don’t think teams are necessarily knocking down the Twolves door to get him. He comes with a lot of risks too.

LOL at the tag a longs
it had nothing to do with the game. It has nothing to do with his stats. He has always had good stats. Even in a career low season, his stats are still better than all of our players.

LOL
again…what did Beasley do? Im watching ESPN and Beasley’s name is all over Bball talks. Is it the fact that I was right or are you guys still trying to debate the facts? The dude’s stock is high. Let it go
I'm just clowning
I take any chance I can get to take a shot at Skip Bayless. What an idiot.

Just because he's been talked about in trade rumors
Does not mean his stock his rising. As we get closer to the trade deadline, we’ll start hearing more and more names pop up. It doesn’t have anything to do with whose stock is up or down, it has to do with who’s available. Beasley is a $6.2 million expiring contract, of course he’s going to be sought after in a trade.
Stock
Stock = How much/many other teams want you. That is what STOCK means. So yes his stock is rising. But please stop trying to make it seem its only bc of his expiring. Thats not the ONLY reason. The reason is bc he is good. Even when Aldeman tries to bench him he still comes in and has good games. If it was just because of expirings, then you would hear something about Randy Foye or JJ Hickson.
so many teams "want" him
yet Minnesota is struggling to unload him
doesn’t sound like his stock is that to me
They arent struggling to unload him
where is this? What are you talking about? How are they struggling? If more than one team is after a guy, why would you trade the first offer? Out of all the Beasley rumors I’ve seen, I cant find the “struggle”. Today (Mar 1st) is the first day players that were signed at the beginning of the season are eligible to be traded. So how are they struggling? LOL “I hate when Focus is right”
michael beasley was traded to minnesota last season
the lakers tried to sign him in the off-season… he can be traded anytime and doesn’t have to wait until March 1st, so I don’t know why you brought that up
an offseason deal with the celtics also fell through and reports have emerged that they are in fact considering a trade again
oh and by the way, the only website i could find that even considered Beasley a “hot commodity” was bleacherreport….
from nbc sports’ Kurt Helin:
“I’m beginning to think we should use Michael Beasley as the "desperation meter" between now and the trade deadline — whenever a team considers going after Beasley because "they can turn him around" you know they are desperate”
ps the nets rumors
are from peter vecsay, who is most notorious for printing that lebron was headed to new york before “taking his talents to southbeach” later that night
Do anything you can
Beasley is hot right now. He is on the news. Teams want him. I dont know why its such a debate now. You are my MP. LOL. “Focus cant be right. He just cant be. Even when its ESPN, it cant be true. WHYYYYYYY!?!!?”
Not sure if he's hot
But I bet he’s high.

Without a doubt.

i just watched both new sportscenters and beasley wasn't mentioned once
in fact, the only lakers trade mentioend was a guy saying they needed a PG as their primary trade
You couldnt have
watched the same SportCenter that I watched. Or the same First Take or the same PTI or the same Numbers Dont Lie…
I did not watch the same Sportscenter
I wasn’t implying I had. I was just implying that if he was so “hot”, they would’ve mentioned him again. They did not. They did mention that Rajon Rondo may be up for trade, though.
please don't get me wrong though
with the way he’s playing right now, even though he knows he’s traidbait, whether anyone’s interested or not, I would love to have him play PF for us
granted, I most remember him saying the Heat were guarunteed to beat the Bobcats, and then subsequently got humiliated… that was hilarious
honestly, though, as inconsistent as Derrick Williams has been, the Wolves may just want to let him expire and try to resign him if they want to make any noise in the playoffs this season, lol
ok thats the BleacherReport
I was told that wasnt considered credible around here. So I no longer use it for info when addressing this site. Let it go dude. Teams want B-Eazy baby. He’s a hot commodity. I dont care what teams were gonna do in the offseason. Im talking about now. And right now, his name is being thrown around just as much as any top tier player on the block. Meaning that his stock is up. And yes I read that article like last week. Its no denying what B-Eazy can do.
If anyone takes Beasley
It’s for an expiring salary dump reason only. He’s not getting a sign and trade.

what did he do to you
his stock is high and he’s a good player. Even when he’s being benched he comes in a shows he’s better than everyone on the team. (Except Love) and that is not by a huge margin. Watching PTI…
I'm just saying the rumors for him are because he is expiring only
If he had 4 years, $25 million left on his deal, you wouldn’t be hearing trade rumors.
