somehow I want Devin Harris.

[Doormatt]

we all wonder why

Blake for Royce White ? High Risk High Return,,

[Jajwanda]

Steve Blake for Jason Maxiell. Why it makes sense? Will Bynum can't play next to Rodney Stuckey. Steve Blake on the other hand can play and play well next to a playmaking SG. Blake is an inexpensive backup and I expect Detroit to sign a guy next year to be a true backup anyway.

I have a question what are we going to do with Jason Maxiell because we already have a enough bigs unless we are trading one of them.

[Jajwanda]

His contract is shorter and he gives you a tough big man that can hit the mid-range so when Blake Griffin is running by Pau we have a guy that can at least hedge well. Unlike Hill Millsap can play next to Howard effectively.

You mean Maxwell. Also bringing in Maxwell might mean Pau will be dealt.

Would the Hawks trade Smith and Teague for Gasol, Blake and filler?

[Jajwanda]

I don't think so. Now that said it could be possible that L.A. is looking at another player and Smith is just a possibility. Paul Millsap is perfect for what L.A. needs right now. Remember how Marion made LeBron work on every play in the Finals? Millsap would do that and then some. He'd be affordable to resign compared to Pau, he's young enough, and he hustles on every play.

A pure excellent fit that has no future in Utah.

Pretty sure ATL would hang up the phone at that offer, eablink.

Blake for Royce White ? High Risk High Return,,

He can continue to sit on his ass wasting his days away on Twitter bitching about PT and how much of a victim he is. High return? Dwight will learn to shoot FT's before that happens. There isn't much promise there to counteract the risk. Do. Not. Want.

if he doesnt have any future in utah why would gasol?

[Jajwanda]

His price tag in a three-way deal is more reasonable. Utah fans won't go through the "we're sick of the guy, yet we're going to charge the moon for him" routine.

[Doormatt]

wait that makes zero sense to me. millsap is at worst an equal player on a far better contract and youre telling me utah fans would prefer gasol? its not like they have any albatross contracts they need to dumb.

[Jajwanda]

No Millsap is a player that they need to get value for before he leaves and to open up playing time for their draft picks.

Something like Cleveland sends Thompson, two firsts for Gasol, the Lakers get a huge TPE, Millsap, and Utah gets value before he leaves.

Marvin Williams whose currently ballin'?

no need for Gasol there. they have a promising back up for Al in Kanter, Favors' development will stay stagnant when you swap Pau for Millsap. Al Jeff for Pau on the other hand can work with Utah. though I'm not sure how he'd work with Dwight.
