Official trade thread 2012-13

I'm down that for deal. It was a rumor months ago from Ireland. Perhaps the recent Laker rumors about Smith are bargaining measures.

Steve Blake for Xavier Henry? New Orleans' PGs are terrible, absolutely terrible. Blake can play next to Rivers and help the young combo guard while hitting shots and at least try to get that team in decent offensive sets. I doubt New Orleans is looking to blow much cash next year and if they're going to sign a stopgap until they draft another PG at least Blake only has one year.

Another option would be Blake for Caroll since Caroll really doesn't play and will likely be bought out.

Ney york becomes freaking awesome.... We get more athletic (with a large expirign contract in Josh Smith), and get rid of Blake and Duhon...Atlanta gets their Center

It wouldn't hurt to sign Tracy McGrady. He was actually very solid in minimal minutes for Atlanta.

[WCDYNASTY]

As you know, Kyrie Irving will be out four weeks with a non-displaced fracture of his left index finger. They have a couple other point guards in Sloan and Pargo who are horrible.

Maybe the Lakers could send Chris Duhon ($3,500,000) and Earl Clark ($1,240,000 - EXP) to the Cavs for Daniel Gibson ($4,792,332 - EXP)... the Cavs would get a decent PG to start while Kyrie recovers and the Lakers would get an expiring contract in Gibson, not to mention that he is a good 3pt shooter who could probably do well in D'Antoni's offense. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Gibson is a great option here but I'd rather have his expiring contract than Duhon's (2-years including this season) & Clark's... worse case scenario the Lakers would have an expiring contract to trade before the deadline.

[Kobe System]

Another shooter? Yes please. But he will be our third string PG once Nash gets back. I still want Morris to be our back up PG. Can he play SG on a small ball?

[GAME TIME]

This guy seems to get injured a lot for a young player.

Boobie plays both guard positions so yes.

Been a fan of him since 2007 seeing him against the Pistons and I'd love him on this team. He does get hurt a lot though

[Edrees]

Duhons been playing pretty well for us. I'd rather trade blake

[Kobean]

I'd rather bring back Goudelock to be honest but either would be good.

[Jajwanda]

I don't think most people realize how good Boobie is. If you take the defensive aspect of the game away from him (by putting him on PGs), you're talking about a guy that on a mediocre team has consistently shot in the 40s...

Ray Allen's percentage jumped ten points going to an elite team. Boobie is an elite shooter, no not a good shooter a great one. Next to Kobe and Morris he'd be something.
