We do the same thing over on the Lakers board. Man this season sucks.

EDIT: I really do think the Bucks are the Lakers best potential trade partner though. Alot of different combinations can be done that make sense to both squads.

The Lakers won't need to take on salary to trade Pau is my guess. At the same time, I don't think they are in position to demand young assets at all either. Useful expirings is what I expect them to receive if Pau is moved.

well its "Not Realistic" that the bucks will "Blow It Up".. so this whole thread is based on "Unrealistic Ideas".
Trades that have fair values and work in trade machines are fair game. They are however not predictions, when you do mock drafts in football, do you do what you would want and think best for the team.. or guess what TT would do?

There was a rumor a little while ago regarding LaMarcus Aldridge. Any way we could still get him? What would it take?

I wonder what they would think of a Ersan/Dalembert swap.

If LA wants Ellis, Daly or Udrih then sure. The Bucks would make for great trade partners.

A prediction.. hmm
Bucks stand pat
Give Jennings 5/60m
Ellis/Udrih/Dale/Dunleavy walk next season for nothing
We sign Millsap for 4/58m
We sign Devin Harris for 3/20m
We sign Johny Flynn 2/4m
resign Daniels

Jennings/D.Harris/Flynn
D.Harris/Daniels/Lamb
T.Harris/Moute
Millsap/Ersan/Henson
Sanders/Udoh/Gooden/Pryz

if the lakers dont want salary back then ellis/ dalembert/udoh for gasol would be go time for me.

i just would make certain that we had a 2nd deal for a random sg in place before we pulled the trigger. ellis impact wouldnt be difficult to replace but the idea that hes somehow a net negative is dumb. we wouldnt be better with simple subtraction. we'd need a random veteran sg..... think delfino/ bellineli level..... available to replace him. then wed use that guy along with dunleavy at that spot, and give mam and harris more minutes at the 3.

henson, ersan, sanders, and gasol would be a premier frontcourt in the league. we wouldnt need much to compliment them and not see a marked improvement.

I don't even think I'd include Udoh. Ellis/Dalembert, take it or leave it. I think most Laker fans were up for that deal actually.

And I'd only do the above deal if we were mandated to make a win now move, much rather get a lottery pick or young prospect if we can for Monta.

perfect....

then flip udoh/ daniels for redick
or
udoh/ daniels/ #1 for affalo

I don't think that gets it done for Redick, but I'd do that.

add the pick.... chase affalo or redick with the pick. that pick in this draft is worth giving up if we go get gasol. either one of those gaurds would make us nasty.

jennings/ udrih
redick/ dunleavy
mam/ dunleavy
sanders/ ersan
gasol/ henson

that lineup makes alot of noise in the playoffs

Jennings / Afflalo / Mam / Sanders / Pau would at least finally be an extremely solid win now roster.

I know I'm in the huge minority
but id rather do

Milwaukee - Toronto
Ellis for Derozan/Kleiza

Milwaukee - New York
Gooden/Kleiza/Ersan/2nd for Stoudemire/Shumpert

Jennings/Udrih
Shumpert/Dunleavy/Lamb
Derozan/Moute/Harris
Stoudemire/Henson/Udoh
Sanders/Dale/Pryz

Thank God you are not running this team.

Wouldn't take on Amare's uninsured contract for anything.

You don't think it would be a good idea to pay Amare 20m for each of the next two years? Stun

gooden/ersan/kleiza for 18m or amare 20 .. seems a wash, we don't need depth... kleiza and gooden should never play so its beasically Ersan vs Amare at the PF, and hes off the books about the time we need to pay Larry and Henson

and getting shumpert is the goal.

That's true but if they want to salvage this season and next year, they need to do something drastic, which is likely to occur given Kobe's age.

Trade Kobe.

Yeah .. they should, but they won't. He'll retire a Laker.
