TI: Win Now 3-Way Trade

[eagle13]

Good trade but
IS Jax a reliable consistent outside shooter? Odom surely is not. b/c with Redd & CV gone we loose our last ones.
Hasn't Jax been sorta a head case w/ Pacers?
I'd love Odom - as a SF - but we got a better one. As a PF? OK but not excited bout it.

CV MIGHT be as good as Odom. So only IF Jax is excellent as 3 pt shooter do I consider this.

i'd do that in a heartbeat, though sessions isn't proven yet, having backup vet Tyrone Lue makes me pull this trigger in a flash, this improves our team drastically

Warriors are not going to trade SJax for that package. They have him for great contract (great for Warriors) and he is their face right now. Maybe Jones (expiring) + our 1st round pick would do that.

A win now trade that has a unproven player that has never won a game as a starter at PG?

That is an interesting concept that would no doubt fail.

Ya, sure. Just ask the celtics about how it worked for them with Rondo.

so you're saying that redd/jefferson/bogut = ray/pierce/garnett?

cause that's what it sounds like

No, he's implying that Rondo was an unproven player that had never won a game as a starter at PG... which is not true. Rondo was 7-18 as a starter before this past season.

The underlying point is pretty clearly that the other four players matter a great deal... also, it wouldn't be comparing Redd/Jefferson/Bogut to Ray/Pierce/Garnett, as Redd is getting moved in this deal.

Are you saying that neither Rondo nor Sessions would win a game with Jackson/Jefferson/Odom/Bogut? 'Cause that's what it sounds like.

[emunney]

Rondo's winning % as a starter, by the way, was lower than the team's winning percentage on the season, yet team management entrusted him to start on a title contender (and eventual champion).

The specific scenario LP outlined is the one that's directly contradicted by the Rondo example. It doesn't have to extend any farther than that.

And no, I don't actually think it sounds like you were saying neither Rondo nor Sessions would win a game with that hypothetical Bucks lineup. I was just making the same disjointed leap you made.

good trade for us considering Odom expires as well, GS gets hosed. If GS is out of it by the deadline I could then see them do a rebuild deal. With Mullin on the hotseat and Nellie coming back they will try to win first. I don't think they have a chance in the west.

This deal saves GS a total of 11-12 million over the next 2 years, and after voiding Monta, it opens room next year. They may be more interested if they could move Al for an expiring too. Enter Damon Jones.

Other teams also have expirings. I visit Cavs forums and I know that Cavs fans would be happy to trade some of their expirings + their first round pick for SJax. The only way we can beat that offer is if we give our pick and expiring.
