What pieces would seem fair for you guys? What position do you need the most?

A guard forward or legitimate backup pg. Neither could be had for Hasheem. I'd rather keep him than trade him for what he's worth (which is pretty much nothing). A fair trade would probably be Mekel for Hash, but there's no way Mekel would be seeing playing time either.

Basically, the guys like Thabeet, he is a good locker room guy, and he keeps the mood light plus has six fouls. There's no reason to trade him because his only value is as an end of bench presence and he is already acquainted with the team. More likely to release him than trade for other dead weight.

So I doubt a Felton for Him be out of the question? We need a big

Andray Blatche,
How would he fit in, how much would he cost

Not much, maybe vet min, at most probably 2-3 mil. If Thabeet is cut, he's a possibility.

Felton makes too much and has fallen to the point where Telfair might be a better player.

Just lost interest....according to a guy on the trade board (Trader Joe), he's had issues that haven't gone away. Drinking pregame, etc. And TJ has sauces.

How about,after 12/15 when Telfair could be included in a trade, Perkins,Telfair, Thabeet and a 1st for Hibbert. Hibbert fell apart this year, but was really good the year prior and could pair with Adams to give good depth and flexibility at center.

From me, hell yes. The Pacers wouldn't though.

Yeah, The value in this would be way to great to pass up from our POV.

The Pacers are a mess. They lost Lance Stephenson, George is gone for the year, and Hibbert was bad last year, especially in the postseason. I think they view that contract as an albatross and would like to get out of it, tank this year and then come back strong next year with George and a high draft pick.

[Kizz Fastfists]

Yes, the Pacers would move Hibbert in the right deal. So if you want to give them Perkins, Adams and Reggie for Hibbert they will say yes. I'm not willing to do that and Indy isn't going to give away an elite rim protector, despite his flaws, for nothing. Especially as overrated as Hibbert is. Some team could be dumb enough to trade too much value for Hibbert. Why would you want a center who shots under 45% from the field, a rebounding rate lower then Perkins and a max(ish) contract?

Its only a 2 year contract......it's also got a PO after this season. So basically, a year of still being average, then PG returns with the rest of the roster. They won't tank, and they like Hibbert too.

Ah...boomking's a Wiz fan, maybe that's why he's killing the Pacers.

I don't dislike the Pacers. I actually rooted for them when they were a gritty overachieving team 2 years ago. They may want to keep Hibbert, but in fairness to me, after I posted the Hibbert trade idea, Probasketballtalk talk posted two separate articles about the Pacers shopping Hibbert for Dragic and then Monroe. I think the price could drop as we get closer to the trade deadline.

Fair enough . I actually think he would have fit well w/ the Suns, but I don't see why Detroit would have had any interest. If the price is right, I'd love him on OKC.

Sorry to keep intruding from the Wizards board. You guys should make a play for Monroe. Because of his lack of defense and shooting, he is not going to be worth the salary for a lot of teams. We would however mesh very well with Ibaka, who is an elite rim protector and can space the floor. Monroe would give you guys a bull inside, bringing post scoring and rebounding. As an excellent passer, I think he would fit nicely in your system. He would be expensive, likely putting you guys above the luxury threshold on a yearly basis, but adding another piece now, and showing a willingness to go above the cap would certainly make a statement to KD, and make it less likely that he leaves.

We already discuss this. It's not going to happen, and OKC don't want to add another over-paid player that cannot play defense. He's not worth a max contract in my opinion. Some posters mentioned Pek, Gasol (Marc), if they were available for the right price. OKC still need another SG.

I would take Monroe in a heartbeat even on a max contract. He's not a good defender but he looks about average when playing the center position. It's not his fault Detroit doesn't understand that players have positions. They have a sg playing point, A pf playing the 3 and a center playing the 4. If Detroit would take Lamb, Perkins, hasheem and a first I'd be all over it. They won't though.
