Trade Dre ASAP

I personally would like to see Denver trade Andre Miller ASAP for some young talent, a back-up PG preferably. He is a FA after this season and I'm sure would walk away to be a starter elsewhere. His numbers are decent for a back-up PG, but with the pace of game that George Karl wants, Dre is not the right fit.

I would love to package him up with Rudy for a good PG, any ideas?

Also, if Wilson Chandler signs with Denver, there is going to be an odd man out - Brewer, Faried, Rudy, Harrington. My guess is Denver will try and ship out dollars to sign Chandler so they can avoid the luxury tax penalty. If he wants a long term deal, say 4 years at 36-40 million, does someone become the amnesty victim? Bird, Dre or Al?

Is there a problem in the locker room? Ty taking so few shots and things are starting to give me different view.

As for the amnesty , it will be used either on Al or Bird i think. If we can trade Bird before deadline then Al becomes prime candidate for amnesty since Miller is expiring.

Hard to say if there is a problem in the locker room....Ty just had a bad game today, never got into it and was outplayed vs Memphis. I think Denver management are 'showcasing' Bird right now to see if there are any takers.

Whilst Al has had a decent season, GK relies on him way too much. If no one wants Dre though, I see Bird getting the cut, because Big Al can just offer more on the court scoring wise.

I'd be very intrigued to see what JStone can do with backup minutes. He's certainly the answer to Ty's not-being-very-good-at-being-tall problem. His offense is pretty unique and might require certain skills (esp. outside shooting) to be provided by his teammates, but i think this team should be a feisty, defensive, always beating you down both ends of the court team for 48 minutes a night. Miller takes them out of that mode. Would gladly trade him for cap and pick, maybe less. i think he can help another team (he's won a few Nugs games single-handedly, it seems), but is hurtin more than helping now.

Chicago want Pau Gasol, but need a 3rd team to do it, this works:

Lakers get - Carlos Boozer from CHI, Andre Miller from DEN
Chicago get - Pau Gasol from LA, Corey Brewer from DEN
Denver get - Steve Blake from LA, Kyle Korver from CHI

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6v78ha3

Why for LA? They get a quality starting PG in Dre, and a PF in Boozer

Why for Chicago? They get the Centre they want and Corey is an upgrade over Ronnie at SG

Why for Denver? They get a decent backup PG in Blake, a great three point shooter off the bench in Korver, and don't risk Andre Miller leaving in the off season for nothing.

I do think we should look to trade Dre.

I know for certain that we will drop playoffs games we've won because Karl will use Lawson-Dre to finish.
