Amir Johnson Proposal

[Drwho17]

princeofthepalace, reread your own thread on the trade board.

I see, Kenny Thomas/John Salmons/Charlie Villanueva/Mickael Pietrus/Matt Barnes/Drew Gooden and mutliple 1st rounders for him. Only garbage deals are offered by Shrink and some other out of his mind character, wanting the Pistons to take absolute garbage from the worst team in the NBA for Amir Johnson.

Crap offers, all of them with the LA Mihm and 2 1sts being by far the best.

KT/Salmons = 2nd worse ($12 mil in crap contracts = puke) behind only the Minny one that also had us tossing in Stuckey. Sure Salmons may be able play the backup 3 a bit better than Hayes but Thomas would rot on the pine. That makes Salmons arleady overpriced backup ass even more costly. Joe D is not gonna even contemplate garbage like that.

I propose we keep the young guys and groom them for 3 yrs down the road when our core is done.

Afflalo
Prince/Hayes?/Herrmann?
Maxiell/Amir
draft pick?/Samb?

I proposed a Radmanovic/Mihm for Diop/Hassell to the Mavs a little while ago.

Now how about:

Lakers Get: Amir/Hassell
Lakers Give: Radmanovic/Mihm

Mavs Get: Radmanovic/Mihm
Mavs Give: Diop/Hassell

Pistons Get: Diop
Pistons Give: Amir

Amir comes homes to LA.

Mavs could use a sharp shooter like Radmanovic and Mihm replaces Diop for insurance.

How about the Diop for Amir swap?

Seems like he would fit what the Pistons are looking for.

Thoughts?

My thought is that is complete crap for any team not named the Lakers. Vlad has negative value - no chance he and Mihm land you a young prospect like Amir. Heck, I don't even think you could get Hassell alone for that package.

No thanks

Diop is not a good player at all and Amir has considerable upside. Detroit holds onto him. '

All the trades including Amir have been terrible thus far DrWho, yeah the Mihm + 2 first offer is the best one so far but those other players you have mentioned are terrible.

Also can you imagine how good Amir would be after learning from Kareem, the Johnson/Bynum front court would be insane in a few years.

[JustinSane]

I'd think about that one a little bit.. I think Diop could be quite helpful and is a legit upgrade over Brezec. Still, don't think we'd do it.

[ajaX82]

I would actually certainly consider that deal. Diop rebounds and blocks shots with the absolute best, and he is a legit 7 footer. Hes still pretty young too iirc.

[theBigLip]

I'd consider Diop for Amir. It does give us a young big for the future (and now).

Diop

Not a bad future core...

[Hunter]

The thing with Diop is he really doesn't have an upside. He pretty much is what he is; a 15-20 mpg backup who can block a few shots & hit the glass, but who overall isn't a particularly strong defender and with no offensive game. It's true he's relatively young (25) but it's also true he's virtually the same player he was 3 years ago.

He'd be a nice guy to have off the bench as the 8th or 9th man, but if you are projecting him as some sort of future cornerstone then you are reaching.
