Trade Idea Thread

[mkwest]

Iguodala would be really nice, but I think it would be too complicated to make it work. Philly wants to unload Brand or Dalembert if they give up Iggy. It would have to be Dalembert. Although taking him is not ideal, the bright side would be that he is a 2010-2011 expiring and that we'd get to keep our exceptions.

I wasn't too fond of trading for Butler, but that is out of the question now as Loflin mentioned. Jamison could help initially, but he's going to be 34 in June and wouldn't really fit into any long-term plans imo.

[Det the Threat]

Iguodala is too big of an investment for Sterling. The Clippers FO have only traded for short contracts with only one or two years remaining since Dunleavy came to town, and considering how complicated a deal it would have to be to bring Iguodala to LA, I'm thinking it's not going to happen.

Caron Butler was somebody I thought Dunleavy might go after, but he's off the table now. So far Dunleavy has thought outside the box with some of his moves that has surprised a lot of us fans. I think if Dunleavy makes a deal before the deadline, it won't be somebody we expect. My dark horse is Antawn Jamison.

I don't think it would be too complicated to trade for Igoudala, as long as the Sixers don't find a team that wants to take on Dalembert or Brand as well. And with Dallas out of the race and Cleveland considered to be thinking about Amare or Jamison, i doubt they'll be ableo to do such a deal.

We could take on Kapono and Green as well, without shipping out Kaman, Griffin, Gordon or Baron, while still giving them expirings.
Though, we'll see.

BTW: Jamison would be a real bad move, cause he can't defend and is a pure tweener forward that would really hurt us defensively at the sf position. He's also way too old for my liking.
A guy that might be a dark horse is Shawn Marion. I'm not a huge fan(he's not as good as he was in Phoenix) of his, but if there'd be a third team interested in Camby's expiring and also able to give up a SG(maybe Detroit with Rip Hamilton) there might be something that could be worked out.

Though, i'd rather do nothing instead of trading for Jamison or Marion.

Like i said, it all depends on Philly finding a team that would take Dalembert or Brand off their hands. If they can't find one and are still trying to unload Iggy with contracts like Kapono's or Green's for expirings, then we've got a shot.

As far as Jamison goes. I really don't want to see him here, cause i doubt he fits our other pieces.

what do you guys think of this. I've been trying to find a way to bring Iggy to Clippers. After 30min I came up with this. No draft picks involved.

I have been trying to do the same thing in finding a way to bring Iggy to LAC, but that trade would leave us with 0 PFs.

Never mind I was drunk when I posted that. Too complicated draft. It looks like to work out a simple 2 team with Philly there are only 2 ways. We give our 1st draft pick with Thornton and Camby. Or we take Dalembert or Brand! but we have give all our expirings which would leave us with a 8 man roster.

But Iggy would be the perfect fit for us. I hope Dunleavy can figure out a way to bring him to Clippers

[loflin3hree5ive]

To be clear, I'm not lobbying for Jamison. More of a prediction. Iguodala would be ideal. His ball handling and rebounding is just what the Clippers back court needs. Only problem is he may be out of our price range. Philly is balking so far at Iguodala for Amare Stoudemire. Unless Phoenix is refusing to take Dalembert/Kapono, it doesn't appear Camby will be enough.

The Clippers had some interest in Walton a year or so ago. Any interest in Walton plus a first?

no dude. We are looking for a legit starting SF not a 3rd option

[Jajwanda]

I thought you guys were looking for depth too while not altering 2010. As a starter Prince has to be a Clipper sooner or later, it was just made to happen.

We have depth with Butler and Thornton. Our FA options are limited Lebron, Wade, Joe Johnson and Rudy Gay. I think Iguodala would be a safer bet.


BTW I think I found a way to bring Iggy to Clippers.
Check out this trade http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachi ... Id=yjyoyf8
I think/hope every team would agree on this.

What exactly are the Clippers looking for in return for Camby? I heard from a friend at the poker table that Clips declined a trade for Caron? Is that true?

I personally really like idea of Battier, Andersen, & Cook for Camby & Butler. Although I think the Clippers have 15 players under contract right? Another player would have to be added if thats the case. Idk if it works with R. Davis involved. It works with Novak but the Clips seem to like the kid and unforntuantley the Rockets weren't :/

Anyways how about that trade? Clippers get the ultimate glue guy veteran prescense at the SF spot. A lock down defender as well. Some cheap depth at PF/C with Andersen, who's contract isn't fully guaranteed either. And Cook is just a cheap filler, 3.5 million expiring deal.

Rockets get an upgrade at Center and open up minutes for Budinger as they'd continue to fight for a playoff spot.

[pilprin]

Are the clips looking for players or expiring deals?

[PerkinsFor3]

since thornton was made available for trades this week, we might see camby/telfair leave soon.

[ClipperEric]

Camby + Thornton for Boris Diaw.

Diaw can play for the 4 for now, and next year when Blake returns he moves to the 3.

[BadWolf]

What about Iguodala, Dalembert for Kaman, expirings - Camby or smaler if enough

Dalembert will fit better next year then Kaman. He's a much better defender, shot blocker and rebounder and doesn't need the ball. Baron, EJ, Griffin and Dala all need touches, so swaping Kaman for Dalembert might actually help team chemistry and defense and wouldn't stop the offense at all with the probable emergence of Griffin. Maybe Sixers should add a sweetener, Smith?

Hehe...

Clippers get:
Monta Ellis
Andre Iguodala

76ers get:
Al Thornton
DeAndre Jordan
Sebastian Telfair
Raja Bell

Warriors get:
Marcus Camby
Eric Gordon
Willie Green
Ricky Davis

[loflin3hree5ive]

Eric Gordon >>> Monta Ellis

Well, GSW would need to buy out 2 players before doing this,and don't want R Davis or W Green.
Interesting in that it's not the same old thing. GSW may like Gordon,but would be damn fools to enable the Clips to get a young core of Ellis-Iggy-Griffin-Kaman-Whatever. Sixers drop a bit of contract,but nobody they get comes close to replacing Iggy.

[old rem]

Eric Gordon >>> Monta Ellis

Based on some special abstract measure where no element of performance or ability is involved.
Al Thornton >>>Danny Granger?

[donemilio21]

I really don't see how Ellis and Baron can play together. I mean if a coach can make it work that would be sick. Also Sixers wouldn't want Telfair

[loflin3hree5ive]

If Ellis is so good where is his team USA invite? Gordon got one. What Gordon doesn't have are articles writing about how overrated he is.
