The trade value index 

Post#1 » by karch34 » Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:39 pm

I borrowed this from Bill Simmons who does his top 50 or so players in terms of most likely to be traded to untouchable. The lower the number the more untradeable and of course contract comes into play. This is my own version for the Wolves, all for fun of course.

THE PLEASE CALL US DIVISION:
15. Gerald Green: Not getting playing time. Wants to be traded. Not likely to be re-signed.
14. Michael Doleac
13. Mark Madsen: No one's interested and while the team likes him, he's not getting any run and is an easy to move contract.
12. Greg Buckner: With Foye set to come back and seeing time at off guard, Buckner's dwindling minutes disappear. Should have some interest from a playoff team needing a good vet and some perimeter D.

THE WE WON'T GIVE THEM AWAY FOR A BAND CONTRACT, BUT WE'RE LISTENING DIVISION:
11. Antoine Walker: Has played better than hoped and has been a good leader, but easily parted with.
10. Marko Jaric: If his contract was less $ or years, they'd probably be more inclined to keep him.
9. Chris Richard: They like him, but would listen if an offer came that made sense.
8. Craig Smith: Great role player, but with the current lineup and likelihood of Walker staying not a great fit and likely to leave this offseason.

THE WE'RE PROBABLY NOT CONSIDERING IT DIVISION:
7. Rashad McCants: Management might be considering it, but it'd have to be a good deal.
6. Sebastian Telfair
5. Corey Brewer

THE YOU'D HAVE TO KNOCK OUR SOCKS OFF DIVISION:
4. Theo Ratliff: This is contract only. If there was a no-brainer deal we'd look at it, but more likely going to let him expire and save some $.
3. Ryan Gomes: His trade value is high, but his value to the team is higher.
2. Randy Foye

THE WE'RE NOT EVEN RETURNING YOUR CALLS DIVISION:
1. Al Jefferson

I like that list, a lot. I may put Craig Smith on that "call us" list just because I think we should resign Gomes over Smith. Might as well try to move him for a piece we need like an actual center.

I would like us to keep Brewer and Gomes, but if one had to go I would rather keep Brewer.

:rofl: couldn't you at least find a reason raise his value a lil bit?

anyway I kinda agree with your post though I'd put randy foye between the last two groups
