That is a definite play-off team with all-stars/border-line all-stars at every position (except for Rubio perhaps). But then again it could be stuck in mediocrity for awhile too. Who says no, things that should be altered/suggestions?

That would be great for the Wolves but I don't think any of the other teams would accept those offers.

I don't think that the value is way off though. Probably Indiana would want more, but the other two teams aren't doing badly.

I agree. Take out them giving the 15, and send them the 16 (we'd have to buy a 30 to avoid the Stepien rule) and I think all three could be acquired.

Financially, it's a one-way ticket, and very few teams without a defined superstar ever win the title. But those are a lot of very good players right there

Put in an MLE player, and a vet-min guy or two, and that looks like a play-off team to me. It'd at least be a lot more fun to go watch for fans, and I'd enjoy seeing a couple LAC posters cry as they had to admit the MIN future 1st wasn't going to be Derrick Rose or Blake Griffin.

[JMillott]

I don't think the 76ers are going to want four questionable assets for Iggy and they surely aren't going to give up a pick while doing so.

I don't think Indy would want any of those pieces nevermind giving up an allstar in his prime for them.

The Bogut deal seams unlikely because #1 they would've paid Ridnour to keep him when they had Bogut and thought they were heading upwards and i'm assuming they're going to insist on a team eating one or two of Gooden, Maggette, Salmons contracts to get him. I don't really see the point of trading him unless they can clear some of those deals.

[Basti]

Looks very good on paper but gutting the entire team for somewhat injury-prone 2nd fiddle players is a bit risky to me. If it was only one of them I'd roll the dice but gutting the entire team, that I'd rather give another season with a better coaching staff, is a bit too risky for me.

If we're "going for broke", I'd rather do the "Nash/Gortat for #2 and a bunch of other stuff, then Iggy for Wes" idea that was proposed in another thread. Nash/Iggy/Beas/Love/Gortat with some combination of Ricky/Ellington/Web/AR or AT off the bench.

I'd be in favor of that but I thought it had been brought up and didn't get favorable reviews. I'm not sure PHX would accept it is probably what happened.

[Devilzsidewalk]

probably don't even need the Beasley/Granger part. More realistic financially too.

[younggunsmn]

Wow that's highly creative, but I think Ind and Phi decline pretty easily.

Thanks for the replies. To the original trade we could send the #16 to Indiana instead and have them keep their pick or just have them keep their pick.

Two trade ideas before I post one to the main board:

MN out: #2, Johnson, MIlicic, Ridnour, Flynn, Webster, Utah 1st
MN in: Nash, Iguodala, Gortat

PHX out: Iguodala
PHX in: Johnson, Milicic, Utah 1st

PHX out: Nash, Gortat
PHX in: #2, Ridnour, Flynn, Webster, Pekovic

This is similar to one already posted so I'm not sure I can do this one.

MN out: #2, Johnson, Milicic, Pekovic, Ridnour, Flynn, Utah 1st
MN in: Bogut, Iguodala

MIL out: Bogut
MIL in: #2, Pekovic, Ridnour, Utah 1st

PHI out: Iguodala
PHI in: Johnson, Milicic, Flynn

Rubio/
Iguodala/Webster
Beasley/Webster
Love/Randolph
Bogut/Tolliver

Should be a much-improved team defensively and win-wise. Thoughts or suggestions!?
