Trade Targets

[N Ireland Nets]

I hope you guys do understand, guys like Lillard and Drummond are flusishing not only due to their talent but also coaching.

I'm willing to bet, Lillard or Drummond would be buried on the bench and sent in and out to the D-league instead of given minutes like Mirza or Toko.

Maybe, but Drummond would be a huge trade asset if he didn't play a single minute.

That trade is embarrassing for the Raptors. Keep their fans in your thoughts.

Raptors should've kept it as is & moved Calderon & Bargnani for assets. Gave up as late a lotto pick to OKC this year, tank like a mofo & aim for a top pick in 2014 for a potential star like Wiggins.

Then start spending the cap room to try & compete.

If I were the Raptors I'd move DeRozan for whatever they can pick up & go with Ross as the SG with Gay SF

Haddadi is to be bought out apparently, would one of our trade exemptions to acquire him as a backup big somehow?

More a question in regards the TE rather than the player.

I'd love to go sign Oden

Yeah, you could trade for Haddadi, they're both big enough. The only problem would be the outgoing assets, as the Nets do not have a second round pick to send out as far as I know.

Do teams never do TE for player deals or is there usually an additional asset like a 2nd rounder like the Evans deal?

I'm really fearing the Griz blow it up. That's the last thing I want, Zach Randolph screams of a Billy King move.

Just curious... why would you oppose a trade for Randolph? I'm not saying I would approve a deal, but why are you so vehemently against it? We have little chance of improving. Randolph is head and shoulders above Evans/Humphries. We'd be much better.

From earlier in the the thread:

Randolph is a really good player, but I'm not sold on him either. I think he'd be a bad fit with Brook and he's falling off a touch himself. I don't like the idea at all really and the sad part to me is he screams of a Billy King type of move. And he'll overpay. Randolph is a guy I think most GM's realize is in the picture perfect lineup to make him effective and wouldn't shine like this many other places, at all. I'd bet the Grizz would simply take an expiring a a 1st, maybe MarShon as well for him, at best. Yet my money would be on Billy literally shipping out all 3 1sts, Brooks and Bogdanovic for him, parading him around as this "Look what I did guys!" move and the other rival GM's snickering away again.

He's a low post iso big for the most part. Also baseline extended face up guy with his jumper and a little bit of put the ball on the floor stuff.

Duplicates too much of what Brook does. His impact comes mainly through his scoring, but he's not an athletic wing who stretches the D and defends, so adding that variable alone isn't a huge improvement to me.

He's very mediocre in the pick and roll and is something of a black hole at times.

His athleticism is nonexistent.

He's pretty bad on defense. Marc Gasol and their high level athletic wings cover for him like crazy. Marc Gasol has been a DPOY candidate and has gone from decently mobile to extremely mobile for his size.

And just like that you've convinced me.

You need to send something out, even if it's nothing in substance, ie: a top 55 protected 2nd rounder. You can't just send out a puff of air when a player is coming back.

So we couldn't just send our TE for Okur or Williams to the Raptors for Haddadi & that's?

I'm too lazy to check the CBA FAQ, so I'll rely on you, so you're sure that's correct? I thought that was only on draft pick trades on draft night?

Also we have a 2016 2nd round pick left, we must because we have a pick swap option with LAC that year from the Evans trade AFAIK, unless that then went to Atlanta.

See that's how Billy King does. He gets that extra value back. Don't worry about those 2014 and 15 swap options with Atlanta, we got the Clips for a 2nd round swap in 16 bitches!

Yet you are in love in pairing Pau and Brook together?? LOL
