Raps' Official 2013 Offseason Transaction Idea Thread, Pt. 2

[CoachJReturns]

we need to get in on Aldridge ASAP without giving up Lowry/Gay/JV if that's possible

I would love LMA on this team. I was trying to find a deal that works. I would love this, I know Portland fans will not like it but I feel Derozan has high value around the league. Much like how Bargnani was perceived to be unmoveable I think Demar has high value being only 23.

Derozan + Amir + Acy + TOR 2014 1st RD Pick + NYK 2016 1st RD Pick

For

Alridge + Matthews

Lillard/Derozan/Batum is a solid wing rotation to build on.

Lowry / Augustin / Buycks
Matthews / Ross
Gay / Fields
Alridge / Novak
Val / Hansbrough / Gray

I'm a huge tank supporter, but I'd be pretty happy with this lineup. It has really nice balance to it. Add in mid to late first round picks in 2015, 16 etc... and we could add depth. Maybe even find an underrated point guard to be a long term starter down the road.

I do that minus DD and Matthews. DD is better and younger. The only thing Matthews has on him is a 3pt shot.

I love DD but I think the added 3 point shooting & defense beside 2 ball dominant players in Gay & LMA is more balanced.

Detroit In: Gay, Lowry
Detroit Out: CV, Stuckey, Monroe, Knight

Cleveland In: Monroe
Cleveland Out: T. Thompson, A. Bennett

Toronto In: CV, Stuckey, Knight, T. Thompson, A. Bennett
Toronto Out: Gay, Lowry

Why Detroit? Move Smith to 4 where he belongs, gives them some shooters and a motivated point ready to prove himself.

Why Cleveland? Gives them a budding all-star in Monroe, complementary to Bynum.

Why Toronto? Young with tons of upside, but for this season, definitely tank worthy. Throw in the money they save, plus the hometown boys. Maybe too good for the Raps.

Augustin/Knight/Buycks
Derozan/Ross/Stuckey
Fields/Novak/Bennett
Thompson/Amir/CV
JV/Hansborough/Amir

Not a trade but we should have signed Aaron Brooks instead of Augustin and he was cheaper!

Maybe he wasn't for us... He has a history with a Morey, and playing with Dwight et al. Is a little more tempting.

Aldridge and Batum

For

Gay and Derozan

Both teams get quality
Casey get his defensive wing and Jv gets a offensive pf at his side.

Everyone retains picks and no one is getting short changed with junk filler.

Aldridge >> Gay

Batum >>>>>>>> Demar

Come on mang. You know that ain't realistic.

[Lippo]

Drummond >>>>JV. Gay is a negative..... It would be like the Raptors trading JV for Amare

[TANKNATION]

seriously... ive been thinking what would it honestly take to get lamarcus Aldridge, if we had him we would be instant contenders with our flaw prolly being the bench and lack of 3 point shooting... u think a 2014 first pick + NY 2016 pick + amir + ross + fields can get it done?

You gotta tell me what you are smoking man...

First off, we probably give out the worst package out of all the teams involved, but we receive the best back? Man, we receive Bennett, Thompson, Knight AND EXPIRING CONTRACTS for a really decent player who has entered his prime and a point guard who has problem with coaches? AND, why does Cleveland give up their young and promising prospects for Monroe, who can barely play defence and has not been improving every year the league?

I'm sorry man, this trade does not make sense for any of the teams (well except for us). Keep on dreaming.

Regardless of how stupid the whole trade is, you mean to tell me we get Bennett and put him behind Fields and Novak? Lord have mercy.

I don't know if this has been covered, but does anyone else think we should take a flier on Austin Daye?

[bboyskinnylegs]

I don't know if this has been covered, but does anyone else think we should take a flier on Austin Daye?

I wouldn't. Daye is 25 now, hasn't really shown much of anything in 4 seasons, and we already have Gay/Novak/Fields taking all of the available minutes at SF.

[Volcano]

It's basically Rudy + Lowry for Bennett..everyone else in that trade sucks ass. If Bennett doesn't become better than Rudy, then that trade is bad for us. We get expirings, but we're not likely to sign a good enough FA to make up for it.

I'm not saying he would be getting a ton of minutes. But maybe learning from Gay in practice. He could be our human victory cigar. I think it's worth a take to see if there's anything left. Having watched him in DET, I feel he was misused and didn't really get a chance with Prince around.

[WigginsNation]

MU should be targetting Charlotte for trades. I'd be willing to trade all three of Lowry, Demar and Gay for their prospects and picks.

Lowry, Demar, Gay

for

MKG, Gordon (expiring), Sessions (expiring), Biyombo, two 2014 draft picks.

Ofcourse pieces needed to be added to make the deal work. But point being, Charlotte should be our target. They're clearly in win now mode with AJeff there now.

I think we could get a better deal for Lowry, DeRozan, and Gay. Plus, the best pick Charlotte has is their own 1-10 protected. If they are in win-now mode that doesn't bode well for that pick being good. Their other picks are late first round.

Who do you guys like better for the 2 long-term, DD or Ross, Does that mean the other is on the block.
Would you guys do Illyasova/Udoh for Derozan/1st(top 15 prot)
It looks like you guys are a stretch 4 away from winning 45.
Maybe the Bucks can make BJ happy again by bringing in his BFF.
Or are you guys just gonna tank for Wiggins?

We (Bucks fans) don't want DD. Dear god. I'd (crazily enough) be down with Rudy for the right price.
