7 Trades that Should Happen

The Golden State Warriors should trade Mickael Pietrus and Austin Croshere to the Toronto Raptors for Juan Dixon and Joey Graham. This possible trade was first posed by my former associates at FanHouse.

It's pretty hard to argue with this logic, though. Both Pietrus and Dixon are unhappy and as good as gone come the offseason. The Raptors could use the player we've always suspected Pietrus might be -- an athletic defender with a slasher's mentality on offense.

Dixon, well, he can sort of play point guard and can jack up 3-pointers, which makes him what Troy Hudson was supposed to be. The best part of all this? Everyone's contract expires this summer, except for Graham, whose is up next year. It's a low-risk, why-the-hell-not deal that just might help both teams.


Thought it would be an interesting read.

Why the hell not?
Roy's the best player I've played against outside this guy from my hood in Queensbridge, guy named Mike Chaplain. He went to jail when he was 15 years old. He was the best player I played against, now it's Brandon Roy.

+1

its a no risk situation. instead of letting Dixon and Graham rot on the bench, we can try some new faces, they might just work.

6. Nobody to Boston

The Boston Celtics badly need point guard help but lack the ammunition to make a run at the Clippers' Sam Cassell. Instead, they'll go the imaginative route and build a magical point guard out of socks and glue.

Can Pietrus play PG better than Darrick Martin?

Actually, I'm sure the team is thinking that now, and that a big motivator for this trade is that with Carlos on the 1 we need another usable swingman.

Croshere would fit in well with Jamario. They could have staring contests and see who would be the first one to shut their mouth while out on the court.

I think I'd take AB in that one.
