What are Detroit doing? They already had issues finding minutes at the 2/3 spot, now TMac? Surely there is more moves or has Dumars really lost it.

TMac would fit better here backing up Wallace and Jax. Would mean that our youth get a back seat once again though.

Well there are the constant rumors that he wants to trade Tayshaun and Hamilton. If he has a trade planned, it would make sense to bring T-Mac in.

I'll laugh my ass off if we end up trading the DUST chip for Prince and Hamilton. :\

Thats the problem, no one seems to want Rip and Prince.

Indeed. I'm sure Joe could get rid of Prince if it was Prince only but Hamilton's contract isn't pretty.

If Jax wasn't here, if we had plenty of cap space, and if we could dump a contract or two, I wouldn't mind trading for both of them. I bet Prince could transition well to the 4 in our system. I just can't see Hamilton playing under Jordan after their issues in Washington.

I'd do Jax and filler for both of them

I doubt MJ would go into the luxury for those 2, so its not that simple making up the filler. (Can't use the dust chip)

Jax, Diaw and Diop works for Rip and Prince. But that leaves us awfully thin upfront and I'm enjoying what Jax brings to this club.

And taking on those contracts would make little sense for detroit.

Think he finds a home in Charlotte?

Only if we get rid of Diaw!

Pretty sure Ainge is going to do everything in his power to make sure that Sheed never plays again.

+1

he can't pull off a trade for Sheed's contract so basically Boston got nothing in return. Sheed playing again will be a big stab on the back.

if he does return, it'll be on a contender, an elite team and i mean the Lakers or Orlando. and if he thinks the Heat is a super team, he'll probably go there if he reconsiders his retirement.
