Post-Draft Trade Ideas Before The Lockout

[ocellatus921]

I know the lock put already started but I didn't see another trade thread and didn't want to start one. What do you think of this Diop & Najera for Rip?

[Diop]

Doesn't really fit our rebuilding. At the moment we are right to tank next year and develop our youth.

Rip would take time away from Hendo and is more of a win now player.

Would do Diop + Mags for Rip and a draft pick. Play Rip at SF. His salary expires the same year as Mags. Probably find a team mid-season willing to take him for peanuts (ex: Dallas).

As a Pistons fan I hear you about rebuilding and playing the youth, I was just wondering. As far as Diop, Maggs plus a draft pick? WOW, no thanks. I'd do a Rip for Mags & Najera, No rebuilding team would or should trade pick to dump players.

Or trade for over price veterens especially without receiving a pick. Rip is not necessary for our rebuilding.

1. No incentive to do Detroit a solid and take Hamilton.
2. Najera's contract is off the books in 2012.
3. Hamilton takes time away from developing prospects.
4. At this point in their careers, Maggette > Hamilton.

The Clippers dumped a draft pick to get rid of Baron Davis last year. Those trades happen. Like I said, there's no incentive for us to help Detroit and we're not going to do another Nazr-esque trade.
