Ok news out of the Thunder is that they are looking to trade one of their bigs. So y not offer Scal and baby for Joe Smith. works well thru the trade checker Trade ID #4890489! it gives us length and a vet plus some fincial breaks plus an open spot for a vet 3. what do you all think?

I would do it in a heartbeat, but why would the Thunder?

Exactly.

I expect the celtics would love to trade scal for an expiring that could also be a good vet for our bench. I think Scal and Baby would be the ideal players for them to move. I am betting teams also want one or more of Pruitt/ Giddens / Walker in addition. Plus cash consideration so they can buyout scal. The cs are prob balking and waiting it out. IMO, If we make a deal like that it wil be near the deadline after they have exhausted all offers. Worst case we could prob get a second for baby strait up and sign a ring chaser. Then keep scals contract as trade fodder in the offseason.

I agree...this is like trying to trade 2 turds for 1 gold ingot...

Because Scal brings all the intangibles

This should be merged with the other Joe Smith thread. There was no need to start another thread.
