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.

Because Scal brings all the intangibles

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