trade opinion

[Liqourish]

I know there is no knowledge of the Wolves shopping Jefferson, but if he were available, what would the Pistons have to offer to get him?

Would Tayshaun Prince, Rodney Stuckey and Kwame Brown for Jefferson+Sessions work for you guys?

Kwame expires this season. Tayshaun expires next season. Rodney is still on his rookie deal. He's 6'5" and built like a tank. He can play either G spot and would play well next to a guy like Flynn.

Pistons wouldn't be asking for any of your expirings.

I'm I way off or could this be feasible?

the problem is those are guys that will improve our depth and maybe even improve us for the year, but if we're patient a few months we have cap space and pile of 1st round picks so the only trades we should consider are consolidation trades, then fill in the depth w/ that cap space and 1st rounders.

Personally I don't care for the deal. I think we could draft someone who can fill Stuckey's production, not to mention that the Wolves will have plenty of capspace in 2010 to target a 2nd tier player in FA or through a trade. Prince has played what, 6 games this year? and he is 30. If the Wolves were one player away from competing, Prince would be a good fit, but we aren't. Getting rid of Al would makes us even further from that.

I can understand this.

No interest in Prince or Stuckey on this team.

[slinky]

I have interest in Stuckey on this team, but not as the main piece for Jefferson.

[Foye]

No interest on anyone coming to MN in this deal.

[jade_hippo]

all solid players, even Kwame, but for what the wolves are doing and what we need right now(young wing scorer and low post defender,) the best part of that whole proposal was when you said G spot. No interest in any of those players at this time for the package you want.

He can play either G spot

I know an Al trade with Detroit got mentioned on one of the other posts, but I don't see it really being anything favorable to MN. If Detroit threw their #1 in, maybe but we lose a franchise caliber player and get two nice pieces, but not what I'd be looking for. Even with Detroit's pick and ours let's say we conservatively got Henry and Turner, those guys would be the future but Stuckey and Prince would need to get time too and then we get a glut on the wing with Henry, Turner, Stuckey, Prince, Brewer, and Ellington, while we weaken ourselves significantly upfront. The veteran presence would be helpful, but I think there'd be cheaper routes for that.

I'm not for the trade but our wings wouldn't be that crowded.

Stuckey would be getting the backup PG minutes as well (Sessions is gone), also we'd likely draft a big then, maybe something like Turner and Aldrich instead of Turner and Henry; so we'd have Turner, Prince, Brewer, Ellington, some minutes for Stuckey, and maybe Gomes
