Identifying New Trade Partners

[younggunsmn]

Looks like we have $35,298,812 committed for next season, plus whatever Love, Beas and Randolph get, more if we keep Webster/Miller.
The Cap may be around 61 million...

Cap is frozen at 58 million the first 2 years of the new CBA and will likely go down the 3rd year unless the league experiences some insane growth.

If Budinger continues to experience decreased PT I could see him becoming a real target because Adelman loved him in Houston.

Adelman hates Williams though. Not sure about Budinger and Lee, although both are kind of meh role players. Lee would be a solid backup SG but don't we have enough of those as is?

Who on our team would start in front of Houston Lee? JJB would be great to start if you start Rube, and if I could I'd start Minnesota Lee, but the team right now with our SG options of Wes, Luke, Ellington, how can you explain Houston Lee not being a starter here, decent shooter, can hit the 3 & FTs and plays defense.

[Esohny]

Courtney Lee would deserve to start at SG if he were on the team.

Ahh, I spaced that out, went with the old numbers in the spreadsheet...

[Krapinsky]

The Bucks are now 4-9.

Darko + Randolph + Williams for Bogut??

Utah's Protected 1st Rnd Pick via Min.

not sure Min wants Bogut that bad

Rubio/Ridnour/Williams/Love/Bogut
Barea/Ellington/Beasley/Milicic

Might do some damage in the playoffs.

We would be young and in tank mode
Jennings/Livingston/Udrih
DeRozan/Jackson/Moute/Hobson
Delfino/Webster/Harris/Moute
Davis/Randolph/Illyasova/Moute
Leuer/Sanders/Gooden

work to dump gooden/udrih/jackson

Why in the world would Toronto do that?

It was a proposed trade on their forum Johnson/Utahs 1st for DD and Davis, they are in tank mode and like 1st rounders, and are low on DD now, and Davis Avg 6 pts game.

I would gladly add plenty to TOR in this swap, if it retained Derrick Williams

The Wolves and Bucks jump up and down saying yes to this one. The Wolves would have to include either Darko or Pek in this deal to avoid the 5 center team. I'm guessing Pek would have more appeal due to age and the hope of potential improvement. Perhaps the Wolves use Miller as a contract benefit and take on a smaller bad contract in return.

The Raptors most definitely can do better than Wes Johnson and a protected 1st for Derozan.
