The Trade Thread

[sc8581]

LAC has Collison, end of discussion.

You mean the Collison avg 10 pts and 2.8 assists per game? lol

I doubt any contender would turn down the chance to add Jennings for their garbage because of Darren Collison.

A guard stable of Paul/Jennings/Crawford/Redick/Collison is better than Paul/Crawford/Redick/Collison. End of discussion.

As a backup playing 21 mpg, he's been looking pretty damn good as a starter since Paul went down, efficient too.

[ComboGuardCity]

The problem is Dudley isn't garbage. If he was, you would include a team who has more value to give up.

[Q00]

You're clueless if you think the Clippers wouldn't be interested in giving up their garbage for a PG avg 16 pts and 8 assits per game on a reasonable contract. To me that would be the easiest part of the deal to complete. Getting Boston to take Monroe and a late #1 pick for Rondo is the hard part.

ain't no f***ing serious team which want jennings in his rotation... you're the only one who thinks jennings is that good, the same who thinks chris paul isn't special playing d

I don't think you understand the mindset of a contender trying to get over the hump with limited trade assets. This is a team so desparate to add talent that they just signed Hedo Turkoglu - a convicted PED user who hasn't played in 2 years - and have explored adding Lamar Odom - a known crack addict. And you are telling me they wouldn't want the 5th best player in the league in assists? gtfoh

Collison>Jennings

[DBC10]

Collison has been serviceable as a backup for them. They're not desperate for guards right now and they've been playing decently despite the injuries. Come playoff time, none of this discussions will matter since they'll likely be ready.

They need less ball dominant guards not more in Jennings. End of story.

So he's the 5th best passer in the league?? That statement is so confusing, nauseating really.

I didn't say he was garbage, I said he was their garbage. Theres a difference, as in he's just a marginal role player for them, and any team trading one of their least prouctive players for one of another teams most productive is a win.

If you are trying to say Jared Dudley and his 9 pts , 2 rebs, and 2 asts is worth more than Jennings, I don't know what to tell you. That's just ridiculous. Dudley is a one dimensional niche 3 pt shooting role player, thats it. Jennings is top 5 in asts and having one of the best seasons of any PG in the East, production wise. This isn't even a debate. Jennings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dudley

Your reading comprehension is confusing and nauseating. What is so hard to understand about Jennings being the 5th best player in the league in assists?

Do you need a picture to figure it out? lol Its so easy a caveman can do it...

[paQo the BAWSER]

he's so good passing the ball, i agree. But he's an inefficient scorer, a ball hogging who don't play well at their teams, because he needs the ball aaaaaaaaaaall time in his hands and there's no ball movement with him, a hole in defense... you don't want that type of player in your team, never.

[ComboGuardCity]

So by that logic the rockets should trade Jones for Deandre Jordan because Jordan is the superior talent. You have to take fit into account. That's why we're in this current mess.

[Joe Berry]

IF we do a Monroe trade to Boston i really hope Green is included.

Monroe/Jennings/Charlie/Jerebko for Rondo, Green, Bass works. I could life with that.

Drummond/Jorts
Smith/Bass
Green/Singler
KCP/Stuckey
Rondo/Bynum

But anyway i don't trust a GM who could be out of a job in 4 months to do the right thing, Joe D is a desperate man, he could do a lot more harm than good - all for a playoff push this year.

[DETermination]

I know that melo really wants to play with rondo so is there any way we could trade for rondo and then sign melo in the offseason? A man can dream right lol but dang we could become

Rondo
KCP
Melo
Monroe/Smith ( which ever one doesn't get traded.)
Drummond

that trade is so bad for the celtics, i think they would say no

i'd like to see thaddeus young playing with drummond, with a defensive team who can actually RUN THE COURT and finish at the rim...
wilson chandler would be a fantastic player here.

if we go to melo (dreams, i know) i think he plays his best at PF, and a frontcourt drummond-melo is **** awesome

Dude come on, you're smarter than this. The difference between Collison and Jennings is Jennings cost nearly $6M more than Collison. When Paul is back, Paul run the shows, so you don't need a point guard behind him that puts up 8 assist a night because Paul has the ball in his hands. What you need is a more efficient scorer, which Collison is.

The deal makes no sense for LAC. Teams don't make moves just to make moves, especially contenders. They picked up Hedo Turkoglu, on a veteran minimal contract....that has nothing to do with making an unnecessary, desperate, financial hurting move like acquiring Jennings.

If this is in reference to Vince Ellis' ambiguous and generally useless column, it means nothing. He also said Barnes is available- in his opinion, which means nothing.

FWIW, The C's board has rejected trades involving Monroe, Jennings, (filler) for Rondo & Green... we might be overvaluing our guys.

Well were not going to get Rondo and Green for that. Monroe is well worth a trade for Rondo for the Celtics but they are looking for first rounders. I'm not even sure if we can get Ainge to take on Jennings or not either.

I really hope this is true. Here is my semi-pipedream scenario. We trade Monroe/Jennings/2 first rounders for Rondo. I think that is a fair deal for a player with past locker room issues who is just coming off an ACL injury. That gives us a superstar PG, a rising superstar center, and a jack-of-all-trades guy in Smith to go along with a promising rookie with already elite defense in KCP and hopefully a resigned supersub in Stuckey. If we land Rondo I think that might be enough to entice Melo to come to Detroit if we finish the season strong and perhaps make it to the second round. We would sign Melo in the offseason and resign Stuckey and Singler to go over the cap if need be and fill the roster out with veteran players. Next season looks like:

Rondo/Billups
Caldwell-Pope/Stuckey
Anthony/Singler
Smith
Drummond

It sounds crazy right now but If we can land Rondo I think it becomes at least a possibility.
