The Trade Thread - v2

[DetroitSho]

We're not trading Jennings anytime soon.

Because no team in their right mind would give up anything worthwhile for him and if the Smith situation is any indicator Detroit's front office doesn't have any interest in dumping guys just to get rid of them. I actually think he'd fit reasonably well in Dallas though with Carlisle coaching and Ellis, Parsons, Nowitzki, and Chandler as the starters around him.

We are looking for a solid Starter PG that can shoot well when he is left open and is decent at passing.
We could only offer Wright + Felton + picks, but Jennings is someone I think could fit quite well in Dallas. We could also give up Crowder, Mekel, or James if you could use them.

Just stick with Felton. Jennings is basically a flashier, prettier version of him.

In the case that Detroit cannot offload smith, would you guys consider a package around wiggins for Drummond?

In terms of upside and ceiling they're similar, great on D but very raw on offensive. Drummond has the obvious edge as he already has two seasons of development and production at the NBA level. Plus there's a premium price on big men.

Detroit get the sf they need and can shift smith to the four and re-sign Monroe while Cleveland get some desperately needed rim protection and low post scoring.

Serious answer, add Lebron and you got yourself a deal.

Would Jennings be open for trade or is he someone you guys really enjoy?

Take him, we'll take pretty much whatever spare parts you have in Dallas for him. Well, anyone except Ray Felton.

I would take on Felton to get draft considerations, but it wouldn't be necessary for me. The players I'd like to get back would be Mekel and Wright.

We would also be very willing to move Josh Smith for Wiggins

Drummond has more trade value than Kevin Love -- he's obviously not as good right now (as a total package), but he's cheaper for a couple more years (and still cheaper after that, as Love will be getting a true max and Drummond the second contract max). Drummond, even with his growing pains, is obviously better defensively. They're equal rebounders, although Andre gets way more offensive boards, which is more difficult.

Love majorly outclasses Drummond as a scorer, but that's it, and that gap will close somewhat over the next couple of years.

If Love costs Wiggins, Bennett, and something, Drummond costs more than that. At least, I assume that's the perspective you're going to get from Detroit. If the offer is crazy-good, the Pistons at least have to consider it. Wiggins alone isn't even close.

Take him, we'll take pretty much whatever spare parts you have in Dallas for him. Well, anyone except Ray Felton.

What about Wright + Mekel + Felton + Cash for Felton Buyout + pick for Jennings + either Mitchell or Kyle S.

So you don't go over your roster spots?

Taking Felton is hard to swallow without draft considerations of some sort, and I have no qualms about giving up Mitchell because he is an athletic dummy in my opinion.

Based on what I heard you have to match the players since you have 15 people on your roster. Who would you prefer to be the other player to go back to Dallas so you stay at 15. We could throw in another pick.

That's why we send Cash so you can pay him and waive him. We will send 2 1st picks and a expiring contract to give you more money next year. Mekel is a backup PG for you. So you will get the 3.3 exemption back this year after you waive him.

Gotcha. That seems fair enough. I'll have to get on the phone with SVG

Only if it was that easy.

What about
Monroe, Datome and Mitchell
for
Bledsoe and Miles Plumlee?

[Piston Pete]

Pistons say yes.

Suns say no.



IMO, Monroe ~ Bledsoe --- maybe the Suns need to add a sweetner.

But Plumlee >>> Datome/Mitchell

two ways this trade could go down:

S&T monroe to the bucks for pachulia, ilyasova, and inglis.
-the bucks need some sort of interior presence, and while monroe isn't the ideal compliment to parker in the frontcourt, he, parker, henson, and possibly sanders could be quite the quartet in the key. the bucks get to rid themselves of two slightly burdensome salaries (for their situation) and land a young and capable low post bruiser.
-from our perspective, we get precious floor spacing from the frontcourt in ilyasova, a good backup center who's a knockdown FT shooter and an adept passer in pachulia, and last but not least, a potential home run (or strikeout) SF prospect in inglis who many of us were very high on prior to the draft. i'd love for SVG to get to mold a perimeter talent like that.

the other way this trade could go down is a midseason deal, which is what i would prefer. in that case, we'll have already resigned monroe, and we would get to see if ilyasova can rebound from a down year, if pachulia can stay healthy and produce, and if inglis is for real.
