Who is the best center we can trade for?

Who's the best center we can trade for?

-Without giving up Love, Rubio, Barea, Williams and Beasley

I like Byron Mullens.

Bobcats have Diop and bet on Biyombo for the next years. They have more problems on perimeter than in the paint.

They need perimeter players and players like Wes and Ridnour could be interesting for them.

I know. But not many decent centers in the league and their teams usually dont want to trade them without giving them much in return.

AGAIN

WSH trades: J. Mcgee + 1st round pick

MIN trades: M. Beasley + D. Milicic

Why WSH: Much losses, team without direction, need a pure scorer next to J.Wall.

Why MIN: This team need urgently a C, more intimidation, more rebound. Mcgee run the floor, he is a perfect fit together Love and Rubio.

There is no chance that WAS takes that deal.

does Washington really need Beasley's bad shot selection with Young, Blatche, Crawford already there?

Waiting a year would have been worth.

Przybilla is still a free agent so maybe he could go to his hometown?

No, which is why the deal would never happen.

Yep. Trading down for him was the move.

This is a likely answer if even Beasley is off the table.

In Washington are idiots? I don't think that they give us McGee for Beasley. You can get easily players like Beasley with other trades, but it's very hard for them get a valuable center like McGee.

I'd rather have Jonas than Williams. Call me crazy for it but he's going to be great. Rubo-Love-Jonas would've been quite the core.

1. Darko/WesJohnson/Ellington to Sac for Jason Thompson/Donte Greene/Francisco Garcia

a shake up trade w/ lots of ice cold shooters changing places. Jason Thompson would be a sweet acquisition though, he'd give us a huge offensive boost inside and we need it, all we do is let it fly from 3, we need more power in the paint

2. Darko/Tolliver for Robin Lopez/Hakim Warrick

I think if he gets his minutes and rhythm, Robin can give us a little more hustle and activity inside, we need more grit as well imo, we have too many ball watchers

No thanks to Warrick. I'm down for getting Lopez considering we are desperate for any upgraded center but Warrick is on a bigger contract. I'd try to get Lopez alone.

Okafor comes to mind. Darko, Pekovic, Webster, Wes Johnson and Memphis's pick for Okafor and Ariza?

I am thinking Washington might do Blatche for Beasley. Beasley over Lewis and frees up minutes for Vesely and Booker. I imagine Washington is eager to get rid of Blatche. With that said, I wouldn't want him. He seems like a bigger pain in the ass than Beasley (I don't think Beas poses a problem for us with a poor attitude or not getting along with teammates or anything like Blatche).

Maybe Memphis would take a gamble on some frountcourt help and Blatche can be taken under Z-Bo's wing (I know, scary thought, right?). Blatche to Memphis, Beasley to Washington, Mayo to Minnesota. 3 guys who need a change of scenary.

Blatche could be had for cheaper than Beasley, who I'd rather just hold onto at least through the end of this season.

Won't cost Beasley to trade for Blatche. They want him gone in Washington.

I don't want Blatche either. What I am saying is essentially Beasley for Mayo? I don't think there are many (if any) suitors for Beas at the moment either.

Omer Asik would be a real nice fit here. Great defensive center in all facets and good rebounder. Won't give you much on offense but he knows his limitations there. I suppose he's also a pretty valuable commodity in Chicago and would cost a pretty penny to acquire.
