http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=72sqw2b or this.... just trying a few moves. Lowry/Dragic (resign) Gordon(sign as FA)/Beal or Lamb (NY pick) Thompson/Morris Williams/Dmo/Scola(move during offseason) Dally/Leonard(draft with our pick) Gordon might fetch slightly over what Kmart is making, with the 09 expiring and trading scola you would have money for a supermax guy .
Three way trade: Rockets: Marshon Brooks and Hedo Turkoglu Nets: Dwight Howard Magic: Kevin Martin, Brook Lopez, Memo Okur, Nets 2012 draft pick. What do you think? We get a rookie who can score almost as well as Martin. Brooks has looked very nice. We would have to absorb Hedo's contract, I think it's worth it in the long run. Build around Lowry, Brooks, Patterson, NYK pick and hopefully Morris. Also, this trade couldn't have been a better median for the Nets and Magic. Magic are looking to shed salary as well as take in talent, while the Nets would have to put in a few players to make the numbers work.
Rockets get - Pau, Casspi, Cavs 1st rounder Cavs get - Martin, Morris, Ebanks, Lakers 2nd Rounder Lakers get - Scola, Sessions, Hill, Flynn Just an idea.
Random Trade Idea I see people have suggested that Kevin Martin is good when he is scoring but detrimental if not being that he does nothing else well. Why don't we replace him with another temporary scorer such as Michael Beasley who I'm sure Minnesota would compensate us for taking him off their hands to replace with someone that thrives under Adelman. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=835ypld Ask for a future 1st round pick with conditions Dalembert/Hill/Thabeet Scola/Patterson Beasley/Parsons/Morris C.Lee/Budinger/Williams/Ellington Lowry/Dragic/Flynn/M. Lee Then flip Scola, Flynn or Thabeet or Williams, the Minnesota pick and maybe some others for Monta Ellis and Jenkins or whatever other small contract(s). Warriors will get expirings, a good power forward in Scola to team up with David Lee, and a backup point guard in Flynn to play behind someone he was drafted ahead of in 2009. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7tgq9yk Dalembert/Thabeet Patterson/Hill Beasley/Parsons/Morris Ellis/C.Lee/Budinger/Williams/Ellington Lowry/Dragic/M. Lee/Jenkins We can make other minor trades here and there to stregthen the front court, bring Donatas over next season, draft best available player(s)(Perry Jones, Meyers Leonard) in 2012 draft, pick up a star in FA(superstar is not coming to Houston via Free Agency) then we should be able to contenders in 2014. Thoughts?
Timberwolves get: Kevin Martin Lakers get: Luis Scola, Michael Beasley & Luke Ridnour Rockets get: Pau Gasol & Matt Barnes Timberwolves get Martin that really fits their system Lakers get a good power forward, a scoring small forward and a needed point Rockets get Pau, who they want and a defensive minded tough small forward/gaurd Any thoiughts?
I don't really know if I want Pau Gasol on the team. He's worth twice what Scola's making, and I'd rather the PT goes to PP and Donuts (next year).
If I was Morey I'd probably do the following trades: *PP, MM and Lee for Paul George. George is easily worth those guys IMHO, esp. with his all around play and superstar potential. Indiana is still seeing Granger as their main man, and giving them *Thabeet and NY Pick for Gortat. Honestly I'm tired of stressing over the NY pick, let some other team worry about it. Gortat is like the big man version of Courtney Lee, really solid big man with very few holes in his game. A front line of Gortat and a locked-in Dalembert is tall, athletic, and is comparable to our "dream lineup" of Gasol and Nene at half the price. When Dalembert starts playing poorly, have him come of the bench and we roll with Gortat and Scola. *Dragic for Dallas pick. The Lakers need a pg to put them over the top and Dragic is one of the best non-starting pgs in the league. Win for both teams. Here's the 2012 lineup: Dalembert/Gortat/Scola Gortat/Scola/Hill George/Parsons Kmart/C-bud Lowry/Twill ^Doesn't have a single superstar but it looks the Denver roster on steroids. I think that lineup's championship contender.
Trade Deadline moves 1. Rox trade- Sammy, Scola, Hill, Ny Pick Get- Smith, Splitter Hawks trade- Smith, 2012 1st (top-20 protected) Get- Dalembert, Hill, Bonner, Ny pick Spurs trade- Splitter, Bonner Get- Scola, Hawks 1st rd pick 2. If we want to get something out of Lee and Dragic Rox trade- Lee, Dragic, T-will Cavs trade- Sessions, Hollins, 2013 2nd rd pick (top-40 protected) Lowry/ Sessions Martin/ Bud Parsons / Morris Smith/ Patterson Splitter/ Hollins
- Trade Kyle Lowry & Kevin Martin to the New Jersey Nets for Deron Williams. - Trade Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Chase Budinger, Marcus Morris, Terrence Williams, Jordan Hill, Hasheem Thabeet, and Jonny Flynn to the Orlando Magic for Dwight Howard & Hedo Turkoglu. - Sign JR Smith, Al Thornton & Ish Smith 1) Deron Williams / Ish Smith 2) Courtney Lee / JR Smith 3) Chandler Parsons / Hedo Turkoglu 4) Patrick Patterson / Al Thornton 5) Dwight Howard / Greg Smith
This trade is just a front for your well known and ever-present agenda to have an all Smith second unit.
Dragic+Scola+Morris for Gasol... Martin+NY Pick+Thabeet+Williams+Flynn+Jordan Hill+3 Million to NO for Jared Jack, Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman. Dalembert/Kaman Gasol/Patterson ( Gasol and Patterson would be on the court together often) Budinger/Parsons Gordon/Lee Lowry/Jack
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7r4uywn Trade that would make sense for all (both teams project to get better) Dally/Hill Gasol/Patterson Parsons/Bud Martin/Lee Lowry/? That has Western Finals potential.
Yeah I doubt the Lakers give away Pau Gasol for essentially Scola and Dragic. Scola's playing like crap right now, and Gasol has been proven to get them 2 rings already. As for us, I'm a bit leery tying up 21M for the next 3 years for Gasol, that dude's old AND he already said he doesn't want to play in Houston.
I dunno man, I'm a really big fan of Paul George and the Pacers are too. He's been playing good d, rebounding at a nice pace and shooting 3s at 45%. I personally think he's the next Tmac, except hopefully with a better attitutde.
Now i know a trade for gasol sounds ****ty but if it leads you to another allstar then its something you haft to think about... L.A- P.Gasol & S.Blake + TPE + 2012 First Round Pick HOU- K.Lowry, L.Scola & H.Thabeet If you have that trade done you have the perfect assets to trade for another allstar. So after that trade you can do a trade for...lets say deron williams N.J- D.Williams & A.Morrow HOU- K.Martin, G.Dragic, P.Patterson & J.Flynn + TPE + Knicks & L.A's 2012 Picks Houston Rockets new team: D.Williams-S.Blake C.Lee-A.Morrow C.Parsons-C.Budinger P.Gasol-J.Hill-C.Parsons...If M.Morris is ready he can easily fill in here S.Dalembert-J.Hill Thats looks like a improved team to me and its definitely do-able, we would easily have the best offer for D.Will only problem would be if D.Howard doesn't get traded to somewhere else besides N.J before the deadline i don't see N.J parting with williams with the chance of D.Will and D.Howard duo...but lets say D.Howard goes to L.A clips or wherever else then were good.
I like this. This would pull the Nets out of the Howard sweepstakes if they are willing - we sould be too. With Donatas Motiejunas I still think brother Robin is a great fit for less money, but Brook is a better all around player. In a dream world it would be nice to have BOTH sets of twins. SO after this trade we should HOU in Lopez, Morris, and PHX '12 2nd round pick out Patterson, Budinger, Dragic, T-Will, and $18,746 ...for... PHX in Patterson, Budinger, Dragic, T-Will, and $18,746 out Lopez, Morris, and PHX '12 2nd round pick 2012 - 2013 Lowry / Farmar Martin / Llull Morris / Parsons Morris / Motiejunas B. Lopez / R. Lopez / Smith +"Keep in the family" +Young, Big, and Skilled. (if we can keep the Lopezs signed) +Can mix and match the front line +We may/will lose the NYK pick(put off till next year) when Stern "does the lotto" and the protection is removed from ours; so the PHX 2nd will be our first pick then Minny's then ours I like it even more Thoughts
