why would they want Ariza when they drafted a guy similar to him in Paul George who could maybe replace Granger and who's one, BIG reason why most of us are speculating about Indy? Ariza should stay if we were to trade for Granger. that's giving up too much for him. both NY picks, AB & ariza for Granger! don't know about that. i'll pass
Trevor Ariza and Paul George are similar physically, but that's where similarities end! According to scouting reports and from what I've personally seen from Paul George's game. The guy is tailor made for the SG position, which means Ariza would replace Granger at SF, while they add Brooks to their biggest position of need, the PG spot... Giving them a nice wing lineup: PG: Brooks SG: George SF: Ariza I'll admit, i did go a little overboard with my proposition by offering both NY picks. But it basically comes down to Brooks/Ariza for Granger, which IMO is a fair deal for both sides. --RB
If Indiana would do Jeffries, Ariza, and Brooks for Granger and T.J. Ford, Morey would have to seriously consider that deal. Or better yet, if Indy would do Jeffries, Ariza, and Lowry for Granger and Ford, Morey would have to really seriously consider that deal. Especially if a deal for Paul is already materializing. Paul Martin Granger Yao Scola Lowry Posey Miller Okafor free agent
I think this would be a perfect trade for all 3 teams. Houston Receives: Danny Granger 10.9 Million Indiana Receives: Jarrett Jack 4.6 Million + Trevor Ariza 6.3 Million/ Cash Considerations ( Maybe to sweeten the deal if Indiana doesn't bite.) Toronto Receives: Jordan Hill 2.6 Million + Chuck Hayes 1.9 Million + 2011/2012 NY Pick It works out perfectly for everybody. We get our All-Star in Danny Granger. Indiana receives a quality starting point guard in Jarrett Jack, and not a bad down grade in Trevor Ariza. While Toronto Gets 2 expirings in Chuck Hayes and Jordan Hill, but Chuck Hayes can help their defense, and a young stud in Jordan Hill. Also they get a draft pick since their now in a rebuilding phase. Plus they've been looking to move they're point guards since Jose Calderon is coming back plus Leandro Barbosa is on they're team now
One word... delusional. You must be, if you think Indiana trades their franchise player for Jarret Jack and Trevor Ariza. It would probably take Aaron Brooks and Kevin Martin to get Granger, which IMO is not worth it. I fail to see why everyone on these boards thinks Granger is attainable.
I see the Rockets going after Steve Nash at the trade deadline if not earlier. Yao and Nash are known buddies often tweeting back at forth. This trade will probably include our young assets/picks. Any combination of: Cbud (Played at Arizona, Replace Jason Richardson, who is expiring) JHill (Played at Arizona) AB (New contract next year, and they have Dragic so not likely) Ariza (Replace Grant Hill, who is expiring) Jeffries or Battier (Both Expiring) Picks I know our PG situation is solidified, but Nash is a top 5 PG in the league, and makes everyone around him better. A big three of Yao, Martin, Nash is legit IMO. Another reason I think something with the Suns is likely is because two of their veterans are expiring (Richardson and Grant Hill), most likely they will not stay after, so the Suns need to look for younger talent to replace them. Thoughts?
Well, lets see Indiana has almost 46 million dollars worth of cap space coming off. T.J. Ford only played for half the season. They actually get something back for their franchise player, and with that much space they could actually make a decent addition this off season, Zach Randolph or Carl Landry. We might give them a draft pick. They drafted a clone of him this year. Its very much possible. My deal was just an outline.
3 team trade that get's Chris Paul to Houston. I don't think Rox can get Paul in a direct trade, only because our best trade asset is kind of redundant for NO. They already have a cheap young PG in Darren Collison. Although, Indiana is desperate for a PG. Houston: Paul Okafor Hornets: Hill Hibbert Ariza Battier Paul George Jeff Foster NYK pick '12 3 million cash from Rox Indiana: Aaron Brooks Jeffries Why it could happen: Indiana needs a PG and taking on Jeffries contract will not hurt their long-term plans as he's an expiring, plus Jeffries played college ball in Indiana. They have a hefty price for AB with Paul George and Hibbert but both are unproven. NO gets young big men prospects with Hill and Hibbert. They get a high risk/reward prospect in Paul George. Also get Knicks pick so that's four prospects in all. Ariza is a good fit to compliment their starters of Collison and Thorton. Rox new starting lineup is a bona fide contender to win now, front line to compete with Fakers and two superstars: Yao Scola Bud Martin Paul Bench: Okafor, Miller, Lowry, Hayes, Taylor, Patterson Its works on ESPN trade machine link so money matches, though since Paul George included it will have to wait like 3 weeks before he's eligible for trade:
Like I said it's a rough outline, give a pick here give a pick there, 2 Million here and there, but I do understand why you'd give a pick to Indiana.
Heres a good one: Indiana receives: Battier Hayes NY 2011 pick Indiana trades: Granger Philadelphia receives: Ariza Andersen Alexander cash Philadelphia trades: Iguodala NO recieves: Jeffries Hill Harris NY 2012 pick NO trades: Okafor Houston receives: Iguodala Granger Okafor Now whats up??
Indiana is going to give up a franchise player for an expiring average Shane Battier and a 3rd line center in Chuck Hayes? My oh my..
I believe, unlike you! That A.Brooks is going to surprise this upcoming season and I wouldn't be all that eager to trade him. The only thing is if he has shown an improvement I would quickly get it in writing that he will resign+ the amount & years. Y
Umm this obviously would never work. You'd have to switch Budinger in there with Battier. And even then, it wouldn't be enough to get the Pacers to trade Granger. Other than Ariza, you pretty much traded crap to the Sixers for Igoudala. And, trading 8 players for 3? That leaves us with 3-5 spots to fill in our roster
Obviously Sacramento would get the clear cut best player present in the deal with Jermaine Taylor :grin: :grin:
Hill + Jeffries + Patterson + Brooks + Battier + NY 2011 and 2012 draft picks + cash considerations for CP3 and Okafor Paul/Lowry Martin/Taylor Ariza/Budinger Scola/Miller Yao/Okafor
I dont mean to be rude, but.. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!?? Both of our pgs for one?(all star one but still) Ish would be our backup, and as if that wouldnt suck enough you put budinger as backup pg? No way, that lineup isnt worth the picks, battier, AB AND lowry.. just ubsurd. Meh.. dont think pacers would want neither would we give up Ariza.. they just drafted Paul George.. and no Okafor? If these were to be the scenarios that have to happen for us to get either cp3 or dg.. as much as id love both i have to pass.. idk, lineups just dont look championship appealing..
