HOU gets Rajon Rondo Kevin Garnett BOS gets Kyle Lowry Luis Scola Jordan Hill Marcus Morris 1st Round Pick (2012) I'm not sure how the salaries work out, but do you all think Boston would take a hard look at this?
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7jb9839 Houston trade: H.Thabeet, Dragic, and Cbudinger Toronto trade: Kleiza, DeRozan How do you like this one?
He doesn't suck and he plays big because he has great athleticism. And he's only 26. He blocks more shots than many centers.
They would have to get Kaman if they get Smith because a Smith/Daly combo wouldn't be that good offensively
Trade Martin for Pekovic like I keep suggesting I still don't know if Minny would go for it, but I'd love a Smith/Pekovic frontline with a Lowry/Lee back court knocking down open J's.
Much as I'd love to keep Martin (and Lee's going to want to get paid), I'd love to get Pekovic. Pekovic/Dalembert would be sweet! I'd do it. I'm still figuring out Smith's game, but I'm glad he's getting some time to show us what he can do at this level. Minnie may not want to, though, although i can imagine Adelman jonesin' for Kevin.
Good point about the offensive competence of Smith and Dally. They would be horrible offensively. I'm wondering if Dally and Scola would net us Smith and then we play Smith and Smith together if we can't acquire Kaman, Lopez, or another big.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7w2faxx Luis Scola for Kosta Koufos and Chris Anderson. This answers our shortage of bigs and gives up Scola for big men who can actually block shots and play defense.
They have too many bigs. They're looking to move birdman. Koufos is expiring. They don't have a go-to post option. They're bigs can't spread the floor.
If we could somehow get Wallace at the 3 and Pau at the 4 without giving up K-mart or Lowry I think were golden.
Three Way Team-Trade. Houston sends out: Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Jordan Hill Houston Gets: Chris Kaman,Eric Gordon, Kris Humphries New Jersey Sends Out: Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries New Jersey Gets: Luis Scola,Jordan Hill New Orleans sends out: Chris Kaman,Eric Gordon New Orleans Get: Kevin Martin, Brook Lopez Salaries work on trade machine and probably throw a pick to either Jersey or NO for some sweetness Future Lineup: Lowry/Dragic/Flynn Gordon/Lee/Morris Parsons/Budinger/Williams Patterson/Humphries Dalembert/Kaman/Thabeet/Smith Kaman,Gordon,Humphries all have one year left on contracts, if we like em give em new contracts.Personally makes me feel like we are a better team. NO gets two good players in Kevin Martin, and Lopez, and prob throw our pick in or an 09er. probably only issue is Jersey not doing it just for Scola and Jordan Hill, so giving them the NY pick or an 09er that they feel may help them might help them want to do the trade sense I feel D-Will wont be there next year. Thoughts? Also this is my first post so what up? and also wanted to do this trade since I feel we will match up with the Clippers in the playoffs so theres a good drama in the playoffs between a Houston/Clippers series. Which would be fun to watch to see if Gordon and Kaman would go off on them.
I have a feeling that if Phoenix entertained a trade like this, they'd demand someone take one of their less favorable contracts such as Channing Frye or Josh Childress.
If they blow it up to that extent I think it would a) take a huge haul b) would signify they wouldn't want Martin. I think they'd be looking for younger, longer-term assets. + Knicks first rounder + LA first rounder (we might have to add Budinger to the LA side of the deal) + the rights to Sergio Llull to be their PG of the future. I don't know if the Phoenix front office has the wisdom to blow things up to that extent. They should, but will they? I doubt it. Now, from our perspective, that's a lot of young assets to give up for Gasol + Gortat, but on the flip side, a starting lineup like this: Lowry/Dragic Martin/Lee Parsons/? Gasol/Motiejunas Gortat/Motiejunas That's pretty sick.
I originally had Bud going to the Lakers as well, but it worked without him so I got greedy lol. I think Phoenix would have to get a PG back so I included Dragic. There would definitely have to be picks going as well. It would be crazy if a trade like that happened and we still had some expirings/young talent to get Kaman as well.
