General Trades Discussion

Wonder what the Celtics will do now.

They still have a lot of bad contracts on their hand that'd make rebuilding hard but at the same time I'm not sure there's a quick fix out there that can save their season.

I think Garnett for Bledsoe+Jordan+pick could be a good way to starting the rebuilding but I'm not sure Garnett would be ok with that.

There's teams interested in Blair but Spurs are smart to wait it out to the very last minute of the trading deadline. That time is when the Spurs will have the most leverage in a possible trade for Blair (even if what their offered is insignificant to a degree; that moment is when teams get desperate for a player they covet).

So expect Blair to be here til the day of the deadline.

True. Didn't the Jackson deal happen on deadline day?

Well Sullinger did have back issues back in the draft and that's why he fell. Getting a good talent late because of injuries has its pros and cons. Still a good prospect though.

Sort of like DeJuan Blair falling in the draft.

The Warriors would love to get their hands on Denver's Timofey Mozgov, or even San Antonio's DeJuan Blair. But acquiring worthy help would require the Warriors to part with someone they like.

A late first round pick would be nice, thank you very much.

People in this board think DeJuan Blair has low trade value because that is the general opinion that pervades SpursTalk, but they fail to realize that he is held in high regard around the rest of the NBA. For instance, he was selected to be part of Team USA's Select Team last summer, along with several other rising young stars.

They don't have a first to give. I think someone could beat a 2015 (at the earliest) first-rounder.

I want JJ Barea, offer Blair/Bonner + Neal

[cdcast]

how bout Blair, Bonner, Neal, and Green for Barea and Williams

In the playoffs:
starters: TP, Kawhi, Williams, Tim, Splitter
bench: Barea, Manu, SJax, and Diaw

With Kawhi and Williams at SG and SF, ballhandling would be the concern but that bench would be awesome.
Or Manu starts and Williams to the bench. Either way, a good bench for the playoffs.

[Paranoid Pop]

Trying to come up with some trade involving Tiago that could make sense.

Tiago + Green + Bonner for Kirilenko+pick could be nice tbh.

I like the idea as well.

From the wolves blog, in the post game comments :

It would seem to me that AK and JJ should join the ranks of Roy’s contract as intriguing trade pieces that the Wolves can offer. Luke as well, I suppose, but RA is so enamored with him I can’t see how he would come to be dealt.
If I’m the Wolves I’m looking for a young big and deadeye shooters in return.

Rumor Press ‏@NBARumorPress
Noah's plantar fasciitis and Boozer's hamstring could make the Bulls more urgent to land another big.

Rumor Press ‏@NBARumorPress
Most of Bulls recent trade discussions continue to focus on cheap, backup big men.

Blair anyone?

Jimmy Butler would make some sense here. Also, the Bulls may not want to keep their first-rounder this year, as they're pretty much in cap for a while.

[Paranoid Pop]

Would they really give him up for Blair of all people...

No way CHI would give up Butler for Blair. He has been playing well lately.

A 1st round pick I could see though.

Yeah they might want to move Belinelli who has a production very close to Neal looking at the numbers, it's pretty weird, was thinking he was doing much better.

Wonder if they'd send Teague who seems like a nice prospect at PG, yeah we got several of those already but none seems to show much, CJ should be sent to Toronto for his sake.

[tp2021]

Any chance that Jack gets traded and pulls a Brent Barry? Is that still even allowed under the new CBA?

I had one proposed trade for a Bulls SF in #2073, but here's a different one!
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bf6ghmk

-The Bulls get rid of the biggest tradeable contract they have (Rose/Noah aren't going anywhere and no one wants Boozer)
-In exchange for 2 expiring contracts
-They already have a young backup SF in Butler, who is producing and is on a cheap 3 year deal
-They get a young backup big
-Maybe they could/would buy out Jack's contract to save more money?

Most likely a fantasy. I doubt Chicago trades Deng.

[Paranoid Pop]

Yeah seems unlikely they pretty much salary dump an all star.

That said Deng is likely to be traded if they like Butler as much as they seem to like him, they may get a nice player back for him.

[timtonymanu]

Nope. He has to play out the season with whatever team he plays for. If he gets waived, he can't return to the Spurs until the offseason, I think.

[look_at_g_shred]

I like the idea as well.

I really don't see the Spurs moving Green this season. Even with TD and Baynes going down.

[Paranoid Pop]

Any Bledsoe trade idea with the rumors heating up?

Tiago + Bonner + Mills for Odom + Bledsoe?

Brooklyn has placed forward Andray Blatche on the market, according to multiple sources. The Nets are looking for a draft pick in return. Portland, looking for ways to shore up its bench, might have an interest

Damn. Hopefully, the Nets are asking for an unreasonable price, or else the Blair market is going to shrink.
