General Trades Discussion

[Vic Petro]

Trades can happen right now but CBA expires June 30 so owners/players must have a new deal before free agency can begin.

[Russo21]

Thanks Vic Petro. Peace

Russo, the only way the Spurs get rid of Jefferson is if they take another bad contract, and get the same value back(unless an owner is stupid enough to think a bad player can help).

Brand>>Bonner,Mcdyess
Iggy>>Jefferson(very similiar offensive players but Iggy is actually a great defender)
Parker>Jrue but Jrue is younger, and 6ers love Jrue also, and them acquiring Parker would make them a win now team which there 3 or 4 years from being.

If we threw in Splitter except Bonner that could interest them a little bit more, but in the past the 76ers only wanted to trade Iggy if it meant the team taking Brand. I think Kaman is more of an need for the 76ers, then a point guard, and Brand is starting to fit in a little bitter. If RJ was an expiring contract, of course the sixers would be all over this trade even if meant giving Iggy for a worse player.

3 team trade

Portland San Antonio and Utah

Portland get........... Utah Get..................San Antonio get
Tony Parker .............Richard Jefferson........Marcus Camby
Antonio McDyess ......Dejuan Blair...............Gerald Wallace
..............................Rudy Fernandez...........Devin Harris

That leaves San Antonio with

C Marcus Camby
PF Tim Duncan
SF Gerald Wallace
SG Manu Ginobili
PG Devin Harris

Not too bad. Portland get an all star PG and cap relief. Utah get a starting SF to replace AK47 if he leaves and a decent backup PF and SG. Spurs get bigger and better, more defensive and an adequate starting PG.

this is what i dont get with the blazers owner, wanting to shred salary....dude ur a fkn billionaire with net assets of what ? 20b? just interest payments alone from that is enough to buy a few NBA teams...

[Russo21]

Yeah the co-founded microsoft and is totally loaded. He also owns an NFL and MLS team. Crazy how rich some people are.

He has a yacht which is equipped with two helicopters, two submarines, a swimming pool, a music studio and a basketball court. All that in a freakin yacht! The list goes on and on. Rich bas .

Our very own Peter Holt on the other hand is worth about 80 million. Peanuts compared to what the Cuban's and Allen's of the NBA make. It's amazing how the Spurs have been so good for so long!

[Buddy Holly]

Elton Brand + Andre Iguodala + Jrue Holiday
for
Tony Parker + Richard Jefferson + Matt Boner + Antonio McDyess

Duncan
Brand 15pts 8reb 1.3 block 1.1 steals 51%
Iguodala 14 + pts 6reb 6 ast 1.5 steals 34% 3PFG
Ginobili
Holiday 14pts 4 reb 7 ast 38% 3PFG 1.5 steals

Duncan and Brand would make an all round fantastic tag team at C and PF with size and muscle, offense and defense, inside and outside game. One of the best interior combos in the game.

Ginobili and Iguodala would create havoc together offensively and defensively at SF and SG. Also one of the best wing combos in the game.

Holiday is young and steady coming into his 3rd year. Would have experienced options all around him to pass to or for defences to leave him open. Can shoot the three at a pretty good clip and be a pain in the ass on defense.

Our defense would be light years better then it was last year. Youth and experience. Offense and Defense. Outside and inside game. No holes or weaknesses anywhere that i can see.

Would be nice to see

NOTE: Yahoo reports that the 76ers want to deal Iguodala this week and the Clippers are the frontrunners with a Chris Kamaan swap.

You can wipe the Pau Gasol-to-Minnesota rumor from your memory banks. "Not happening," says a source. #NBA #draft

Cleveland's trying to get a 3rd first round pick -- in the 20's -- dangling its two second rounders (32 and 54) and maybe cash, sources say.

[ernest787]

^^^

This kinda interest me. You could probably get Parsons at 32 and then use the other 2 late second rounders to take some projects or flyers on some guys

Its not like we are getting a game changer at 29 anyone and then we don't have to guarante money to someone who probably isn't going to get PT anyway

[TheProfessor]

Saw something on rotoworld that the Bucks might have interest in Brandon Rush and that his time in Indiana may soon be through. Could be worth it to pick up the phone and see what the Pacers would want in exchange. Shoots the three well and has defensive potential.

The Atlanta Hawks are gauging interest around the league in Josh Smith, sources confirm. They did the same at the trade deadline last year.

Dwight Howard wants Josh Smith in Orlando, but we'll see if the Magic have the pieces to get a deal done.

Josh Smith has always wanted to reunite with Howard. He told me as much last year (bottom of page): http://tinyurl.com/ybmofrd

First, Can Toronto absorb Tonys contract from the Bosh Trade exception? Second, If they could wouldn't that make sense to get like maybe Amir Johnson or Ed Davis, and the # 5 Pick, for Tony make sense? Maybe draft a SF or PG with the #5. With that available cap space could we make like a run at Greg Oden, Nene, or Chandler? If possible I would do that in a heartbeat.

Lakers have no interest in trading Pau Gasol or Andrew Bynum, source said.

SpearsNBAYahoo Marc J. Spears
Clipps still looking for starting SF. Would trade anyone other than Blake or Gordon unless AllStar offered. Expiring deals, picks,trade bait

[Russo21]

As ace3g just reported. If the Clippers are looking for a starting SF how about

RJ and Bonehead for Chris Kamaan?

They get the starting SF they want and we get the starting C we so desperately need

[Russo21]

Total bull . Why would the spurs trade tony for a freakin draft pick? That's pretty much slapping the great tim duncan in the face and saying we cant win. A freakin draft pick? They can friggen well do better then that. We have 1 more year left to possibly win. What the is trading tony for a draft pick gonna do for the last year or so of the tim duncan era.

They wouldn't trade Parker for just a draft pick.

It would have to be a package of a good young prospect(s) and a draft pick(s).

[Russo21]

I've noticed Washington don't have a single SF on their roster. I wander if the silly pricks would do a RJ for Andray Blatche swap.

For us: He's young and huge at 6'11 260lbs and averaged 17pts 8reb 1.5stl and 1block. An instant starting big next to timmeh to bring back the twin towers.

For Washington: They get the SF they need and although RJ has been house the last two years maybe the fantastic young PG John Wall could get him involved the way JKidd did back in the jersey days and help RJ turn back the clock.

Or Parker + getting rid of RJ's contract.

'Sota sends number two to Suns.

Why would Minny give up the number 2 for TP when they have Rubio and Flynn?

Heard from more than one team that Ersan Ilyasova is available in exchange for a 1st rounder (even late) or a 2012 1st.

I've read on Bucks forums that Spanish media outlets are reporting that Ilyasova wants to buyout his contract to return to Europe.

Philly, Lakers talk Iguodala for Odom, and Minnesota in play for Iguodala too. At SI.com - http://bit.ly/l4dy8E
