Old Trade Thread (no longer need to post all trades here)

[DaKings]

I say we get rid of Bibby for Cleeves. At least he will feel comfortable with the Kings

 

[AleksandarN]

If the Pistons are waiting around for that kind of offer for Darko career average 2ppg Milciic, they are going to wait right through the end of his rookie contract. They blew their chance at that kind of deal a year or two ago. Now Darko is entering Skita like territory. Somebody may take a risk with him, but nobody is busting up major chunks of the team to get him. Let alone throwing in unprotected lottery pciks, which would be completely ridiculous.

I really see no reason for Detroit to trade Darko then. Why trade him then if you look at their team right now they are pretty set. They could wait for Darko to see if he develop. Alot of teams inquire I am sure about Darko but Dumars will not trade him for nothing. I am thinking if they trade him it will be on their terms and I would think they would want at least a lottery pick out of it otherwise I see no advantage trading him considering if why want a quality back up for their team they alway use the MLE next year to get one. There is no way we get Dako for our scrubs that is why I propose the trade I did. Maybe swap picks instead of just giving them ours that way we still get a pick albeit a very low one.

Darko = 3rd year of a 4 year deal. Not much time to see if he develops anymore.

Yeah but I do not see any incentives for Detriot to make a deal without it invoilving a lottery pick of some osrt. BTW if we could trade Bonzi for Nene I would be all for it. Kevin could step in for Bonzi at SG. This would trade would be ideal for both teams. The Nuggets get thier SG and we get our big.

 

[KevinMartin'sShotDoctor]

I say we get rid of Bibby for Cleeves. At least he will feel comfortable with the Kings

I totally agree. Cleeves is a winner. I heard Dick Vitale say that all the time when Cleeves was at Michigan State. We need to get rid of these head cases and get good character guys. We could get Jack Haley out here to keep team moral up. Maybe make A.C. Green an assistant coach.

Um, the incentive would be to get something rather than the big nothing they have now. And a nothing with plummeting value too. They might just ride him right into the ground, which does neither he nor the Pistons any good. But its a waste of a resource to stand on some sort of principal as your lottery bust slowly slides into obscurity.

According to several Piston fans that watched the game said Darko was not on the bench. Maybe Darko is taking this into own hand refusing to be on the bench; maybe asking for a trade? Either that or Darko is getting traded in the next day or two. Hmm very interesting

 

[BigSong]

Hey I am just looking at what it would take to get Darko in Sac uniform. I do not see them trading Darko for anything less then a rental of Bonzi's caliber and a pick. They already rejected a Hawks deal that included Harrington. I am just seeing what it would take for Detroit to bite. Also trading Bonzi is not that bad considering the odds of him resigning with us is very slim plus(ATM) trading our pick might not that bad of a deal considering that a talented big like Darko will not be around when we get to pick(early teens maybe as high as 8). Looking at it more closely it is not so bad. Maybe a little pricey but the dividends and risks I think outweigh the price that is to be paid. That said if we could get Nene for Bonzi without the pick we take it and run and do not look back.

the way things are going im not too sure about that. Guys like Splitter and Bargnani seem very similar to Darko, they could be available.

And that's why I thought it plausible that they would take Corliss and protected first. Detroit could justify it that Corliss is apiece that they can just plug in just in case and they got Darko in the first place from a pick that they traded for and that was protected. They would have to be willing to deal him and they would have to get that first to save the face. Of course, I don't suggest for a moment that we protect pick only in case it is No 1 (like it was by whomever traded Darko pick to Detroit) but something sensible: we give them our first non top 10 pick or something alog those lines. I don't have much fate in us drafting anything other then sure thing anyway, and we're not going to get it in the teens.

 

[SLAB]

If you've ever read my trades, a lot of them have involved us getting Jamaal Magloire.

Again, I have another MAgloire trade proposal.

Kings Get...

Jamaal Magloire... 10.2 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 0.6 apg
Charlie Bell... 4.5 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.1 apg

Bucks Get...

Brad Miller... 14.9 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 5.2 apg
Jason Hart... 3.7 ppg, 1.3 rpg, 1.1 apg

Change in Team Outlook... -3.9 ppg, +2.1 rpg, -4.6 apg

We do it, because we can continue to remake our image...We lose the elbow-oriented, defensivly-retarded Brad Miller for a(nother) low-post, defensive-minded type of player. I know that having three (Four if SAR is a starter) low-post presenses on the floor at once can't be good, but all of them, minus Magloire (I belive) can step it out onto the floor for whatever the play calls for...Magloire doesn't necessarly need the ball to make an impact, and he could be our banger/scraper, and fortify our interior defensive needs...Also we lose the Godawful Jason Hart, and bring in a supposedly explosive scorer who can defend...He just can't see the floor behind TJ Ford and Maurice Williams.

The Bucks do it so Brad could potentially take Bogut under his wing...Brad came here, was taken under Valde's wing, and look at him now...He's the top passing big-man in the league...If Bogut gets pass-training from someone like Brad, his NBA game could explode...Also image the passing combination of Brad Miller and Andrew Bogut on the floor at the same time. They could hit the lightning-quick TJ Ford on back-cuts all night long...




What do you think?

 

[Kings113]

I'm definitely liking that, SLAB. Even though Bell isn't much of a playmaker, we have Bibby/Price/Garcia/Martin/Artest too.

Bibby/Bell/Price
Bonzi/Martin
Artest/Garcia/Corliss
SAR or KT/KT or SAR/Corliss
Magloire/Skinner/Sampson

 

[Gary]

I still think we shold get rid of Bibby. I don't think he is the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to running an offense. Maybe a 3 team deal where we give up Brad, and Bibby, and get back a PG that knows how to run an offense. We don't need a superstar, just a guy that knows how to hit an open jumper, and understands how to get the ball to our main men out there. I feel that Luke Ridnour, or Kirk Hinrich straight up for Bibby would be a deal for us. Of course I know a lot of you wont think so

Anyhow, Bibby and Miller for Ridnour, or Hinrich, and Magloire. We get those two, and we give up Miller, Bibby, and KT maybe. We come into next year with..

C-Magloire
PF-SAR
SF-Artest
SG-Martin
PG-Hinrich/Ridnour

 

[SLAB]

I found a relativly big deal that would net us the playmaker we need, as well as an eventuall force at the PF spot, and a huge expiring contract.

Kings Get...

Kirk Hinrich... 14.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 6.5 apg
Tyson Chandler... 5.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 1.0 apg
Tim Thomas... 4.3 ppg, 1.3 rpg, 0.7 apg

Bulls Get...

Mike Bibby... 21.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 5.5 apg
Corliss Williamson... 4.2 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 0.3 apg
Shareef Abdur-Rahim... 14.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.7 apg

Change in Team Outlook... -15.4 ppg, +2.4 rpg, -0.3 apg

We now get a true floor-general/playmaker in Kirk Hinrich...To go with him, we get one of the up and coming/potential filled big men in this league...Our pathetic interior defense now looks a little better, as does our rebounding situation...Now however, our outside shooting is really Godawful...Thats where the HUGE contract of Tim Thomas comes into play...Maybe we can then swing his contract for some shooting, or if nothing pans out, we use his cap-space to sign something this offseason? This trade does not make us better instantly, but in the long-run, I think that this would be a steal...And think how scrappy we would be.

Chicago now gets their "Leader" in Mike Bibby...HE can go there and assume the role he had here...They get two scoring threats, which is something they despratly need. Not only that, they also replace the pieces they lose.. A vetran in Corliss never hurts, either.

PG: Hinrich/Hart/Price
SG: Wells/Martin
SF: Artest/Cisco/T.Thomas
PF: Chandler/K.Thomas
C: Miller/Skinner/Sampson

 

[VF21]

Yeah, if Hinrich is everything you say he is, why exactly is Chicago going to want to give him up for Bibby?

AND any trade that keeps Hart as the backup point guard pretty much reeks of foul-smelling excrement.

 

[Kings113]

I really like that deal, SLAB. Hinrich's damn good and is a future top PG. Hinrich is what he said, VF21, plus he's good defensively.

Don't know if they'd do that though.

 

[VF21]

If he's all that and you're so convinced Bibby isn't, then WHY would Chicago do the deal??????

This isn't NBA fantasy league...

 

[Kings113]

It is a trade thread .

Far as your question, nothing else to say on the subject here since it's in my previous post.

 

[VF21]

It's a trade thread but most people have at least been trying to make their trade proposals realistic and not just video game fodder.

I have nothing else to say on the subject either...

except

 

[SLAB]

Yeah, if Hinrich is everything you say he is, why exactly is Chicago going to want to give him up for Bibby?

AND any trade that keeps Hart as the backup point guard pretty much reeks of foul-smelling excrement.

The Bulls need offense...Simple as that...Hinrich, at this point, is not a reliable offensive threat, as his shooting is EXTREMLY sporadic.

Plus, they have another true PG-floor general type in Chris Duhon...With Duhon, that allows Bibby to play more a shooting-PG role, which is where he excels.

I dont think this is a "Fantasy Trade" as it would benefit both sides...The Kings for the future, and the Bulls for the now.

 

[Bricklayer]

I think more realistically given that the Bulls really want to have that capspace to go chase Nene or Peja or whoever, the straightforward no 3rd team involved CHandler trades look something like this:

Successful ScenarioThere were BYC players involved in this trade, so this trade is subject to the BYC provisions of the CBA. Due to Chicago and Sacramento being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Chicago and Sacramento had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out unless trade exceptions were used for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

 

[Mad D]

^ I like it

anyway someone can make one that includes Duhon?

 

[Bricklayer]

I hate to give up Cisco, but Chandler's Base Year Compensation status makes it hard to do otherwise without a third team, and you have to give something to get something. Chicago has a use for a tall OG type who Skiles will appreciate for his attitude, would need Skinner to replace Chandler (assuming they do not get Antonio Davis back here in a few days) and of course need a top post scorer.

And even then its still a longshot. But at least you can hope to tempt them in case they are afraid of Tyson's contract and feel confident in their ability to land Nene or even Big Ben in the offseason.

Edit: oops, simulpost.

BTW, according to RealGm Duhon is trade restricted right now beceause they matched his offer sheet. If he were tradeable though, he might just fit into Piatowkski's salary range in the first deal if the Bulls wanted to retain the extra ending contract space that the Rifle's contract provides. Thing is I doubt Chicago has any desire to move him despite the awkward Duhon/Heinrich situation.

Here's a Darko idea. Detroit supposedly wants bench help and an upgrade at the backup PG position. While a Corliss/Hart for Darko/change trade works straight up, Joe Dumars is probably not dumb enough to consider Hart an improvement over anyone at backup PG.

Why Sacramento makes the deal: Giving up Garcia would be a steep price to pay, but the Kings get promising big man Darko, along with Delfino, who is actually a very similar player to Garcia -- active defensively, good passer, on-again-off-again shooting, and poor decision making.

Why Detroit makes the deal: They give up a bunch of players who aren't playing for an impact defender/distributor in Knight and veteran punch off the bench with Corliss, who can help out at the 3/4 positions. Corliss has actully been very good defensively this season, and with some time he will probably regain his scoring punch.

Why Charlotte makes the deal: Charlotte gives up their veteran point guard for promising spare parts. Hart played very well in Charlotte last year (go figure), Garcia is a promising 2/3, Hunter is an expiring deal and Dale Davis is a veteran leader with a contract expiring next season.

Not sure anyone is really eager to make Detroit even better, but neither Sacramento or Charlotte are contending next season, better to shoot for 2008.

No way Detriot trades both of thier backup centers in Darko and Davis without getting a center in return.

 

[Kings113]

"As the Detroit Pistons rush to dispense with the regular season and return to the finals for the third consecutive season, one of their players, Darko Milicic, has been virtually invisible. Milicic, the No. 2 pick in the 2003 draft, was chosen ahead of players like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. He entered the weekend averaging 1.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.8 minutes and has not been able to break into the Pistons' well-oiled rotation."

"Detroit holds the option for his fourth season, and Joe Dumars, the team president, has become more active in trade discussions. But it is hard to ascertain Milicic's value because he rarely plays. With the team 39-6 entering last night's game at Indiana, the Pistons are in no hurry to make a deal. They made their blockbuster deadline trade for Rasheed Wallace two years ago; other than gaining depth, they need little but salary relief or draft picks."

[Entity]

darko sucks and is in no way promising. Some ppl say he doesn't play because of the ppl he comes in behind. But if he was indeed as good as some ppl say he would in fact be playing. So that said he isn't near enough talent to get while getting rid of Garcia. Garcia has a great chance for a great career in the NBA and we should stick with that. Darko is not good just because he was 2nd pick or because he did good overseas. alot of ppl do good overseas and are nothing in the NBA. Songalia was great in lithuania and that is about as good as Darko will get.

 

[Kings113]

The guy has never been in the regular rotation yet (for his NBA career), and has been playing in garbage time usually for his whole career. I don't think any conclusions or projections can be made yet because of that.

While it was just pre-season, did you see any of his pre-season? It was good and impressive.

I'd definitely trade for him.

 

[allrightythen]

I know its kinda random but should the Kings trade Bonzi Wells? I don't how easy/difficult it will be to resign him in the offseason and Martin does seem to be coming into his own and giving us something on a fairly cosistent basis. I really like what Bonzi has done for the team this year, I like his heart, his rebounding, his game in general. I would rather not see him walk for nothing if we could avoid it though. Should we trade him?

I'd hate to see it, but I am sure Petrie will think about all the possibilities. But of all the players we have seen walk for nothing I would HATE for that to happen with a guy like Bonzi. That is letting way too much walk out the door for nothing. If there is a deal that makes us a better team then I guess it should be considered.

I am pretty sure a lot of teams will be calling about him around the trade deadline. I don't see Petrie actively trying to deal him however.
