Aldridge trade scenarios

[MickZagger]

I think Olshey is a guy that isn't afraid to pull the trigger on a big trade.

How about

Aldridge for Favors, Hayward, Burks and #1

Get a solid, future star in Favors and good depth and in Hayward and Burks and future 1st and probably better positioning in this years draft.

 

[B-Roy]

How about no.

 

[MickZagger]

Favors- PER: 18.5
Aldridge- PER: 16.6

Favors- DRtg: 99
Aldridge- DRtg: 109

Favors- Reb/36 : 11.7
Aldridge- Reb/36: 6.9

Favors is 6 years younger.

So after you listed all that, why would Utah do it?

No way the Jazz does this. I think Utah is giving up way too much in this deal.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

I'd do Aldridge for Favors straight up..

Not to mention, the last thing Utah needs right now is another big....

Milsap
Jefferson
Favors

Why would they deal for Aldridge?

 

[BrianFromWA]

that's the vein I'm generally leaning toward, though. Trading LMA to a team that's ready to make a jump somehow (either into the playoffs, or from participant to contender) and take a not-quite-ready-for-prime-time big man and draft picks and other goodies, without losing cap space.

They think Aldridge is better than the alternatives?

K, take out the 1st and Hayward. Shit, Burks too.

I'd do Favors for Aldridge too. Its too bad the salaries don't match.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

no way utah does that

 

[STOMP]

no way utah does that

what if we threw in MickZagger and Fez?

STOMP

 

[RR7]

We'd have Favors a week, maybe two, before the same people would be on here bitching about how his offensive game is limited, how he mainly scores on putbacks, how we need him to work with Olajuwon, how he needs to learn a drop step, etc. And then in 2 years, we'd have trade scenarios. Might as well cut out the middle now. What can we trade Favors for, anyone?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll end this thread right now.

No Zags, if by some chance we trade LMA for Favors, Minnesota will not trade Love for Favors.

Fantasy over.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

what if we threw in MickZagger and Fez?

STOMP

it wouldnt really affect the salaries going out, should be fine

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i think cousins might be realistic, pull that trigger olshey

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They're going to be talking about this on Talkin' Ball.

FWIW

 

[MickZagger]

Never been a huge fan of Aldridge. Finesse big men...Meh. His PER has plummeted. A Lillard/Favors/Leonard/Batum core going forward will be solid.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A three-way involving Cousins/picks would be intriguing.

We can't send LMA to a rebuilding team.

*shouldn't(?)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

i think cousins might be realistic, pull that trigger olshey

The team that acquires Cousins better have a team full of seasoned vets.

i.e., not us.

Wait till he Z-bos himself out of Sacto and pick him up cheap.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

A three-way involving Cousins/picks would be intriguing.

So long as we're not the ones ending up with Cousins.

Look, he's Derrick Coleman II. Super talented, super strong, super dickish.

 

[Nikolokolus]

What kind of favors?

 

[Rhal]

I like the thought of
Jefferson
Favors
Burks
for
LA/Babbit/Smith
something along those lines would also do
Millsap
Kanter
Burks
for LA/+ throw ins.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

id do him and favors a favor and do him for favors

 

[3RA1N1AC]

we can sign milsap or al jeff this offseason

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

::edit::

I realized our PF/C depth would be Hickson/Leonard/Babbitt/Freeland.

Forget this idea.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

harrison fucking barnes?

 

[STOMP]

Never been a huge fan of Aldridge. Finesse big men...Meh. His PER has plummeted.

last season was his best ever PER (a beastly 22.7) in what has been a steady climb upwards throughout his career

this year he's working his way back from off-season hip surgery... tonight's game sure won't hurt his statistical cause. I think it's more likely then not that his PER will be back over 20 by mid-season

STOMP

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's one that LaMarcus certainly couldn't object to.

Splitter seems finally to have figured it out (even if they've got him wrongly categorized), and Leonard would give us an all-Leonard bench that would actually be decent. And I bet the Spurs could make something out of Babbitt.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Rough draft.

To Denver: LaMarcus Aldridge | Luke Babbitt

To Portland: Kenneth Faried | DeMarcus Cousins

To Sacramento: JaVale McGee | Evan Fournier | Pick
