Aldridge trade scenarios

[KeepOnRollin]

Rough draft.

To Denver: LaMarcus Aldridge | Luke Babbitt

To Portland: Kenneth Faried | DeMarcus Cousins

To Sacramento: JaVale McGee | Evan Fournier | Pick

Who gives the pick to Sacramento? It better be a dang high one for them to even consider that deal.

 

[RoyToy]

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.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Two part trade. Extremely unrealistic (why would UTH take this garbage? Include next season's draft pick?).

Garbage for Millsap/Watson: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=crqaaqe

LMA for Cousins/Thornton: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=d67u7ka

Line-up: Lillard, Wes, Nic, Millsap, Cousins

Bench: Watson, Thornton, Hickson, Leonard (Babbitt, Pav, Barton)

I think it would have to be Denver; since Portland already traded this year's pick right?

There is a really good chance we keep our pick this year, but we can't trade it until the draft, and only then if we acquire another one since it could be gone the following year

I knew there was something to it. I remembered reading in here that we had an opportunity to trade a pick last summer because we had two picks.

We can trade the rights to the player, though, and be ok.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I don't get the joke; it seems like both teams might at least consider that trade. San Antonio could go with Aldridge and Parker and Duncan for one or two last tries at titles, and Portland would pick up two very promising guys who fit in with the age group they are working with. Not sure if San Antonio would do it because of the financial implications.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I wonder if Neil Oshley knows we are talking about this?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Absolutely, but you can't make that trade until the draft is over

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Technically you could make the trade right after the pick is made but basically the same thing as you are saying.

 

[RR7]

Absolutely, but you can't make that trade until the draft is over

sure, we can argue semantics. But we can m0ove our pick this year if it's at the draft, is all.

And we are in good position; being under cap. We could essentially trade a pick for a player(s) absorbing the entire salary.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I would trade Aldridge and another player outside of Lillard and Batum to Washington for Okafor and there #1 pick without blinking once.

Aldridge and Babbitt for Evans, Robinson and Fredette.
Not a huge fan of it, personally, but don't see them moving Cousins for Aldridge.

I like it, I like it A LOT!!

I think it's more likely then not that his PER will be back over 20 by mid-season

to MickZagger's complaint that "LA's PER has plummetted" it took all of a month to get it back up over 20

STOMP

 

[julius]

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.

Updated #'s.

Aldridge- PER: 20.2
Favors- PER: 18.1

F- DRtg: 102
A- DRtg: 106

F- Reb/36: 10.6
A- Reb/26: 7.6

I think maybe waiting more than less than a month before we throw someone under the bus is kind if important.

All of Favors #'s got worse, all of LaMarcus' #'s got better.

The biggest downfall of LaMarcus's game is his rebounding. But with Hickson averaging 11 boards a game (and almost 14 per 36), and his DR% being almost 30% (and a TR% higher than anyone on either team), and Nic averaging almost 6 a game, I don't know if Favors would have similar stats).

He would be awesome as a backup (which is what he is in Utah).

 

[BigGameDamian]

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.

Lets hope so, The same was said for KP and he couldn't do it. The thing the gets me is KP is still referred to as a gunslinger and I don't see it.I hope Olshley is more like Bob.

Who would you like to see traded, BGD?

No one impeticular, The thing with Hickson is although he is a hustle player and he puts up good numbers he's really not all that on defense and furthermore is not much of a rim protector.

So, who do you want Olshey to go after? In your opinion, which rim protectors are available and would complement our team nicely?

 

[BigGameDamian]

I don't know DeMarcus Cousins, Anderson Varejao and Emeka Okafor could all be available.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Emeka Okafor? He's at best a bench player now.

Demarcus Cousins and Anderson Varejao are under contract next season with their respective teams. So, which players are you trading for them?

 

[jlprk]

Just be psychologically prepared to make a trade, wait for an opportunity, then strike while the iron is hot.

Step 1 is the purpose of all this talk.

DeMarcus Cousins! Get him while his value is low. Buy low, sell high!
Although I'm recanting my "desire" to also obtain Evans in the trade. (Desire being in quotes because I don't desire him at all and think he's garbage. Might be a good bench player. But with the knee...just steer clear.)
