and draft picks...also joel is not goin anywhere

 

[Darkwebs]

I hope we don't trade Batum. He's gonna be our future SF.

If I had to guess, KP's all-but-untouchable list for the level of player we're discussing is:

Roy

LMA

Oden

Rudy

Bayless

and on a bad day, Batum

I think the assets we're talking to other teams are...

RLEC

Outlaw

Blake

Webster

Frye

Diogu

Freeland

Randolph

Sergio

Any draft pick in our arsenal

$3MM


Those are a lot of attractive trade assets. It's one of the reasons I think we can be so stingy with who we'll deal.

I think for the right deal Bayless or Batum can be had. Say for Devin Harris or possibly Sessions.

 

[drexlersdad]

Would you do this deal?

Saves Bucks money while getting some good young talent back. Hate to lose Bayless but........Sessions is damn good.

hell no, we can do better.

you forgot koponen lol.

 

[Crimson the Cat]

I still say Vince Carter is the target. Dooling is the sweetener. Vince is playing at a higher level than all the other talked-about SFs.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Dooling and sweetener should not be placed in the same sentence

 

[free_lafrentz]

Dooling is definitely not "sweetener".

And as for the deal rumored for RJ I would imagine that we are offering Raef + Sergio and change or Raef + Travis and change.

The only reason I can think of for the Bucks not to do the deal right now is they sorely need a quality guard. They probably want Bayless (like everyone else).

It's probably just going to be a waiting game for KP as it seems he's just waiting patiently for opposing GM's to feel the pinch come the trade deadline and succumb to the pressure to stay under the salary cap.

Holding out until the dying minutes of the deadline is likely what will happen, but Raef's contract is too good to pass up on for at least one cost-cutting franchise we're looking to deal with.

If KP can somehow get ahold of Caron Butler without giving up any of the core pieces we've got, I don't know what I'd do... I'd go insane.... in a good way. And in core pieces I mean Roy/LMA/Oden/Rudy/Bayless/Batum

Some of these trades are a little out there, more realistically I see something like this happening:

No way Portland leaves Bayless as its only PG on the roster.

I was trying to figure out...if PHX does deal away Amare...and possibly Shaq...Why would they hold onto Nash?

He has like 2-3? good years left in him...Kerr doesn't really believe that Shaq & Nash and Tyrus Thomas\Noah or Beasley\Marion can lead them to an NBA championship does he?

IMO, IF the situation with Amare is unrepairable, then they should trade away all 3 and rebuild...

IF he was available, I'd love to see POR go after Nash...and yes, I would offer young prospects for 2-4 years of Steve Nash...

Nash, Matt Barnes, Grant Hill & filler? for Raef, Batum, Bayless & Frye (expiring....or Outlaw\Webster)? Maybe throw in a 1st round pick....

Not if you trade for Caron Butler.
