Will there be another trade this summer?

[Natebishop3]

Dre is gone, as expected, and so is Rudy. Will the team move Camby or Batum? How about Wesley?

We still have some pretty glaring holes in the frontcourt, so I figure something has to be done to fix that.

I'm wondering how a lockout will affect trades, free-agent signings, etc. When would the lockout go into effect?

What do you guys think of this trade?

Out: Camby/Wes
In: Jefferson/Bell

Felton/Smith/Johnson
Roy/Batum/Williams
Wallace/Batum/Babbitt
Aldridge/Wallace/Jefferson
Jefferson/Oden/Aldridge

Eight man rotation of Aldridge, Wallace, Jefferson, Batum, Felton, Smith, Roy, Oden.

I would think a smart team would trade Roy and Oden for whatever they could get at this point, especially Roy.

I'd include Felton with them and actually try to improve the team instead of retreating as we have done so far.

The tiny core we have to build around now is LaMarcus, Gerald, Nic, Wes, Nolan and maybe Patty.

I'd seriously trade every other body we have for ANYONE ELSE, just because we're going nowhere but down with this group.

Actually I'd try to just build around Patty. The rest be damned!

CLE could shop JJ Hickson, they want an sF/sf, Hickson is 22 and had a solid season - thoughts?

I'm not really clear on Cleveland's plans... are they building for a window in a few years, or are they trying to win now? If they're wanting to build for the future, I'd try to get Varajao. If they're trying to win now, you might be able to get Hickson.

I think they are gonna wait for the trading deadline, they will have better ideas about the future of Oden and Roy and the effectiveness of Felton and the development of Batum. Camby and Felton will be expiring contracts. And who knows, we might even have a GM by then.

Oden Cannot be traded until his contract is resolved (so next CBA I believe).

I think we're in for a long lockout, so forget about the summer ... maybe in December or January? We'll see.

Yeah, that's my fear as well.

no "smart team" will take Roy and Oden from my CBA understanding is not tradeable at this time, ROY goes if there is a new CBA amnesty clause

In another thread it says that Ellis asked for a trade.... do you think there is anyway we could do ellis and biedrins for camby and mathews and add some picks in there somewhere? itd give us some 3pt shooting and a Center that could do good for us? it works in trader but im not sure if its still broken or not...

or this crazy idea....
