NBA Association Trade Talks

[Vinsane]

All right, let's try this.

Cavaliers Receive:

PF Chris Bosh

Thunder Receive:

SF Jawad Williams
C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
PF Leon Powe
C Patrick O'Bryant

Raptors Receive:

C Etan Thomas
SG Thabo Sefolosha
CLE 2010 1st Round Pick.

Raptors seem to be getting the short end of the stick still. This is a tough one. lol.

Maybe bring in a different 3rd team? A team actively seeking cap relief for 2010? dunno.

 

[mfbmike]

Probably. Depends what you can give them. But in most cases, yeah. Hard to go after players who just signed extensions that show upside like Webster does.

 

[Vinsane]

Next....

Cavaliers Receive:

PF Chris Bosh

Raptors Receive:

SF D. Gallinari
C E. Curry
2010 CLE First Round Pick

New York Receives:

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
PF Leon Powe
SF Jawad Williams
C Patrick O'Bryant

 

[Yawkey Way]

i think that trade would only work if you gave up either 2 firsts, or made sure that the Raptors get Powe, big Z, and Gallinari.

 

[mfbmike]

Would the Knicks give up the italian stallion though? How bad is curry's contract?

I think you would have to take that on for it to be fair. Raptors don't have a use for him unless you create a storylinein your chise that he is ballin out of control and having a great year and could be good off the bench for them. But even then, they would have to be struggling for them to give up Bosh.

ugh, this is a difficult trade to draw up. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS VINNIE.

 

[Vinsane]

If you can, give the raptors Jawad, and it's good. If not, still like it.

lol, drafting up the final iteration I think...

Cavaliers Get:

PF Chris Bosh

Knicks Get:

C Z. Ilgauskas
PF Leon Powe
PF Sean Williams
SG Antoine Wright

Raptors Get:

SF Jawad Williams
SF David Gallinari
C Eddy Curry
2010 1st Round Pick (CLE)

Why it would Work?

Cleveland - Dumps Ilgauskas, ineffective to this point. Pulls trigger early on acquiring Bosh. Plenty of depth at PF to let Leon Powe go, plenty of depth at SF to let Jawad Williams walk.

New York - Eddie Curry has been a disappointment and they can afford to let Gallinari walk. Getting a bigger expiring contract in Z for letting Curry's 10M walk. Also getting depth at PF and SG with the addition of Sean Williams, Wright, Powe.

Raptors - Draft pick speaks for itself. Gets depth at SF with Jawad Williams to back up Hedo Turkeyglue. Also receiving Gallinari at SF. Dumping two of six PF to unclog the log jam at the four and picking up more depth at Center with the addition of Eddy Curry.

Thoughts?

It wouldn't make sense for the Raptors to get Powe. They currently have six PF's and the point of this trade is to move some of them out of Toronto and get depth at other positions.

Would the Knicks give up the italian stallion though? How bad is curry's contract?

but even then, they would have to be struggling for them to give up Bosh.

Curry's contract: 1yr/10.50M
Raptors: (5-15) Last place in the East. Currently.

 

[mfbmike]

So the Knicks exchange a 10 mill expiring and a 2nd year pro with potential to be really good? For what? For Leon Powe?

Why not try a 2 team trade with the raptors only?

To make the trade work, wouldn't be realistic imo because no one would want his contract but here's green lights on this trade.

Raptors Get:

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
PF Anderson Varejao
2010 First Round Pick
2011 First Round Pick

Cavaliers Get:

PF Chris Bosh
SG Antoine Wright.

 

[mfbmike]

That actually looks veryfair and reeks of "desperation".

Win or Bust. You compromise your future in an effort to win now. Sometime that is just what you gotta do.

Especially with the potential of Lebron James bolting town if he doesn't get a ring this year. Gutsy move!

So if I hold off until near the deadline and the Raptors are still in the cellar, this would get the mfbmike trade seal of approval?

 

[bailey4mvp]

Going to do this, just want some input.

Thunder Receive:

F/C Nathan Jawai
F Shawne Williams

Mavericks Receiver:

F/C Michael Ruffin
2010 2nd rd Pick

I get somehelp down low and off the bench, they get an ex[piring and and pick that they can use for trade bait or pick up some depth or an overseas player that they will keep overseas.

I'd do it. Looks good. You could put Shawne in the D League if need be.

 

[bailey4mvp]

[LC AAU]

I was thinking that too haha.

 

[bailey4mvp]

I was thinking that too haha.

Lol, nah i don't really care i just figured he is a massive rig that sees no playing time and i don't really have anything to offer this early in this season for Area51 or another player like that,

but being an Aussie and man best man at my wedding trained him when was with Cairns can't help either.
