what about this, switch out millsap with foye (memphis is desperate for outside shooting), and throw in the GS draft pick, and maybe another pick: https://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=b5vgxf5

I'm going to boycott until something like this trade is made: https://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=apmb9vn Plus a 1st round pick from the Cats. I know Gordon's contract sucks, but it's only 2 years, and it's worth shedding Big Al, giving Favors and Kanter more playing time, and...

https://www.slcdunk.com/2012/12/22/3796298/a-plea-for-patience-but-only-until-feb-21st According to the author, this is why. I agree with the author; he makes a really great point about showcasing both Big Al and Millsap and the inevitable trade of one or the other. It should be Big Al...

Oh didn't know about that Detroit pick, yeah throw that in, that pick will definitely be lottery and probably top 6. Rad.

Yea, that's the dilemma that faces any team with unrestricted free agents, since a team can just sign them in the off-season without giving up a player. That's why I think the Bobcats have all the ingredients to make them a willing trade partner in that scenario: they're a bottom-tier team...

Oh, and a 1st round draft pick from the Bobcats, since we're giving up more talent and experience. I think the Bobcats will bite--they need veteran experience, a scorer in the post, and they're super desperate right now with their losing streak. I bet MJ is biting to make a trade.

A lot of us want Big Al to be traded. But to where, and for whom? Have no fear, I have found a viable trade--not a perfect trade, but a decent enough one to pull the trigger: Big Al + Randy Foye + Raja Bell to the Charlotte Bobcats for BJ Mullens + Ben Gordon + Diop (works in ESPN Trade...

Oh ok, I got that from Locke, but now i see on SLCdunk that you're right. Yeah, I'd say sign him now.

KOC recently said that they won't bring in Tomic until he really proves himself, since he'll be incredibly expensive (the Jazz have to pay off his team, and then pay him). Also, Gasol is starting to slow down, he'll be his own stopper. Still a great player.

Agree with your assessment of each player. And yeah, Rush or Lee would be great as complimentary pieces that wouldn't block Burks's development (and for Rush, maybe even surpass it). I still think we should target Ilyaslova, who's an unrestricted FA, but only if we can get rid of Big Al or...

What about Ilyaslova? He'd work well with Favors down low, and can also play some PF. A younger version of Kirilenko with a much better jump shot (though probably not as good of a passer). Maybe a sign-and-trade with the Bucks, AJ for Ilyaslova, if the salaries match up? They need an inside...

Me too. Works as a straight-up trade in NBA trade machine. A 1st rounder too would be nice, but probably not realistic.

And instead of having a young unproven C like Thabeet, I would focus on the young bigs we already have (Favors and Kanter), and sign a cheap veteran like Pryzbilla or Elson to be that 4th C who can step up in case of an injury, but who also wouldn't mind riding the pine.

I like the idea of trading with Houston and giving them Big Al. But instead of taking yet another young project C in Thabeet, and while Lee is solid, I would focus on getting a veteran, athletic wing who can defend the perimeter, pass the ball, and hit the open shot. Iggy > Lee. Here's my...

Or even better, this works too--Bell gets to go back to the team that he started his career with and backup Turner, and Burks gets his minutes: https://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6oux75g
