DJ Trades

Possibly, but I don't know if it's enough of a savings to make losing a pick in this stacked draft worthwhile. It's a definite yes from my end though so I wouldn't complain.

Try posting it on the RGM trade board and see what they think. There's already a CHA/ATL thread so there won't be a need to make a new one

Last year ATL's pick was 24th, and they traded it for the 27th & the 31st, last of which is unguaranteed salary. I'd think 5 million in space plus a young player is a helluva lot better return than that.

Most teams' fans aren't going to go for a salary dump trade in return for assets with maybe the exception of someone like shrink (Minny fan on RGM TB) as they will always look to improve the product vs getting under a cap. I was the same in our situation...never thought Jordan would just let Felton walk, trade Chandler for (some) space nor just give Crash away.

This year I think they will add more penalties for taxpaying teams, so those not loaded (Dolan, Dr. Buss) will be even more motivated to get under.

I'd think the bigger question is would Jordan really cough up 5 million for a mid-20s pick. Hinrich would "fit" better...but we're tanking anyway.

IMO it'd most likely be Jordan killing the deal vs. ATL.

From RGM's Chicago board:

It's a no-brainer. I just don't get why the dump-Boozer/panic-trade ideas?

1. MLE will stay, it seems. Bring back the Smith, Richardson scenarios. Like JR's play-making and potential more, Rich is coming off a lame season and less talented a play-maker, but either is a colossal upgrade to Bogans.

2. That makes 1 of our SGs available. Bogans is cheap so I assume he stays. Korver or Brewer and whichever 1st ought to be dangled for another play-maker as 6th man. NOT BOOZER. I like the versatility of a point-forward- Odom would obviously be great, but LA won't wanna let him go. PF/SFs that fit the bill: Gallo, Kirilenko, Diaw. I wish Diaw didn't seem so out of shape and unmotivated, but returning Charlotte's 1st, CJ and Korver for Diaw, a lesser backup PG and 2nd rounder seems plausible.

Boris/DJ for Brewer/Watson/Bogans/CHA 1st back.

Pretty sure Bogans is unguaranteed so we can whack him right off the bat.

Here are a couple of realistic DJ trades I've posted on Realgm.

Charlotte trades:
DJ Augustin

OKC trades:
Cole Aldrich
Reggie Jackson

Why??

I like this trade as Charlotte gets a center prospect who has shown nothing in the league but was a lottery pick just a year ago...He is no longer needed as OKC now have PErkins as a part of their core.

Reggie Jackson is a good young combo guard who will add much needed scoring & back court depth, originally I had Maynor as a part of this trade but OKC are high on him & JAckson is the better fit for us.

DJA & Durant are good friends from their Texas days & he will fit perfectly into their backcourt playing behind or next to both Westbrook & Harden.

Charlotte trades:
DJ Augustin

LAL trade:
Darius Morris
Devin Ebanks
first round pick
second round pick

Why??

The lakers need both a PG & a shooter...DJ is both...

Darius Morris is a legit 6'5 PG who is a perfect compliment to both Kemba & Hendo, his playmaking abilities will help with our stagnant ball movement on offense.
Devin Ebanks has first round talent but got zero opportunities in the Laker setup, playing for us he could fulfil his talent or at least contribute at a position of need.
The first round picks help in a deep draft next year.

Would y'all send DJ and Kwame Brown to Boston for Rajon Rondo, Nenad Krstic, and rookie JaJuan Johnson of Purdue ??

umm, let me think...well, ok, i guess. only if they would consider also sending a first round pick too.

Psh. Wouldn't do it for anything less than four firsts

I liek the OKC trade idea mentioned above, not sure they would do it though. I think the team has long term plans for Cole Aldrich, I love reggie Jackson, but so do they. Thats why they traded up in the draft to get him . I am still for the DJ for Robin Lopez idea straight up, maybe they give us a 2nd rounder or something to sweeten the deal. Or maybe even this? http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=cgsealb we know they are short in size, We knwo they like Diaw as he played there before, 6th man award etc. Also it doesnt stop them rebuilding as both are expirings. Also we get an amazing mentor for Kemba. Too bad i dont think they would ever do it because they love Nash too much

DJ for Lopez and a 2nd just seems good for both teams. I have thought of that trade a 100 times .

It's a good trade for sure though I don't think Phoenix who like us lack size would do it.

I'd do a Markieff Morris/2nd for DJ though I'm not sure they would do that either.

I think they are really high on Markeiff.

How about that, Bledsoe is young with a lot of upside and had a dam good season last year.
