DJ Trades

[Chef]

Lakers want a young PG, We need scoring, and Rockets want Gasol how bout

Charlotte lands: Kevin Martin and Chase Budinger

Lakers land: Augustin & Diaw

Rockets land: Pau Gasol & Derrick Brown

it works cap wise http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=7ytg5dy

Then could trade Maggette to somewhere for center help or cap relief (maybe Spurs for PF/C Bonner & expiring contract of TJ Ford)

Rumor on RGM trade board that the Lakers & Bulls are talking:

http://forums.realgm.com/boards/view...?f=2&t=1146274

Gasol for Booz, Korver, Bulls' 1st & Charlotte's 1st.

DJ to the Lakers for our pick? Personally I think that'd be great value.

this makes no sense at all if i am the lakers. why would i want the terrible contract of boozer (who does just about what gasol does), a backup sg, a very late 1st round pick and a charlotte pick that can't be realized for at least 2 years because of how bad we are at its protections?

unless you think bynum, filler, 3#1's get it done for howard and shitty contract player from orlando.

I think it's pretty dubious too. They (Bulls' fans) found it on a Spanish website, and they said it's basically going down because Pau is wanting to be traded just like Lamar.

I posted this based on the trade board post; afterward I went to the Bulls' board and read what was then 5 pages. After that I realized it probably was BS.

i agree. i love this stuff goes. i would bet pau isn't happy. he was basically blamed for their loss last year and is probably tired of being kobe's whipping post especially since he won't be happy this year. but to say that the lakers would rush to get rid of him before howard has found a new home is stupid.

i do think the lakers really messed up with odom. why wouldn't you at least get a draft pick or two. not the protected crap they got from dallas.

I've been trying to find a 3 way including NOLA as I think they would like DJ, and I can see them having a need for Boris as well.

My first attempt:

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7pgvbz4

I don't really care for it, but those of you who want to get rid of Boris might like it. We basically dump Boris' contract and swap out DJ for Thompson. SAC does Thompson for Kaman, absorbing the extra into their available space. NOLA flips Kaman for DJ/Boris. and balances them a little bit more.

CHA out: DJ/Boris
CHA in: Thompson

NOLA out: Kaman
NOLA in: DJ/Boris

SAC out: Thompson
SAC in: Kaman.

If nothing else it'd give us more cap to play with this year.

Kings need a big man

Kaman for Tyrus and Augustin

Still think a version of my idea could be done...and I definitely like the idea of Tyrus instead of Boris. Again, I would like more value coming our way...but there's no way I see Stern giving us a NOLA pick after the Paul fiasco. Maybe a young guy like Green (tho I'm not high on him either)?

if we could manage the second scenario with a pick i would be praising cho through and through. if we didn't get a pick i would be ecstatic. we get out from underneath the tyrus fiasco which allows us to not use our amnesty (which jordan definitely doesn't want to do, he barely wants to players that play as it is) and get one hell of an expiring/sign and trade center to move at the deadline which would surely net us another 2012 draft pick.

next year we are looking at mags, diop, carroll all expiring and options on mullens and williams for a combined 28 mil in cap space in which to be a trade facilitator and accumulate more assets.

the more i write that out the more i don't think NO would be allowed to do this deal.

I think Tyrus' contract will be the issue and why there's no way in hell a pick from them would even be discussed.

So you'd do Tyrus/DJ for Kaman straight up? Not flip him to the Kings for some youth and/or instant space now? I guess that would be the wager...which way would net more return.

i would do that for sure. don't think i would do diaw and dj for him though. diaw is going to be a valuable deadline player. he is a multi position expiring player who doesn't demand the ball and can play crunch time minutes if you need him.

if we could land kaman we would have two highly valuable expiring front line players. i think if we played it right we walk away with a 2012 or 2013 pick for both. we don't need the immediate salary relief right now because there is no way in hell a decent FA wants to come here. nor do i want any money spent on a FA short of a star. we need to really suck for 2 years. 2 years of a high pick of ours and at least 1 other first rounder gets us a very nice core and hopefully a superstar.

again, it is all up to the draft gods.

This is also a 2 for 1 deal...which would allow us to match Dante and bring in a better pairing guard for Kemba while just losing Ely.

I'm down.

Heh, another NOLA/CHA thread with almost the same deal except with Boris. A NOLA fan (I think) would rather have Tyrus.
