Trade Proposal

[Ampsportsduo]

Greetings fellow philosophers. Long time, no see.

Was trying to find a way to get any sort of trade worked out for Diaw. After giving up, I started trying to find a way for the Cats to serve as a facilitator in other trades and came up with this scenario. Curious to get folks thoughts.

Cats Get:
Goran Dragic (Expiring)
Kevin Martin (1 more year, $1 million over Maggette)
DAL first round pick from LAL
Right to swap 1st round picks with HOU

Rockets Get:
Pau Gasol

Lakers Get:
Louis Scola
DJ Augustin
Corey Maggette

Lose only DJ and Corey, Gain 1st round pick and Kevin Martin.

Yes Please.

I don't want Martin as he is not need on the team because we have Hendo. I did alittle better while getting some key players at positions we need. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=72bczez The picks included still along with the swap option of swapping with Houston has a nice touch as well.

Just a side note hear . But i would love a way to give this guy a chance. He could score his ass off in college. If he got playing time he could score . Hes averageing all most 25ppg now.

Perhaps I should have elaborated on some of the particulars. The goal of the trade is to get an additional first round pick, not to win games. Maggette is not a longterm piece of the build and DJ is likely not either. He and his agent seem to be looking for more than the front office is willing to pony up. If he is going to walk, he should be shopped. Not sure we are getting a better pick from either or both of these guys.

bobcats & lakers in talks...LA trying to use trade exception CHO trying to get third team involved (Orlando) don't know all the specifics yet because he doesn't know either but Gasol, Howard, DJ White, Matt Barnes, Jameer Nelson to name a few mentioned to be invovled..bottom line DJ ends in LA seems Charlotte is said to be trying to do too much so maybe deal won't happen but a straight up trade is what LA is trying to do and DJ is being shopped.

DJ for the exception straight up? LAWL

Have heard chatter of Diaw for LAL trade exception, to facilitate a trade for LA to get Calderon, but that would run counter to Ballwhore's intel.
