Off-Season Trade and Free Agent Ideas Thread

I disagree.I think robinson can potentially be that special.There are no true superstars in their prime who we are gonna be offered for this pick and every other possible "star" that we could get a crack @ for a deal is probably already old,will be too old by the time we can legitimately contend,or is probably about to expire and wouldn't re-sign here with the current team we have.The grass isn't always greener on the other side.If i was cho, i might be looking to trade player's,the 31 pick, or the portland pick,to get other selections or move back in the first round.But there's not a snowball's chance in hell that i wouldn't take robinson @ 2.And we should feel lucky to have the chance to do so!

this.

Buy and take on ariza's contract for the 10th pick.

Then trade the 10th pick + portlands 2013 pick to houston for the 14th and 16th pick.

Then attempt to trade the 16th pick +tyrus thomas to boston for the 21st and 22nd pick.

That would potentially give us a 2012 draft of

2nd - thomas robinson

14th - terrence ross

21st - quincy miller

22nd - fab melo

31st - tony wroten

yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! I would be the happiest person in the world!

That is too many rookies, even for a rebuilding team. A coach would never want that many rookies on a team and it would not work well. I know the aim is not to win games, but getting a bunch of rookies is silly. Maybe take fournier with the 22nd and stash him for a year

Id much rather have young talented athletic guys than older NBA vets that have maxed out their potential. Until we land a super star I dont wanna win many games.

Without completely gutting our team and rebuilding from the ground up (through the draft mainly) we will continue to stay irrelevant.

It is not like we would be starting all rookies.

Id effing kill to get these players. I can see each one with the exception of Ross becoming All Stars. Im not greedy though so id be ecstatic with 3.

Thomas Robinson

Quincy Miller

Fab Melo

But dang I want Tony Wroten too! lol

Get to work Cho!

Another thing you will have to remb is these guys will not be rookies 2 - 4 years down the road when HOPEFULLY we will make a title run!

Normally, I'd agree with you. But we have a serious lack of talent on this squad. Depending on who the players were, I wouldn't mind getting 4-5 guys. If you take guys like Robinson, Marshall, and Royce White-- guys who seem to be pretty mature and have their heads on right, anxiety issues aside-- I think you're o.k. You'd definitely want high quality character guys to do something like that, though, and not just a bunch of cocky young guys who might take some time to transition to the grown men's league.

Still, it is worth considering that you'd have a third of your roster as brand new players. That is a LOT of rookies. You'd want to know what you were getting into before you subjected your other young players to that.

I'm really excited to see Cho flex his magic this offseason. I know last year was his first year with us, and he did snag us two top-10 picks in the draft and they're looking promising. I think he is more comfortable, his blueprint is more evident and his vision is clear. I think we can walk away from this draft with Robinson at 2, move to #10 and get Harkless/Lillard/Ross and then trade again into the late 1st to get Wroten/Q.Miller/J.Taylor. I think three draftees out of the top 31 in this draft will be okay for where our team is. I would heart a line-up going into this season of....

Kemba/Wroten ................ or ................ Kemba/Lillard
Henderson/Reggie ........... or ................. Henderson/Reggie
Ariza/Harkless .............. or ................. Ariza/Q.Miller
Robinson/Tyrus ............... or ................ Robinson/Tyrus
Biyombo/Mullens .............. or ................ Biyombo/Mullens

We need a true defensive tall C.

Fab Melo fits the bill nicely and can be had late.

[WAM9]

We need a true defensive tall C.

Where are you going to find a true defensive center with longer than a 7'5'' reach?

Oh, wait, that's right...we already have him on the roster.

Why would we need another one and duplicate the best player on our roster?

[superb1]

Espn ran this idea, Im not too keen of it though

3. Minnesota Timberwolves trade F Derrick Williams and the No. 18 pick to the Charlotte Bobcats for the No. 2 pick.
