Off-Season Trade and Free Agent Ideas Thread

[Kemba2Hendo]

Completely agreed. A Mayo/Hendo backcourt with BG backing up both positions would be awesome.

And what is Kemba going to do rot on the bench??

[SWedd523]

Beasley is a bum and made his teams worse the more minutes he got. He's also nowhere near the type of player Cho is going to bring around. Bismack... Kemba... MKG... yeah, no chance.

I've liked Mayo, but it seems he's peaked his rookie year and has been downhill since. There is no way I'd offer him $8mil per but if he came around that 4-5 range then sure. He doesn't really seem like a Cho type of guy either though.

Blazers didn't offer QO to JJ Hickson, not sure of his numbers, guessing $4M based off this tweet.

@johnhollinger
More like 2.5-3 for me. RT @EricElizondo8 do you think JJ Hickson is worth 4mill?

Based on that, 3.5M??...Hickson was very productive with the Blazers last year in Aldridge's absence, LaMarcus has refused to play Center and they figure they can get another PF for less.

I can see JJ being given a chance with Charlotte, if the money is right. Still a young player who can bloom into something pretty good. Not great, but good.

Are the Mayo supporters prepared to offer him 5 years/40 million?

Not for that amount of cash. I like Mayo ( the shooting guard, not the condiment ) but that's just too much to commit to a player like him.

And what is Kemba going to do rot on the bench??

Damn. That was probably my dumbest post ever, lol... And I'm a Kemba guy.

That makes it much harder to see us bringing on Mayo regardless, unless we let go of Hendo. I mean, we could still bring Mayo in, but I doubt he wants to be in a 4 guard rotation.

I read the Grizzlies expect him to be offered more annually than the qualifying offer, and that's about 7.5 million. Not worth that kind of money at all.

I don't want either The one thing i like is that we have brought in guys like biz,kemba,hendo,gordon,and mkg,that are all humble,hard woking,coachable,team first guys.I think we're gonna end up with a very strong locker room here and i don't want any super ego childish me first guys like mayo or beasley anywhere near this team.If we bring in any vets this year,i want them to be good leaders and positive role models like jamison or miller.

[BETCATS]

We need a pure power forward to replace DJ White and a pass first point guard to replace DJ Augustin. Not a shooting guard and a combo forward.
No on both unless we trade Hendo.

I could see him getting a shot here, and I'd like that very much. I think he'd be a good value and would offer good production at the PF spot. Hopefully this is one the FO can get done.

Along the lines of going after vets like Jamison...If the Mavs amnesty Brendan Haywood, I think he also might come at a decent price. He'd be a nice backup option and would be another vet to help the young guys. Just an idea for some vets for the young guys.
