The Definitive Trade Ideas Thread

[Bogg]

They won't take Thomas and his contract because it kills any cap space they create by getting rid of Boozer, to say nothing of the fact that they got rid of him because they didn't want him back when he wasn't wildly overpaid. Take out Thomas and Rip's expiring deal (which gets you to the original version of this that I posted) and you might have something on your hands.

[Aircat]

Yes, you're propsal inspired the trade.. Yeah i guess u're right the inclusion of TT would kill the trade.

Anyway, was just reading who is on the trading block. Not that the Cats are willing to part with their assets to join the trade talks concerning big time players, still im curious if the Cats play a fascilitator role if a 3rd team is needed to make the numbers match.t

I actually think Charlotte needs to identify two or three guys they want to build with (likely Kemba+MKG plus a coach's favorite or two) and put anything and everything else on the table this summer. They badly need two top guys, you have to hope they pick one in the draft, and the other guy is going to have to come from making a major move.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I wasn't calling you out for trying to steal the trade idea or anything, I just don't think Chicago accepts any deal with Tyrus involved.

Alright, now here comes a conroversial one:

Thomas and Gordon for Boozer, Hamilton, our pick back and the Euro Forward stashed in Spain by the Bulls. Too much?

That won't be happening anytime soon... Literally the best deal ever for us.

This is where I am so pleased we have Cho running the show. I trust him to make the right call. Either keep him, or trade him for an offer that benefits us.

Out: Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, First round pick. In: Glen Davis, 2nd Round Pick 2014, Ish Smith.

I'm not a huge fan of Kemba. I understand the toughness factor, the leadership, and the volume scoring...but he provides weak distribution of the basket-ball, his natural tendancy is ISO, and regardless of his defensive efforts, there will be a mediocre ceiling to his defensive effectiveness in contesting shots and preventing penetration. I beleive MKG has equal, if not more natural leadership than Kemba..still instilling the same hustle and toughness..he seems more like a small ego, encouraging type of leader as opposed to put the team on his back on the floor leader, which I think is crucial given the amount of young talent on the team. He also needs to get the ball more to improve to gain experience and become a more polished scorer, which I don't see really happening.

Ramon Sessions is not only an effective distributor, but a nice scoring option as well. He is not as "sexy" in terms of being a fan favorite...but his pure point guard pedigree is unquestionable, he shows balance at the position, and he provides veteran leadership.

Henderson is great mid-range, great near the rim, and is the team captain. That being said, Jeffery Taylor is an absolute steal..great beyond the arc, athletic, a great perpetrator, and another big contract to avoid, which Jordan favors. I believe our veterans in Sessions, Haywood, and Gordon can hold the fort in terms of leadership, along with MKG. It's not that I'm not a fan of Hendo, he is an above average talent...but we added value to our guard talent in drafting Taylor, why not fill a team need via trade when we have big potential in Taylor?

Glen Davis is a rock, solid center in the league. There is not enough talent (including 2013 draft pick) we can afford to lose in order to trade in a top ten center in the league. He provides a much needed upgrade in rebounding, decrease in opponent in-the-paint scoring as well as a legitamate scoring threat to counter Mullen's outside scoring tendency and Bismak's limited scoring capabilities. He is also young, which is a must since we want our core of young talent to peak at the same general time for our playoff hopes. I will also say he fits the Bobcat's brand in toughness in hustle. He is right now, the missing piece to our team.

Horrible trade. Kemba, Gerald AND a first round pick? GTFOH. Are you an Orladno plant or something?

Glen davis is at best a marginal starter. Ish Smith is garbage. I'd want Cho fired immediately if he did that trade.

this a joke right?

oh yeah, welcome to the planet! post away. take solace in knowing you have posted the least homerish trade ever!

[SWedd523]

I appreciate all the effort going into your first post. But that is a truly bad trade.


I do want to say welcome to BCP though, and don't be discouraged by the responses that proposal is bound to receive

With these trades we come up with a more balanced lineup and same firepower with some low post help. Most of these players are under contract for a couple years and are on low salaries that in the off season could be move if need be and we still have cap space.

Kemba, Sessions
Hendo, Brooks, Bogans
MKG, Taylor, Buds
Thompson, Thomas, Williams
Haywood, Biz, Diop
