'08 Trade Ideas

yes, number 15 ...what a steal!!!

Kgreg's deal for Miller seems like a good option...

The stars are lined up similar to 04... this is a rare op to use multiple exps to acquire a big man.... all things being equal we should use the assets for a center as they are much harder to find via FA and the draft.... Our MLE could bring in a solid SF this summer.

Let's see if this sticks:

Seattle receives: Dice, Murray, 1st rounder
Detroit receives: Wilcox, Gelabale

Wilcox would play exclusively at Center... his forte is the P&R and scoring in the paint.
His contract expires the same year as Sheed's... this lines up with bringing Samb into a larger role.
It gives Amir a chance to gain minutes while making our backup 5 a strength instead of the current weakness.
Gelabale assigned to the D-League

C- Sheed, Wilcox, Brezec
PF- Brahma, Amir, Wilcox
SF- Tay, Hermann, Hayes
SG- Rip, Afflalo, Stuckey
PG- C.B., Stuckey, Hunter

I like it.

If yall think Max and Amir are better players at 'this stage' of their careers than Wilcox, well :nerd2: 'kookoo - kookoo'....

by the way, Merc's icon = ARRRGHHHH!

What the hell, why not eat the cake too... along the lines of KGregs deal:

Memphis receives: Brezec, Hermann, Hayes, Afflalo, our TPE
Pistons receive: Miller, Jacobson (exp filler)

It gives the Grizz more PT for Rudy Gay and our 07 1st rounder.

New lineup:

C- Sheed 30 MPG... Wilcox 18 MPG, Samb (insurance)
PF- Jmax 25 MPG, Amir 23 MPG, Wilcox (in case these kids don't cut it)
SF- Tay 23 MPG, Miller 25 MPG, Amir
SG- Rip 32 MPG, Tay 8 MPG, Stuckey 8 MPG
PG- C.B. 32 MPG, Stuckey 16 MPG, Hunter (playoffs)

HQ, why not take the AV and make a dart board :^)

I like that trade.

I think Maxiell is a better player than Wilcox today, and I don't think very highly of Maxiell. Wilcox is an equally bad rebounder, stupider (i.e., much worse defensively), is less talented offensively, and gets to the line less.

His sole piece of luck is to play for the tanking, mismanaged, fraudulently owned, big-man-deprived Seattle SuperSonics.

My opinion of Amir is declining by the week as he continues down the Darko path, so you could be right about him.

Wow! That WAS ancient. Was Viagra even around then? 'Dre would know.....

????

Answer: What is Mike Miller's nickname

Crackhose? Sugarpants?

Sugarcube Roscoespants?

Sweet cheeks?

I don't think the Sonics would be interested in Flip Murray. He played in Seattle a few years back and was a fan least-favorite.

I think Wilcox is a good player with some serious limitations. He doesn't play much defense. I'm sure he could learn, but it hasn't been a priority during his Seattle tenure. He doesn't rebound very well either, but with the Sonics unorganized play, it's hard to get into good position before someone hoists up a crazy shot. So I guess I don't really know if he can rebound.

He does have crazy athleticism, and decent offensive skills. If the Pistons played him, I think Sheed would have to move to the center position. CW could probably be had for an expiring contract, since the Sonics seem very interested in dumping salary and keeping the costs low.

OK at first I was just joking, but if we really could trade, Herrmann, Hunter, Murray and Hayes for Mike Miller.............DO IT!!! DO IT!!!! DO IT I SAY!!!!!

I'd even throw in a 1st rounder or .........(long sigh & many tears) Arron Afflalo. I like AA, but man Mike Miller......WHEW!!!! This would solve many things wrong with this team. One- it would cut Rips mins, Two - It would push Tayshaun at the SF spot and cut his mins down. We would have a legit 8 man rotation going into the playoffs (5 starters + Max, Stuck and MM). We get more athleticism at the wing position - Miller is alot better slasher than Tayshaun. Lastly we'd have to bring Samb back and suit him up every night.
