A few trade ideas with bad teams:

[Harambe]

Maggette you say?

Lets talk about Maggz.

Career ppg 16.6. Solid enough, imo.

But then there's the steals... an amazing .8 for his career, and .2 blocks. :epic:

Boards are 5.1, so that's decent for a SF. 2.35 TO's is fair. 2.2 Assists per game, which having watched him play I'm surprised by. 82% FT and 32% 3pfg.

Of the 902 games he's been in the NBA for, he's played in 710, and only started 432. So, he's missed 2.5 seasons...ish. For being a scorer he's never had a 40 point game.

I'm a Maggz hater. I don't care for him, and I don't think he's all that great, and I do not think he'll put up better numbers per minute played than AK. But after relooking at his stats, if we can get him on the Cheap I would go for it.

Roach, would you do my third trade where we get Jefferson and Mags then?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

You really should add the word "bad" in the title of this thread.

I could see AK + 9 for Maggette +6. I'm not 100% sure the Jazz would do this though unless they totally are in love with Monroe.

That could actually work.

If Boozer leaves as expected and Millsap starts at PF, a 20ppg scorer like Maggette would bring more scoring. He's also strong enough to guard Artest while Wes and CJ take turns at Kobe.

GS would probably welcome not just AK's expiring contract but also his game.

(Minor point -- since Maggette next season will get paid about $8M less than AK, a contract filler from GS would be needed and the closest match seems to be Radmanovic's expiring.)

Moving up the draft is always good while the drop for GS won't be too much in return for getting rid of Maggette's 3 remaining years. So yeah, AK+9 for Maggette+6 is the most realistic and fair draft day trade idea I've seen so far here in JazzFanz II.

The first idea i've got that I would love, but who knows if Minnesota is this desperate?

AK
#9 Pick
Memphis Pick

to Minnesota for
Al Jefferson
Corey Brewer.

If Minnesota doesn't trade Jefferson for Danny Granger, why on the Good Lord's green earth, would they have any interest in this deal?

 

[gregbroncs]

Ak is better than Maggette and has a better contract. moving up 3 spots is not enough.

I would only do the trade back option if none of the player's they want are there at 9. Johnson, Monroe or Udoh. Trade back take a shot with Hassan Whiteside and then pick up a wing with the 2nd pick.

I would maybe trade up for Maggette if Cousins or Wesley Johnson fall that far.

Its called a salary dump where they get some picks out of the deal, bra. Bad teams have actually done this in the past to get another top-10 pick for a all-star caliber player. See: Ray Allen to Boston.

 

[Mambo]

we would be the worst defensive team in the league

Yes, but at least we wouldn't be the "hustliest/whitest" team in the NBA.

 

[billyshelby]

Does anyone really understand that Golden State would give Maggette away for free if they could? Like, for nothing.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Yes, but at least we wouldn't be the "hustliest/whitest" team in the NBA.

That was actually Indiana last year, followed by Toronto.

While talking about trades with Philly, what would people think about the following:

AK47 and Memo to Philly
Igoudala and Dalembert to Utah

Salary wise it works.

We get the defensive SG who can play Kobe and a shot blocking center. Philly gets rid of two players who couldnt lead it to a winning season.

Seeing as boozer is most likely leaving - the trade may look more attractive for philly with boozer thrown in somehow.

Personally, I would love to get igoudala to the jazz somehow.
