What's new

Another premature trade thread...based on our current team, who/what could we trade Al for?

I can see where you could debate that Al is a better defensive rebounder and shot blocker, but how can you seriously think he is a better man defender. Put the Jazz flavored Kool-Aide down young man.

I think he's a better man defender. I guarantee if you match up both guys on Aldridge and let them go 1 v 1 Al would do better defensively. The thing is you could run 100 PnRs in a row on Al and you'd beat him every time.
 
If anything the trade for Marvin is probably a sign we aren't trading Jefferson.

This is a bit of a leap, but this also occurred to me.
Please don't let it be.

I can still see an argument that we are one short on the wings (since I don't think anybody assumes we are getting anything from Murphy). I'm hoping for a Jefferson trade and a Danny Green acquisition. If we could trade Jefferson (2- or 3-team trade) and bring back Collison (who could really help our bench and add to our ability to drive), I'd be ecstatic.
 
If anything the trade for Marvin is probably a sign we aren't trading Jefferson. We have all the wings we need and we have 3 PG's.

Our roster is

Mo, Earl, Jamall
Hayward, Burks, Murphy
Marvin, Carroll
Favors, Millsap, Evans
Jefferson, Kanter

That's 13 players, 1 has to be on the inactive roster (probably Murphy). I could us adding an additional big man, but that is the only move I could see happening.

This is 95% joking around, but 5% real: Al + Paul + future pick for DH. In the scenario I've dreamed up where we get Dwight (albeit for 1 year) we got him because Orlando wanted a decent haul, but more than anything they wanted to spite Dwight and send him to the last place he'd want to go.
