One of my buddies who lives in Michigan texted me this afternoon saying he heard on the radio that the Pistons are highly interested in acquiring Mehmet Okur back. The Radio host also said that the deal will probably include Hamilton or a sign and trade deal with Prince or Stuckey.

I don't know about you guys but I like adding Stuckey or Prince at a good price to the Jazz roster. I looked online and Stuckey was averaging 25 ppg and 11+ assists with 3 turnovers his last 6-7 games. Prince is a sure upgrade over AK and that will ensure that they don't need to resign him at all.

Thoughts?

Can't do S&T's without a CBA.
Owners trying to get rid of S&T's
Prince is a UFA so an S&T with him doesn't even work.
Memo for Rip is so insane it's not worth thinking about.
I could go on.

Memo for Rip is a great deal.... For the Pistons.

You can sign and trade UFA. LeBron was signed and traded to the Heat...
 
I think Stuckey could really flourish i this system, I thought he was the ultimate Sloan player on a non Sloan team, back in the day. Okur for Rip and Stuckey should be a done deal. He'd even (given we don't trade harris) make me want to use the 12 pick on a non-Jimmer.

Stuckey is the ****... he's just been on a terrible team.
 
You can sign and trade UFA. Boozer was signed and traded to the Bulls....


I can see why the Pistons would be interested in Okur--final year partially covered by insurance. But they would be wanting to dump existing contracts of Hamilton, Villinueva, or Gordon. What do Jazz want with any of the Piston Players?

Ben Gordon might've been fun with Deron, Jason Maxiel is a cheaper, less effective Milsap. Hamilton is old, can't shoot 3's and showed his high character by how he treated his rookie coach last year...I don't want him anywhere near the rookies or Coach Corbin.

I would hate to see Okur leave, but I think KOC set the stage for it the other day....

I agree I think Stuckey is extremely similar to Dwyane Wade. He was getting to the line 10-13 times near the end of the season. I also think he would really flourish in this system.
 
I can virtually guarantee the Jazz won't trade for Ben Gordon. I don't see the Jazz trading for a contract that lasts past the 2013 season, and Gordon's goes through '14.

Hamilton has two years left, and it says 2012-2013 isn't guaranteed, but 9 million is guaranteed, so it wouldn't be in the best interest of any team to cut him and give him 9 mil.
 
did you just read a couple days ago that Pistons were going to give away the No.8 pick in order to get rid of Hamilton's contract? this is a much better deal for them and so it is not going to happen.
 
Stand corrected on Prince. Even under the old CBA, can't see why he would agree to sign with us unless we were overpaying for him. I'm not sure what Prince makes in the new CBA, but it's going to be well south of 10 million dollars.

Yeah, you can do sign and trades when they become free agents on July 1. However, the current CBA ends June 30. There won't be any free agent signings this off season until the new CBA is worked out. That also means this trade can't happen until the new CBA is worked out (which many are estimating could eat half the season).

Which is exactly what billy shelby meant when he said:
Can't do S&T's without a CBA.

AKA-this trade will never happen until the looming lockout is over.

Memo and #12 for Ben Gordon and #8?

Not no, but hell no. Gordon has FOUR years on his deal. Okur only has two left. I would rather eat Okur's two year contract and never have him play another game, than I would have Gordon have 4 sub-par years of 10 million dollar chucking.
