If the Jazz trade AK ('s expiring) for Rip, they'd better be giving us picks too. No one wants Rip. No one wants that contract. They've been trying to straight up dump him for a long time and no one will bite.

The only way the Jazz should do it is if it's Bell and Memo. Bad contracts for bad contract.
 
Worst contract, 3 years 37+ mill remaining, Detroit kind of screwed themselves, trade Chauncey but keep overpaying Rip through 2012/2013. genius.
 
I think Memo and Raja are just terrible. I'd love for them to both be gone. Maybe we could just give them to Detroit?
 
Memo for Rip and nothing else. Rip could rip very soon. You also have to understand that there is a reason why the pistons would rather pay him millions then pay him. Rip could greatly help jump shooting off screens, and add a "name" to the roster. I see no other use for him.

Simple question to the author of this thread.... Have you looked at Rip's contract?

Indeed. I'd love to have Rip but not at his price. If he were allowed to renegotiate a contract after the trade that would be one thing. There is no way the Jazz can take on that type of payroll right now.
 
For that price I'd rather have Iguodola. Sixers have Turner and might be willing to move Iguodola for AK's expiring contract + Hayward or Evans. Doesnt make sense to give a 12-13 mil/yr contract to a 33-yr old wing on the downswing of his career, especially with the lockout looming. Maybe we can nab Speights from them too for the right price.

Rip Hamilton would have made sense 3-4 yrs back
 
The simple question you have to ask is, would this trade affect the final outcome of the season?

Not in the slightest.
 
Okur for Rip.

Called for this before. Just a couple million difference between their salaries this year and the next. And by the offseason Deron's contract runs out, Hamilton will be an expiring contract. Okur's broken down. With Rip starting, Bell could look better as his sub.

Not convinced with AK for Rip. Detroit would jump on an AK deal but it would probably be better just to let his contract expire if it's Rip. Preferably AK for a center if at all possible.

So there, Okur for Rip, AK for a C.

And yes, Iguodala over Rip but I don't think we really have that choice. It would take more to get Iggy and the buzz is Philly's keeping him and Brand as they're actually fighting for a playoffs spot.
 
How about Maggs and filler for Okur and Bell? I'm not sure why Milwaukee would do it but to be able to dump those two turds for Maggs would be pretty sweet.
 
Detroit isn't trading one broke down player on a 3 year contract for another even more broke down player on a 2 year deal.
 
I don't think the Jazz would do Memo straight up, because that would mean them taking on mor money. I just don't think they are willing to do that. Plus doesn't money have to match up.
