If mayo is there, ABSOLUTELY NOT to trading down. I just dont see any way he sticks until 6, unless two completely unknown euros or something jump out of nowhere onto the radar.

I think you should trade down in the draft when youre in a position where the guy you pick at 6 isnt going to help you THAT much more than someone at 10 or 11, and you can get extra things out of the deal...either unloading a contract, and/or getting extra picks/players.

Iverson & #20 for #6, Brevin, TT & Mobley

yamaneko

hahahaha. wow, that would be a trade of gasol/kwame esque proportions!

I disagree. The 6th pick overall is plenty fair for Iverson. Even if they give us #20.

yamaneko

I dont think for a 30 point scorer it is, not when youre getting a couple fairly bad contracts in return.

But who knows. weve seen some pretty bone headed trades of late.

I wonder if we can get a Maggette/Diaw+Atl pick swap done. I mean, Diaw would be perfect for Dunleavy and can back Elton/Al up at the 3/4.

100% agree with the above. Only problem is not enough minutes for thornton. Diaw is a prototypical dunleavvy player though.

Good defense
can play multiple positions
good passer
hustles on the boards
can hit the 3 when called upon.

Not neccessirily, I can still see Thornton get his minutes. Since Diaw has handles, we can have him slide down and play SG as well. And with Diaw, we can really run the high/low post offense, and can even run a simple triangle.


Another trade I'd look into would be Mobley/Future 2nd for Eric Snow and the Cavs pick.

Diaw would be a very expensive backup. If Diaw were to come to town, he'd likely be an every day starter for the money Sterling would be paying him.

yamaneko

Lets remember though that maggette for us was a bench guy and still got big minutes, only being able to play one position for the most part.

If diaw came off of the bench for us, i think he could easily play 33+ minutes a game due to all the positions he could play. Not sure if sterling would ok such a move though since hes in love with corey.
