Well I thought I would create a thread for our trade rumors, potential trades, trade ideas, and trades around the league.

Some right now....
Reggie Evans to Minnesota, trade exception to Denver

Idea for some of our stuff

Wolves Trade:
Troy Hudson
Marko Jaric
Eddie Griffin

Memphis Trades:
Mike Miller
Brian Cardinal

McCants makes his way back....

PG-James/Foye/Wright
SG-Miller/McCants/Foye
SF-Hassell/Davis/Miller
PF-Garnett/Smith/Cardinal/Reed/Madsen
C-Blount/Evans/Madsen

You get the picture... We would have an awsome 2nd string line of guys.. I mean, I prefer Davis off the bench but Miller brings in a much needed shooter and so does McCants. Doubt that the Memphis Deal would go through though...But for everyone who has been here long enough, you know this is my favorite part.

i think we have to make a big splash. assuming their teams are bad, make a run for iverson or piece.

Uuh, KG and AI in same team, sweet... But that would mean getting rid of the young players, and then when KG and AI retire, what would Minnesota have? Because let's face it, we r not getting AI with Jaric, Hudson and Griffin for example. I wouldn't mind at all, if something like this would happen: James, Jaric, Griffin -> AI. But i don't think Sixers would accept this kind of deal

I think it will be interesting to see if Zach Randolph gets traded. The guy is playing better than anyone in the league right now, and if it continues he'll have an extremely high trade value. He's had some problems off the court, and with my beloved Trailblazers going through a make over of sorts they could try to move him.

As opposing fans what do you think a guy averaging close to 30 and 10 that plays average at best defense and makes a ton of money for many more years would get in a trade.

Who cares about what happens when KG retires. I'd like to win now. What would happen if KG did retire and we didn't make the move? Our team is going to be horrible when he leaves unless McHale gets lucky in th draft one more time (like he did with KG).

One guy I've been thinking about that I think we could possibly get is Rashard Lewis, because he wants a new contract and Seattle's ownership is cheap.

i agree with that we need to be aiming high in a trade, try and get another big time player here.
KG has had faith in the organization and i think it should be trying to win while hes here, we need a pierce, iverson, Jrich type player, its just a matter of what one of those teams would be willing to accept from us.
possible candidates is the easy part, trying to find a trade that would work and the other team would accept is the hard part.

i like the top trade, but i dont think miller is enough to push this team into contention.
something big is gonna happen in minny round the trade deadline i think... no idea what it will be, but should be interesting

[abwowang]

man i really want either pryzbilla or magloire.. they have so many big guys on that blazers squad.

also i read that Melvin ely is unhappy cause he just signed a one year contract and he is getting little playing time...

i like ely.

i understand we need a big scorer... but i think we also need another big guy that rebounds...
i think we should trade ricky davis for whoever the big scorer may be.. if the scorer is iverson.. i'd be willing to give up ricky and mike james.

KG and AI means winning right now. therefore if they wanted our 'future'.. like randy foye.. go for it. ricky and foye and jaric...

Yeah well, good point. But how on earth they will get an all-star, into the team with KG? 2 players doesn't make a team. I'm not saying that we wouldn't have nothing good left, but we certainly would lose atleast 3 good players. Though it would be nice to see what would happen if something like this would happen: AI -> James, Foye, Davis.

[the main event]

We don't need another scorrer.
Were not losing games cause we don't have Offensive tools.
James,KG,Davis,Blount. is all the Offense we NEED on the starting five in order to WIN games.
and don't tell me we don't have Offense on the bench in Foye,hudson,griffin,Smith and McCants(when healty again hopefully).
It's not that we don't have the Deffensive tools that we need either. Im telling you all-we do.
We do have deffensive skills on this team and we CAN become an EXCELLENT deffensive TEAM.

In my mind,and one Wolves vateran even sharpened this opinion of mine just yesterday-The problem is Casey.
Sorry to say,i believed in him,i wanted to give him a chance and always said to myself and thought he's got what it takes to get this team back into shape,into the winning ways. I don't believe in him any more.

Casey just doesn't manage this bunch of players well at all and i wish to heaven that a Ric Adelman will come on over soon.
Casey doesn't cut it and honestly i don't know why it is but it's a fact. He seems clueless and lost,i'm seek and tired of the "Experiments" he's doing with the Roster-Such that i completly don't understand-a la benching EG...a la not playing Foye from the start.... etc.

Moving players is not what we so desperately need - If anything,Move the Coach.

Our rebounding ability as a team is crap. So find a good big man who CAN rebound, 'nuff said.

We've got one. He's also a great blocker but he's not getting any PT.

Look,i know we could really improve if we would of had a Magloire or such but i don't think that that's why were lacking so hard,in any cretiria.

I probably overlooked this one, but I am saying about it as a teamwork.

That's exactly why i'm saying it's not about the players but it's about the game-plan.don't you feel the same? that with a better guiding,better coaching, those issues would have been taken care of?

[JuX]

I see nobody really boxing out the opponents, so I think they lack effort to make rebounds or so.
