This Week's Asinine Trade Thread, February 12-20

PrintSince we are now officially about two months into the new season, and the last one was a gas, I thought it was a good time to bring back this baby for this week. Since next month is the deadline, I will start things off with a deal that is truly, truly asinine, and has about as much chance of happening as a sequel to "Gigli".
SAC Gets:
PF Josh Smith
SF Metta World Peace
ORL Gets:
C/PF Andrew Bynum
PF/C Jason Thompson
LAL Gets:
SF/SG John Salmons
PG Kirk Hinrich
ATL Gets:
PF/C Pau Gasol
PF JJ Hickson
Conditional Sacramento pick
WHY: SAC does this trade for 2 reasons: 1, to get rid of that Salmons contract. 2., to get a fantastic PF that can project to be a starter for them for at least two more years to come. Metta and the pick are the cost of getting Smith, but isn't it worth it?
LAL does this trade for the obvious reasons- they get Howard, a true backup PG, and at least $8.1m in cap room to throw at a PF of their choosing (Humphries?) in the offseason. The painful part comes in them taking on that Salmons contract, but it's the Lakers- money ain't much of an issue. Losing Bynum AND Gasol hurts, but again, the cap room may be enough to entice them.Their starting 5 becomes: Howard/Murphy/Barnes/Fisher/Bryant, with Salmons and Hinrich as their new options on an improved bench.
ORL does this deal to get young talented pieces in Thompson and Bynum, with Goudelock becoming a nice affordable backup PG for them to move Duhon with Turkoglu or another piece later. There would likely need to be a pick included here as well, but seems like about what they could do, considering how much Howard claims he wants to dictate his destination.
ATL does this deal to get better depth now and an incredible piece to put alongside Collins or Horford once healthy. The pick is the ultimate sweetener here- that allows them to pick between 5-10 and get a true building block. Their starting five would become Horford/Gasol/Williams/Teague/Johnson, with Ivan Johnson, McGrady, Radmanovic, and Hickson on the bench.
So in the end, the Kings new starting five, pending another deal (my pick would be signing a long-time Petrie target, like Aaron Brooks or Leon Powe), would be:
C: Cousins
PF: Smith
SF: World Peace
PG: Evans
SG: Thornton
-------------
6: Brooks, PG or Powe, PF/C; Hayes, C/PF; Fredette, SG/PG; Thomas, PG; Greene, PF/SF; Garcia, SG/SF; Outlaw, SF; Honeycutt, SF; Whiteside, C
Annnnnd with that insane and never-gonna-happen deal, any other ideas and thoughts welcome.

Any trade that lands Sac- Iggy, J Smith, Granger
Gets My stamp of approval. At this stage not sure what metta offers us, and no I won’t succumb to the typical “he’ll mess up our chemistry, or locker room whatever”, cause that’s not his MO anymore nor has it been for awhile. But besides Decent D and a veteran presence, I mean I guess he’s somewhat a
"Upgrade"to our 3 and that’s not saying much.
But J smooth is involved in this trade so I’ll take metta for it

I honestly believe it's going to take that.
Us landing one of those guys will mean trading Tyreke or Cousins, OR taking on a “problem”/contract issue for another team. If Metta is the worst we have to deal with, I can live with that. I actually think he might be a nice mentor for this team, considering how he just might relish being a starter again. And our fans were good to him.

I think the prototypical trade for Kings in terms of what we give up is..
Salmons and Hickson / Cisco for

JT/Salmons/JJ for Smith/Metta
Worth it for me, I think. The hardest thing to trade was the pick. I honestly believe us picking Moultrie, Jones, or another could provide the second coming of JT anyways. We’re getting a guy that does a ton of the things we need- bona-fide blocker, good shot, fantastic rebounder. He has periods of mental lapses, sure, but he’s ready NOW. I think JT is great, but he’s not Smith. And I would take the Metta for Salmons/JJ deal all day long- so long as Smith was a piece of it as well.

I think there is one other way to get one of those guys...
To win a top pick in the 2012 draft…
We can't trade a first round conditional pick
Because we already have a conditional pick out to Cleveland.
shhh keep it on the down low
besides thats what makes it assinine
35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.

I think we're fleecing those guys if we can give up Salmons and JJ for Josh Smith.
I’d be sad to see Thompson go, but as someone who has personally met and played with Smith I’d be beyond excited to have him on our team.
The thing about camping is... Its intense.

At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
I've kind of warmed up to the Rondo for Reke trade
I love Reke & he might end up better than Rondo in the long run but Rondo might be better for this team.
Reke is a special player that needs a certain type of team built around him. I’m not sure Petrie has the know-how anymore to do that. Ainge can probably do a better job.
Rondo can probably make any team better. Him & DMC can be a force.
Ainge can start the rebuild in Boston around Reke. There has been rumors that if Boston is blown up Rondo wouldn’t be part of the rebuild.
Trade Rondo & Pierce for Reke, Jimmer, JJ, & Cisco.

MT23/Salmons
Pierce/Green/Outlaw

i dont think the celtics would trade rondo for reke.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Is there a reason?
I’m going by all the rumors over the past few years that the Celtics are not opposed to trading Rondo. In fact there has been many rumors they have shopped him. Including the rumor they were willing to trade him for our pick which ended up being Reke.
Now those are all just rumors but usually where there’s smoke there’s fire. If the Celtics free fall they could be looking to rebuild(and have said they would blow it up if that happens)
Rondo is better than Reke right now but Reke has the potential to be better or at least as good. Maybe you wouldn’t trade Rondo for Reke but the Celtics might if the Celtics get bounced in the first round.

Correct.
Ainge talked about trading Rondo for Chris Paul.
That is a little different.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
And I wouldn't trade Rondo for Paul
Trading Rondo would mean the end of the Celtics run. Why would they trade him for a veteran with bad knees who was at the end of his contract? Reke is better for a rebuilding team than Paul all day.

I'd trade Rondo for Paul seven days a week

And that goes extra for Reke, much as I love him.
Sacramento Kings - helping feed NBA fans across the country since 2011
My point is trading Rondo for Reke would not be a stretch depending on the circumstances
NO just traded Paul for basically Eric Gordon(3rd best player on a winning team IMO)
Utah trade D-Will for Devin Harris(bleh!) & Derrick Favors(very meh so far, might not have any drive)
Those ARE your 2 best PGs in the league & that’s all they got because that’s the circumstances those teams were in. I could see Boston being in that type of circumstance by seasons end & I’d think they’d be thrilled to get a former ROY with multiple all-star potential that can already get you 18-5-5 every single night.

They traded Paul for a lot more than just Eric Gordon
And Eric Gordon scored 22 points per game pretty efficiently last year. He’s a future all-star that had more value than Tyreke before his injury.
Kinda disagree on the "future all-star" point
Could he be an all-star? Sure in the right situation. Mo Williams was an all-star playing with Lebron on a 60 win team but players like Gordon are a dime a dozen to me. Jason Richardson, Kevin Martin, Marcus Thornton, Jamal Crawford(in his prime) type player.
Gordon + BG = bad team
CP3 + BG = top 4 in the west
by Allbenji on Feb 14, 2012 11:15 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Those guys are all one-dimensional scorers - Eric Gordon is a very good all-round player
He passes, he rebounds, and he plays solid defense. CP3 is a top 5 player in the world, so no, Eric Gordon is not nearly on that level. But he’s already a much better player than any of the guys you just listed, and he’s still young and improving.
Young & improving?
Umm he is in his 4th year. Don’t you know if you’re not an all-star in your 3rd year you will never get better & you should be traded? Duh!

what say you
through JJ Hickson into the Evans for Rondo deal, would that get it done?
I posted this trade before but im posting it again
Because I think its a good, debatable trade that makes all parties better. Reke, Salmons, JT for Paul Millsap, Devin Harris, Alec Burks, 1st rd pick. Utah has GSs top 7 pick and their own this year. I like a Reke for Rondo trade the most, Reke/Salmons/JT for Rondo/Oneill. Then Boston should turn around and trade Ray Allen for Mo Williams. The Kings need to trade away Salmons.
by Chent on Feb 13, 2012 9:44 AM PST via mobile reply actions
The Kings need to amnesty Salmons at the end of the season
There’s just no way they can trade him unless they give up a valuable asset to pay another team to take him – this would be the type of trade that would make most of us cringe. All we can do is hope the Malindas can afford to pay him to go away.
Millsap
I’m interested in acquiring Millsap, but not ready to give up on Tyreke. Kid is only 22 and has the second highest PER on the team. Don’t need to give up Tyreke or any other prospect just to get rid of Salmons’ contract either with the new amnesty provision.
not a Tyreke hater, but he has the most value besides Cousins, so
Tyreke for Paul George/D Collison. Tyreke would fit perfectly with Indianas team in my opinion, you’ve got a sf that loves to shoot 3s, George Hill can be very good playig off of Reke imo, D West is a great mid range shooter and leader, Collison/George are two young pieces who I think can fit very good on this team. Collison and Thornton played very good off of each other when they were in NO together.
by Chent on Feb 13, 2012 9:59 AM PST via mobile reply actions
Good suggestion.
As a Kings fan, it’s hard not to come up with trades lopsided in the Kings’ favor. With this trade, both sides would wince a bit at what they’re giving up, but be intrigued by the possibilities of what they’re getting. I’m not even sure I’d do it if offered, but it seems like a reasonably well-thought-out, balanced suggestion.
The idea that nobody wants anything we have after Tyreke, Cousins, and
maybe JT makes me realize how awful this roster is. Seriously, as I was messing with the trade machine I found myself repeatedly asking myself “way would team a trade player b for a package of Hickson, Garcia, and Thomas?”
Thats why i always think of trade ideas involving Tyreke
Its sad but the truth, we do have young players who another team might want to take a chance on but the reality is if we want a little extra value in a return I think Tyreke is the 1 to go. MT23, Jimmer, JT are the only other players I think a team wouldn’t mind aquiring but wont overpay for.
by Chent on Feb 13, 2012 1:37 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
What are you talking about?
Everyone wants Cisco’s leadership and intangible…
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Sadly true
Except that Marcus Thornton is pretty good, and there’s still hope that Jimmer eventually develops into a useful player. Beyond those guys all we have is this year’s draft pick, spare parts, and cap space. Looking at this roster, it’s pretty unlikely a trade makes the team better this year, but hopefully the draft adds a talented young player and a veteran free agent can be lured to town in the offseason.
Would you move Thomas?
If so, I think we have more pieces than you think. A lot of contenders would kill for a guy like Thomas right now- an affordable, spark-plug option that is signed for cheap over three years. IT, JJ, JT, our pick, and Jimmer, with obviously DMC and Cousins, we could be in a few conversations over the next month.
by KevinSalvadori on Feb 13, 2012 7:00 PM PST up reply actions
I'm really impressed by Thomas' play so far, and I'm glad to have found him at the end of the 2nd round
but he’s not really worth much just yet. If he keeps up this level of play all season then that may change, but right now, IT falls under the spare parts category. No team would give the Kings a valuable player for him right now.
I agree, but...
…I think he provides an intriguing piece for a team with a couple of PGs of starting caliber they’re trying to make fit (CLE, DEN, CHA, HOU, TOR) but looking to deal, still needing a backup. If it were me, I’d float a proposal for Augustin or Sessions. CLE wants picks or young bigs to allow them to sell high on Varejao. CHA wants to find a team that can take on additional money from a bad contract and provide nice role players in return. Failing that, DEN would trade Miller for IT and Hickson at this stage just to free up money for Chandler.
I have no idea what the price would be on Calderon, but h has zilch defense and maybe isn’t exactly what we need. I like him, but I feel like Augustin, Sessions, or Miller would fit better. I’d fish for Miller, finding a way to acquire Smith from ATL as well in a deal (Hinrich to LAL, as mentioned above, with Salmons and Howard; Smith to Kings, etc, getting us Hedo as well). My pick for Miller would be Thomas and Hickson for ’Dre. Kings would get 7.6m of relief in offseason.
by KevinSalvadori on Feb 13, 2012 8:02 PM PST up reply actions
Hickson has been less than useless this season
A few teams would probably take a flyer on Hickson or IT for a second-rounder or something along those lines (basically for free), but there’s just no way they can be traded for any player with real value, like Augustin or Andre Miller. They are at best a very minor throw-in that could be used to sweeten a deal where we sent out a player that another team actually valued. And like I said above, we really only have four players that other teams might covet, plus possibly JT to a lesser extent.
I agree.
Roster doesn’t pack much punch. On the other hand, it would be worse to have a roster full of OVERPRICED pieces no one wants (Charlotte, NOH, to a point, even Dallas). The only benefit we have is young-ish pieces at a reasonable price with some upside yet, and the ability to take on salary to get a player we want.

John Salmons to China for Wilson Chandler.

John Salmons to anywhere for anyone
If you can dump that contract without having to use our amnesty, do it.
If someone else is going to do the Trade Thread
It would be a good idea to include the trade machine link (not that many don’t ignore it anyway) to keep out some of the actually impossible trades.

IT+Hickson for Andre Miller
With Nene out hurt and Miller whining about PT, IT attracts them as an able backup. We get a possible starter and move ’Reke to his natural position, SG. Cut 7.8m for offseason as well, and get a veteran presence.
Wishful thinking and Paul Millsap
Nearly traded last summer to Phoenix, the Jazz are in full-rebuild mode now and can sell relatively high on Millsap, thus allowing Favors, Kanter and even Jeremy Evans to see more playing time.
In March, I’d offer them Thornton, Hickson and maybe Whiteside. I’d even do that AND take on Raja Bell’s salary. Since we’re dealing in hypotheticals here, I’d move Salmons to the 2 for the rest of the season and see if he dramatically improves. If not, amnesty him this summer. Start Greene at the 3 for the rest of the year and give him at least 25 MPG minimum. If he isn’t consistent then you simply don’t offer him the qualifying offer this summer.
Also, depending on how well he performs the rest of the season, I’d consider making Jeremy Lin a back-loaded offer that the Knicks cannot match. Not unlike what the Blazers did in signing Wes Matthews away from Utah. Probably harder to accomplish under the new CBA, but worth a try. If not Lin, then maybe Nic Batum. If the Kings were to also use their lottery selection on a SF such as Gilchrist-Kidd or Barnes, here’s what next year’s depth chart could look like:
1 – Lin / Thomas
2 – Evans / Fredette / Bell / Garcia
3 – Barnes / Honeycutt / Outlaw
4 – Millsap / Thompson
5 – Cousins / Hayes
Summary: Lin > Thornton; Barnes > Salmons; Millsap > Hickson
Tyreke, Fredette and Hickson for Wall and Vesely
I think John Wall is the best chance for the Kings to resign DMC. Its time to invest in the star that is showing growth improving.
Vesely won't be a consistent producer for 3 more years at least.
The kid is r a w.

I know it's "crazy" but I'm throwing it out there again....
Tyreke and JT (if you can get them to take Hickson instead of JT that’s fine) for Kaman and one of the Hornet’s 1st rd picks. Kings will then have two 1st rd picks, one to pick up Quincy Miller (or some other SF they’d prefer), and the other pick to go after Brad Beal (or Lamb or Rivers or some other SG they’d prefer).
If the above proposal isn’t possible, I would propose putting together a Jimmer/Hickson “depth” package to obtain a low 1st rd pick.

Deal withe the Lakers
Pau Gasol for Thorton, Thompson, Hickson and 1st rd pick in 2013.
Why the Lakers do it: They need another guard that can score besides Kobe. They also get two servicable PF’s to go alongside of Bynum and a 1st rd pick next year.
Why the Kings do it: Pau is awesome and him and Cousins would be awesome together

Two Deals, three moves=playoffs?
First, deal Garcia, Isaiah Thomas, and Hickson to Toronto for Calderon. Deal saves TOR $1m and gives them a 2.2m expiring.
Next, deal Salmons, Thompson, and Honeycutt to New Orleans for Emeka Okafor and their 2nd rd pick next year. Deal gets NOH an expiring (3.0m) and provides them a cheap backup SF. Their lineup would become Kaman, Ayon, Ariza/Salmons, Jack, and Belinelli, with a bench of Landry, Salmons, Thompson, Henry, Vazquez, Summers, and Aminu. Not bad with a team heading into a nice draft with 2 lottery picks.
Next move: sign a backup PG or PF, just to ride out the year. Let’s say Leon Powe.
Summer move: sign Andrei Kirilenko, Nick Batum, or a newly fit Boris Diaw.
New Team:
1: Calderon/Fredette
2: Evans/Thornton
3: Kirilenko/Greene/Outlaw
4: Okafor/Powe/Draft Pick? (Henson?)
5: Cousins/Hayes/Whiteside
I love the idea of picking up Calderon.
However, he is playing REALLY well and as long as Bayless cant stay healthy he isnt going anywhere.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
if the Kings trade for another 1sr rd pick like around 29
Can we substitute that to Cleveland instead of our future pick? That would be considered our first rd pick right? Another trade I’ve thought of is Salmons/JJ hickson for Tyrus Thomas. Charlotte needs all the help they can get and Tyrus Thomas is basically just a defensive specialist , something we could use. Salmons might actually be able to be more of a contributer with more touches and shots in Charlotte, JJ Hickson is better than DJ White and they can test him out before RFA.

Only problem
Is they’re not SF’s!6’6" Salmon & 6’7"Garcia are both SG’s always have been SG`s except in Sacramento!
Should Kings trade for Chase Budinger?
Budinger has decent per-minute production scoring-wise, and can hit the trey.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/budinch01.html
Sure if they are willing to do this:
Budinger and Patterson for Hickson and Donte
Founder of Isaiah as Mogwai..
They might.
Another team that can use cheap bigs and Donte’s versatility. And the two expirings. That said, Budinger wouldn’t be my first pick. He’d be great off the bench though. Exactly the type of reserve we’d need.

I would honestly take either one of the 3 SF's POR currently has in Batum, Wallace, or Mathews
Now that Batum is starting this week and putting up big numbers, he is putting himself in a position to make a lot of money next year. I would love to offer Batum a big contract POR has no chance to match and then trade our top 5 pick and Thorton/Thompson for a nice PF/C like Josh Smith, Pau Gasol, Paul Millsap, Noah, Ibaka. The only reason I would include Thorton is because I think we could get OJ Mayo next year for a similar price and he is MT23 with better defense and playmaking skills. I would love a starting lienup next year of..
OJ Mayo
Tyreke
Batum
DMC
Pau/Smith/Millsap/Noah
With a bench of… Jimmer, IT, Hayes, Hickson, Honeycutt
Any Chance we could get/want Gasol...
…as part of a Howard to LAL deal, IF it involved us not getting rid of DMC, Tyreke, or Jimmer?
I think it could add what we need, and set us up nicely. Draft a solid player in the draft (Barnes, Kidd-Gilchrist, Moultrie, or Robinson), sign an FA SF, and that could be a solid team.
C: Cousins
PF: Gasol
SF: Kirilenko/Batum
PG: Thomas
SG: Evans
-——————
BENCH Rotation: Thornton, Hayes, Fredette, New Draftee, Outlaw/Greene/Honeycutt.
Very competitive, and a nice core for the next 2-4 years, at least.
I don't venture over to the Asinine Trade thread very often.
I had to chuckle at the elaborate and convoluted trade you came up with to get rid of Salmons. It made me wonder if Petrie is spending far more hours coming up with trade ideas to get rid of him than the one to land him?
