I'm just throwing these out there because I was bored and was playing the the trade machine. I like the idea thats been thrown out about trading Kaman for Hinrich. I would definitely do this if we were able to move Baron. I was thinking up possibilities when I came up with Baron for Prince straight up. I highly doubt Detroit would ever consider this but I love Prince and his D. We could move Al to the bench where he'd still get plenty of touches but he wouldn't have to worry about defending the starting wings of the league. I realize we would be short a center but we would have a willing passer and playmaker in Hinrich, who can also shoot very well. We would also have SF depth which we lack and gain a very good defender in Prince. The salaries match up and we would have better balance on the roster as far as offense/defense. We could then have more options for our draft pick. We could take Rubio to back up or start, griffin to back up Randolph, or a center like Thabeet to back up Camby. Our roster would look like this:

Hinrich/Taylor/Rubio*
Gordon/R. Davis/Henderson*
Prince/Thornton/Novak/DeRozen*
Randolph/Skinner/Novak/Griffin*
Camby/DJ/Thabeet*

*possibly draft picks for each position depending on our draft position


With that roster, without draft picks we look pretty solid and balanced. Then we wouldn't have such a hole other than center where we would NEED to have a certain player in the draft. It's great to get Griffin or Rubio, but if we fall we could pick for any of the 5 positions and be ok. What do you guys think?

Not sure if this has been tossed out there yet. How about trading Camby to the Knicks in a sign and trade for David Lee?

Lee is a energy type of player that we need and can really get out and run and grab boards. The Knicks may not resign him so they can have more cap space in 2010. In the mean time the Knicks get a guy that would help them be more competitive next year.

Maybe the Cavs sweep of the Pistons will turn out to help the Clippers. I like the idea of trading Zach if we get Griffin. The David Lee trade would be good if we don't end up with Griffin. I really wouldn't want to trade Camby because of his true professional attitude with the Clippers but the team getting younger is more important.

Wonder if the Spurs will shake up their roster with their first round exit?

Another new thread.....you kidding me. f**k man just let it go. Can we cast a vote to ban this. Seriously this is getting ridiculous.

i agree 100%Baron is franchise player and this aint a bad thread

i agree 100%Baron is franchise player and this aint a bad thread

LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! LIIIIIFEEEEEEEEE!!!

It's the same damn s**t he posts everywhere else. He now just has has own "special" thread to showcase the same point.

Did we really need a whole new thread to say Baron is awesome and Dunleavy needs to be fired?

thanks man....

1000% percent our franchise

yes we do cause everyone seems to be on trading baron

and im new here and have diffrent points in why to keep him

please just go with number 5ity and get a life and dont lets this bother u so much

Yeah that franchise player that is one dimensional. The franchise player we overpaid for. Yeah this guy definitely makes us better. We were screwed until we won the number 1 pick. Baron wasn't taking us anywhere next season. That's not to say he useless but he's limited to how far he can take a team. You play the way the Suns or Warriors play and everyone looks good. Number are inflated like crazy. Why play defense when all you have to do is have more shot attempts than the other team.

So because you're new you need to make a thread about a point you made in 3 other threads? Believe me you've made yourself know as you've read all the backlash toward you lol.

Telling me to get a life or ignore this thread....

"yes we do cause everyone seems to be on trading baron
and im new here and have diffrent points in why to keep him"

You're being hypocritical. You can't let go the fact that some people feel we need to trade Baron if the right trade comes along so you make a new thread.

Take your own advise and to quote you "get a life and dont lets this bother u so much"

Look I understand Duns methods of running the offense are a bit overwhelming but if Baron is the player you're making him out to be then shouldn't it not have effected him the way it did. So it's not his fault that 25 games into the season and s**t hit the fan? He and Dun hold the most responsibility for the season we had. He was brought in to be a savior and Dan Dickau and Brevin Knight produced a more solid offense on a nightly basis. I mean he we bad from the beginning. He had his moments but even in those moments he was distributing the ball well but that was it. He couldn't score to save his life (which is what he lives for) and his defense left something to be desired. A franchise player doesn't have a season like that. He's shown he can't lead this team.

But he's going to be here to start next season so we'll all get to see his second coming. If Blake can't make him a better player something is wrong.

wow seriously man.....get a life

keeping baron deserves its own thread.....

im not being hypocritical because if u actually wrote something educational maybe id reply correctly but u just seem to bitch about everything

lol backlash towards me cause i usually prove EVERYONE WRONG

and theres only what 5-6 of u....

man get a life.....

Read this trade on another forum......I kind of like it but would rather go for a little higher pick if we were trading kaman before the draft.

Mavs get Kaman
Blazers get Jason Terry
Clippers get Steve Blake (Solid backup PG), Travis Outlaw (Solid backup SF), and then one or both of the #22 pick (from dallas) and #24 pick (from portland)

I kind of like it. Mavs get a really solid center that helps with the scoring more so than Dampier. Portland would need to start Bayless or find another PG, but get a really good scorer for them off the bench. We get what I stated above and get some first rounders than are decent.

Only problem- we trade 1 player and essentially get back 4 (2 from portland and 2 draft picks) which means we have a pretty full roster.

dream situation (but impossible): shane battier

man would chuancy look good in red white and blue

I'd rather do Kaman for Terry, rather then getting Blake/Outlaw

If we trade Kaman to Dallas why not just trade for Josh Howard. He would solve our backup SF role, maybe Thorton and Howard could share the starting SF role depending on the opposing team.

i agree 100%Baron is franchise player and this aint a bad thread

Playing around with the trade machine, I only found 1 deal we could do this off season without taking bad contracts or getting help. Trading Zach straight up for Jefferson. I say lets do it.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine

we do the above trade ^^^(the link i just posted). dallas would love to do it for a win now situation, and it helps us get rid of kaman and baron.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine

^^^ and we do this trade to get rid of randolph, and along with darko and marko, we will recieve their second overall pick, and along with zachory, we will include minnys future first round pick.


with both of these trades, we also get a couple of bigs that woul love to come off the bench in darko and dampier. we would also make room for griffin, and make room for rubio,which we would draft with the 2nd overall pick that we recieved from memphis.

Links don't work dude, since the trade checker is a flash object, it wont save your inputs. You're going to have to take a screen-shot or type it out.
