Trade ideas

Just a place to post trade ideas like...

Darius Miles and Travis Outlaw to Suns for
James Jones, Marcus Banks and Jalen Rose, (Real GM ID 3650535).

We get ride of Darius Miles (and his contract) who would do great in a uptempo offense and there is rumors of the Suns having their eye on Outlaw. Suns great rid of Banks who is their 3rd best PG and 2 other players who aren't playing that much.

Portland gets rid of Miles and while I like Outlaw he might be gone this summer. In Jones we get a 3 point scorer and Bank could be something good and Jalen Rose for cap relief.

Suns get ride of some salary cap that isn't doing anything, Banks, Rose, and with a owner who is willing to sell Sergio for money this might be the deciding factor. Most of Miles' contract this year is payed for because he is injured and he has one less year than Banks. In the long run the Sun would probably save money.

However, I don't know much about the Suns and whether this would be good idea for them. Also, the Suns probable wouldn't pull off this trade unless they started losing. But, otherwise I think it is a win, win.

Any more musing out there?

Initial reaction:

do it.

Stromile Swift aint that bad, aint that good either.
And Dahntye Jones is shooting 40% from behind the arc

2 out of 5

2 out of 5 for 3 pointers is 40%, but it's not something that should be relied on.

I might just do this

just to get rid of Darius. I love Outlaw, but im not sure so sure that the blazers are going to keep him (depends on who we draft)

Marcus Banks has been horrible for the Suns! they signed him last year and he hardly ever plays. Depending on what his and Jones contracts lenghts are i might do it

I'm not a big fan

of swift, and his 4 (5?) year deal, I would like to have Dahntay Jones because he is a pretty good defender and we could use that.

according to

realGM.com Swift has two years left after this one. But, do we want a underachiever on the Blazers?

Interest in Magloire?

The best thing about this whole situation is that now we know for sure that someone even has interest in Magloire. He has definetly not done his part to impress the rest of the league thus far, and I have been a little worried that no one would even want him (even with the expiring contract!)
While I am not a fan of the Swift trade, (attitude compatibility?) I do think this will generate some positive interest in Magloire around the rest of the league. The real question is who else are we willing to give up in a deal with Magloire. Who I say is available: Randolph, Outlaw, Dixon, Dickau, and LaFrentz.
