Trade Drawer Fantasies Overflow - 2/18

by appel82 on Feb 18, 2009 11:33 AM PST

Dave's post really percolated the idea of coming up with trades not because they could realistically happen, but because you'd love for them to happen.

I usually hate trade talk but Dave's post today really got me feeling like trying out ye olde trade machine.

I've turned to the darkside.

Zeusdammit!!! I see why so many of you think your the bee's knees when you come up with a trade you like. I came up with a couple that are not even reasonable, but I feel like Picasso.

Right now every post is about trades, and trade rumors, things that could actually happen.

Please share with me some fantastic ideas that won't happen, but could.

Why do we want David Lee to play 20 minutes a game for 30 games and then either pay him way too much this summer or let him walk?

My HDTV is a torrented game that I can watch lag-free :(

Let LaMarcus keep the headband!

We don’t want him to play 20 minutes a game. We play him 30 minutes a game, with LA moving to C or SF for 10 minutes a game, and Trout gone for salmons as our new starting SF.

New 2-Deep Lineup with trades for Lee and Salmons

Oden/Pryz
LA/Lee
Salmons/Batum
Roy/Rudy
Blake/Bayless

and if Martell ever comes back….well, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. I think it means Batum is relegated back to the end of the bench.

I need this to happen.

To Portland: Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Dooling, Najera

To New Jersey: Luke Ridnour

To Bucks: Raef, Trout, Sergio

hmmm...re: Najera I'd be trying out the phrase "he's a punk, but he's OUR punk!"

Hit it. Yes he did. Ohhhh yeah.

Najera would be a nice backup PF.

He and Joel would gobble up every rebound!

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

with that trade...

we would become the Spanish national team.

by beam_us_up_scottie on Feb 18, 2009 12:28 PM PST reply actions

Well, minus Sergio

Plus, is Najera actually from Spain or Mexico? I thought it was the latter.

by RecordTOs on Feb 18, 2009 1:12 PM PST up reply actions

He is from Mexico or another central american nation

Not spain

This is what Lucas would do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0aPkIE2qK0

He is from Mexico

Since when do we need to ponder to froth? - jscot

i think he's talking about my trade in the body of my post

where we aquire calderon, both gasols, and bosh, whilst keeping sergio and rudy.

A bulls dream that includes Blazers

CHI: Bosh, Rudy, Miller
TOR: Raef & Tyrus
POR: Kirk & Salmons
SAC: Gooden & Noce

Raptors aren’t giving up Bosh

by Jesse07 on Feb 18, 2009 12:40 PM PST reply actions

Yeah, but the Blazers aren't giving up Rudy for Salmons or RLEC for Kirk

There is a rumor on RealGM this deal is on the table

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=dlfh73

Also includes the rights to Petteri and draft picks from our side. Deal is hanging on a few things and could go either way.

Brandon is one of those quiet assassins. - Chris Paul

The ultimate "will never happen" trade

Obviously, I’ve abandoned all sense of realism here, so if you define “could happen” to mean another team might possibly consider this, my trade doesn’t qualify. But if you define “could happen” to mean the trade doesn’t violate the CBA, well then we have a winner.

This trade addresses our two primary weaknesses in the starting lineup and upgrades us at center (allowing Oden to come off the bench):
