    Honestly, I'm not opposed to trading Rudy, Joel, Blake, and Outlaw, but Iggy isn't the guy I was envisioning and Brand is a waste of space. I don't think he would embrace a backup roll at all.

    Also, as much as I'm excited about Oden, I believe he still has some kinks to work out (especially in the foul department). We need Joel for at least another year. Once Greg gets comfortable, I could see trading Joel. Unless, we add another center in the trade.

    I know Stephen Jackson has been a topic of debate here.

    I would deal Webster, Blake, and Joel for Jackson, Turiaf, and Wright.

    And then I would deal Outlaw and Bayless to Memphis for Conley.

    Miller/Conley/Mills
    Roy/Rudy
    Jackson/Batum
    Aldridge/Wright
    Oden/Turiaf

    Philly only does it if LMA, Roy or Oden are involved.


    There aren't that many teams not named the Grizzlies that are willing to accept a bunch of decent players for their best player.

    No combination of Portland's role players would add up to a single Andre I for Philly.

    It completely depends on Philly's financial situation. They're obviously being cheap because they let Andre Miller walk, and he was the engine of that team. Teams make lopsided trades for monetary reasons, which can be so they can clear cap space for FAs, or simply because they're cheap or in deep financial shit. It's naive to assume that only talent is at issue or that only the Grizzlies' owner is a cheapskate.

    [Edit: and on that note:

    Fair enough - I like that trade. BUT:
    1. don't hijack the Iggy thread, man, and
    2. I've read multiple reports that everyone's asking for Turiaf in their Jackson offers and the Warriors refuse to give him up.

    I guess I could see that. Turiaf is solid, but they get Joel.

    These numbers don't match up but we have talked about Chris Paul. Who in here thinks including Joel P in a package that includes Andre, Rudy and Jerryd get's us closer to acquiring him?

    I haven't wanted Iggy ever since he got that outrageous contract, plus him, Andre, and Brandon is a poor shooting backcourt.

    Interesting. But if we're looking at future SF's why not try to pry away Anthony Randolph? Golden State, according to their beat writer, could have a fire sale this season. He's also 6-years younger and already produces in the playing time he's given. But the catch is he's only available if we take Jackson off their hands.

    We'd have three 7-footers in the frontcourt as well. The possibilities!

    Oh yeah, they would definitely do that. Then you guys can go get Lebron, and you'd be ahead of the game.

    Are you kidding me, There's no way I'm trading Rudy for Lebron, he's way too valuable and he has tons of upside ... :wink:
