DO NOT TRADE ANDRE MILLER!!!!!!!!

Hasoos what you say makes sense except that the majority of the time the players that are being offered in a trade at the deadline are not long term difference makers. If you are a team that is close, you can often find a vet that will take you over the hump that year, or maybe the next. But we are on the opposite end of the trade. So what team needs a Vet PG or a Vet center THIS YEAR that will give us young pieces to the puzzle?

Chicago ( maybe if Noah was not coming back) Atlanta? OKC, San Antonio, Memphis?

 

While that is often true, it doesn't mean that can't be the case here. It all depends on what the GM's goals are when they go out seeking a trade in the first place. Are a lot of teams looking for a fix so they can be better this year? Yep. But many of them are going to recognize they need to build towards the future because this year is a bust, and make the best deal they can.

 

Yeah but I thought we were talking about Miller and Camby. Not sure anyone would trade for them for the "future". That is why I was limiting it to teams who need help now. In any event trading them IMO will not bring anything back unless someone is desperate to make a move. Unless you are strictly thinking that their ending contracts are huge for some team.

 

No I think those players are useful to many playoff contenders. Camby is useful to every playoff contending team that is out there. Miller would be useful to many of those teams, but not all of them. He has to be a fit. Joel provides meat off the bench and another 5 fouls to throw at a Shaq or Dwight Howard. They all have their uses. But the deal has to make sense for both teams.

Nobody has even fathomed the unthinkable yet either. What if Cho happens to find a taker for Brandon? Do I think it will happen? Nope. But I have seen weirder stuff happen.

 

Tell ya what? If Dre gives us a 13 and 10 game tonight against arguably the best PG in the game we keep Dre and like it for another year! Fair enough?
