    Here is a short list of players that may have some value, but they don't fit their team's timeline. If I were GM of these teams, I'd seriously consider trading them...

    Team (record): Player, age (salaries starting THIS year)

    Atlanta (2-9): Kent Bazemore, 28, (16, 18, 19). Miles Plumlee, 29, (12.5, 12.5, 12.5).
    Chicago (2-6): RoLo, 29, (14, 14).
    Cleveland (4-6): K. Love (22, 24, 26). JR Smith, 32, (14, 15, 16)
    Brooklyn (4-6): Demarre Carroll, 31 (15, 15).
    Dallas (1-10): Wes Matthews, 31 (18, 19).
    Sacramento (1-8): George Hill, 31 (20, 19, 18).
    Phoenix (4-7): Tyson Chandler, 35 (13, 14), Jared Dudley, 32 (10, 10).

    Notes:
    When LBJ leaves next year, Cleveland will literally be the worst team in the league in terms of long term health - they have no one decent under 27. If they are not playing well at the deadline, they should jettison Love.

    Sac made a mistake with the Hill contract - 3 years is just too long, and the price is too high, too.


    So, do you have any interest in any of these players? If I'm these teams, I'm looking for young players and/or draft picks.

    Z-bo should be on this list.
    Not interested in him in a blazer uni. But he's the only one on Sac playing well if I remember correctly.
    Everyone else sucks ass.

    Of that list, Rolo is about the only one who would help.

    Secretly hoping the Pistons start sucking again and Tobias Harris becomes available. He’s playing really well so far, shooting 45% from three and averaging 19 pts 5 boards and 3 assists.

    It’s just so obvious we need another scorer at forward. I’d be willing to part with a pick and anyone outside the big 3 if it lands us Harris or another difference maker at the 3.

    Good question, the only two players on the team I wouldn’t trade is Lillard and Nurkic.

    I like rolo but don't see him fitting with Davis, unless we're trading him in this scenario? I like the idea of a Monroe/Davis frontcourt, shit I'd even be intrigued by Okafor/Davis.

    I think Rolo is way too slow for our team now....he fits with Lamarcus

    Folks are trippin. We have the best backup Center in the league.

    Ed Davis.

    We need to re-sign him.

    Ed is too small most of the time. I love what he brings though. Ideally a good shooting C would be a perfect complement to Ed.
    Sounds like Meyers if he was any good.

    I don't think he fits well with our team as he has no shooting range but Julius Randle can be traded for a 1st round pick. There are several reports that he is not part of their future as they try to clear cap space. If he can be extended for something like 50/4 I prefer him to Vonleh and Ed.

    We should have moved for him when Orlando decided to dump him for nothing instead of keeping the money aside for a premium free agent we never signed. The ship has sailed now, Pistons are in the same position as we are in that they are not good enough to win consistently but not bad enough to have any reason to tank. Although this season so far they have been actually great, somehow despite losing Morris and KCP and only getting Bradley in they found better balance. It also helps that Drummond has been great.

    I actually don't think it would be that hard to improve his shooting. He could IMO develop into a fairly decent shooter.
