Would Trading Donyell Marshall be our best option to get a center? He makes only 4.5 Million. He is playing the best basketball of his career. His contract only has 2 years left. I dont want to Trade Donyell tho. I would like to play him at small forward. If we could get maybe like Brenden Haywood or Kwame Brown and Jaun Dixon would you pull the trigger? What about Trading Jalen Rose for a center? He Makes 12 or 13 Million tho. He isnt playing well this year. Has I think 3 year left. I cant think of anyone we could get for Rose that makes alot it would have to be a combination of players. What about Trading Alvin Williams for a Center? I know the Clippers are interested in him and they are loaded with Bigman. I heard rumors like Alvin for Wilcox. I heard Fizer for Jaric and Ely. What about Alvin, Palacio for Ely, Jaric, 2004 second rounder? Bosh and Vince are untouchable.
I'd say trade Mo Pete for a center. His contract is set to expire after this season anyways, many teams trying to clear cap room will be interested. How bout Mo Pete and Palacio for Jake Voshkul, a 2004 secound rounder and a 2005 first rounder? Sounds good to me.
i dont think we should trade donyell for a center, hes been too good to us. he'd be great trade bait, but hes too valuable a player. GG wont get rid of him, unless it brings back someone who's going to give us the numbers he has. he brings a double double almost every night. it would be crazy to get rid of that although jalen hasnt been playing good ball as a raptor, i think everyone knows he has good game within him, so its not a strech for him to go to another team and produce good numbers in a different system. with his contract we could get someone like theo ratliff, and thats exactly what we need. theo would be perfect, a defensive minded player would fit into oneill's system perfectly. someone like him or even dampier would be a nice addition. dampier would dominate in the ultra-small east.
As I've said many times, Donyell is averaging 17ppg and 10rpg as a Raptor, Glen would be crazy to trade him, hes the most consistant Raptor and hes a big reason why we've had some success since the trade. I realize you have to make sacrifices, but he'd be the wrong person to trade. Speaking of sacrifices even though hes been our most productive rotation player, I think its possible to get a decent big man for Mo Pete. Our last resort would be trading Jalen Rose, I wouldn't be mad, but I'd still like to keep him. I bet if we tried to get a big man like Ratliff, a C that plays a lot of minutes, we would have to consider trading him. I have a feeling that Glen won't do anything before the deadline, if Mo Pete continues to play decent ball I doubt he'll trade him. He has the attitude of "untouchables" that I think he won't trade players like Vince, Donyell, Alvin, Chris, or Jalen. This is a message to Raptor fans, don't get your hopes up because I doubt a deal will get done, Glen rarely pulls the trigger on trades - that or he doesn't offer much.
I don't think we should trade Donyell Marshall at all. He is playing great here and is putting up awesome numbers. Jalen Rose shouldn't be traded either. He hasn't played graet but he has to much talent to trade him. The best way to go is to trade Mo-Pete, Lamond Murray, Palacio, and Alvin Williams if we have to. I like Sam Dalenbet from the 76ers, he tall, big, and can score. The 76ers will trade him too. What do u think? How about these trades? Get: Sam Dalenbert 6'11'' 250lbs- 7ppg, 7rpg Give: Lamond Murray Get: Chris Wilcox Give: Alvin Williams
Dalembert, poor Sixers man, you keep trying to kill them. They're doing badly enough as it is, it'd give him more of a chance to shine though, also a better chance for the Sixers to do badly and get someone real awesome in the draft. Alvin Williams, now that's just wrong, he has so much effort and he's one of your if not the most of your clutchest players. As for who to trade, I'm not sure, also what about getting Oakley back as a FA?
personally, i think bringin oak tree back to the team is kind of a last resort. if GG cant pull the trigger on a better deal, to bring us a decent legit starting center, we get a guy like him or tyronne hill. im hoping that we can get a decent center in a trade. although jalen has been playing poor ball as a raptor, im still a fan of his, and would be sad to see him go, but if it means bringing in someone like theo ratliff, im all for it. the raps would have one of the most intimidating front courts in the league with theo/bosh/donyell, and we'd get back being consistantly a defensive team. no more of this - sometimes defense - sometimes offensive - play. Theo could still put at least 7-10 pts per, and add 3 blocks per game. alvin's scoring would go up by a basket, and hes assists would go back up to about 5 per, so we really wouldnt be losing any scoring at all, AND become a defensive monster
I would love to get theo Ratliff, he awesome, but I think we would be giving up to much giving away Jalen for him!!!!! What I would do is trade Jalen Rose, Lamond Murray, and a 2nd round draft pick for Theo Ratliff and Jason Terry. Both want out of Atlanta, and Terry kind of asked for a trade. Ratliff is going to go after this year, and Terry is disgusted with the team.. They would trade both of them. Also they get a star in Jalen Rose that can do it all, a talented shooter in Lamond Murray, and a draft pick which they would love to get new talent. Terry would take the point with Vince at SG, Marshall at SF, Bosh at PF(hes real position), and Ratliff at center. The Bench would be Palacio, Baxter, Peterson, and Curry when healthy. Hows that? I also like Sam Dalembert/ for Lamond Murray trade. 76ers need scoring to help Iverson, and thats what Lamond Murray brings. Also Dalenbert is 6'11" and 250. Hes big and can rebound, score, and doesn't demand minutes. He would really shine in Toronto. This wouldn't be the big trade. GG better do something soon!!!
Did you guys see Dalemburt against Bosh? To me he looked about the same size. Dalemburt for Lamond doesn't even work. Neither does Jalen for Atlanta. Why would Atlanta want Jalens contract when there rebuilding?
i agree with most of u, never ever trade yell now. and jalen ... it sprobably too much of a hurry now that he s just trying to fit into a team and head straight to another again...
Sammy for Murray - won't work, they aren't looking to gain another SG/SF for a center who they have high hopes on, and they're thin at that spot. It also wouldn't work with the $$. As for Wilcox for Alvin, the Clips wouldn't be looking to take a guard who is considered overpaid for a guy with a rookie contract, and has yet to see the best in his career. These trades you guys mention are way too lobsided, seems to be all for the Raps and the other teams get screwed. None of these will work.
yeah, I wouldn?t want to trade donyell, he looks petty comfortable her in T.O., I wouldn?t want to trade Alvin either, I don?t know why, but I love his game, did anyone ever noticed every time in the 4th quarter and the score is really close and Alvin gets this really mad, fired up look and then he gets all pumped? Hahahahaha that?s funny seeing him like that
