Need Trade Input: NO Hornets

[Caveman24]

But my thing is why Rondo? I can see maybe going after a young PG that hasn't really gotten his chance to start(Eric Bledsoe,Darren Collinson(if he didn't just sign with the Mavs)But any of the trades will never work and Celtics won't be getting nearly there proper value for him just wait till off season to try and sign a PG or something

realistic or not, you're gonna need players that can score and create their own shots. if you trade away your only 2 legit offensive threats for rondo, you're gonna be cruisin for a brusin.

Benefits both teams? I say rape the system if you can. There's bad trades in the NBA all the time. If it works, it works.

I would find a way for a Gordon-Curry swap. Curry and Davis would be nice. Still have an elite offensive player and whatever Curry lacks on defense, having Davis protecting the rim makes up for it. Similar to what is going to happen with Nash and Howard in LA.

Or Rubio, I suppose.

On a side note: for some reason the Bobcats want to trade MKG for as little possible in this game so I would try and steal him. Same with Pau Gasol.

I would actually try and pick up a center and then move Davis to PF.

Don't listen to this guy ^^^^

You chose the Hornets, the Hornets are a work in progress, they're not going to be a contender for quite some time, and if you want to be realistic like I think you said, then EG, Unibrow and Rivers are your mainstays, those are the guys you build around. Rivers is absolutely LETHAL, keep him and develop him, the development process is what makes the game fun. EG is your #1 option and Unibrow is your 'franchise cornerstone' ?? Robin Lopez is also a solid backup C for you, your main concern right now should be finding low post presence... Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis won't get the job done right now as far as post moves... I've never been a fan of Aminu, but between him and Xavier Henry, you can possibly try and move one + another player and package a draft pick for a PF, someone like a Zach Randolph possibly. Move Ryan Anderson to 6th man with Rivers and you should be able to compete for the 7-8th playoff spot this year. Then go into the draft and find yourself a stud SF and I think you will be in good hands.

Kind of how the Magic got Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, rookie Moe Harkless, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga...etc for Howard?

That trade was unrealistic as hell but it somehow went through. Rondo isn't all that unrealistic considering he has been considered a headache for years and hasn't exactly gotten along with Doc. I really don't believe he is untouchable, the C's would do it for the right price. Not to mention their future at PG is already on the roster (Bradley)

Believe me I agree. It's not like I wouldn't be getting anything back from either the C's or a third party. If I gave up Gordon I would be looking to add Courtney Lee, specifically.

i say that you should build your team around davis, gordon and rivers. id trade either henry or aminu for a serviceable point guard rated in the mid 70s. id let him start at pg and let rivers rotate in off the bench at pg and sg. besides that id build through the draft and develope the players on the roster.

lee is really just a spot up shooter and defender. id steer clear of that...you need legit scorers to balance out the roster.

Like he was saying it wasn't 2 or 3years ago they were looking to trade him.it was right after the lockout ended up until trade deadline this past season that they said they were open to talks.
