Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson, Okur on the trading block?

PrintNow that the draft is over, unlike a lot of you guys, I'm not too upset with the Knight pick. I believe in Knight; if you have a 4.3 GPA in high school, that says something about your character and your work ethic. If Knight cares about basketball, he will work his butt off to be successful (as he did with his classes). Scouts did say he has a high ceiling as a player, so I expect him to improve rather quickly. He wasn't all that good in the beginning of the year, but he progressively improve game by game and he makes the big plays when his team needs it. Even a guy like Chauncey Billups needed a few year and get it together, I'd like to give him a chance.
Now then, a lot of us including myself know that we have a major logjam with the guards. Taking a look at a few teams, Utah and Cleveland have a major logjam with their big men. Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson, Mehmet Okur, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter all want and need significant minutes next season just like Rodney Stuckey, Ben Gordon, Brandon Knight, Rip Hamilton, and Will Bynum. Anderson Verajao, Tristan Thompson, Antawn Jamison, and JJ Hickson all want and need significant minutes next season just like our guards. Those two teams could be our trading partners in the perceivable future. I believe in Joe Dumar's ability in trades. I'm not very good coming up with trade ideas, maybe Ben Gordon + Daye + a pick for Verajao + Ramon Sessions (since Irving and Davis are the on the team) + throw-ins? This give Irving and a few good shooters while we get some inside help in Verajao and an insurance in Sessions. For Utah, maybe something like Ben Gordon + Stuckey (after tendered) and/or Daye for Paul Millsap + Raja Bell? Again, they need shooting guards and wings while we need inside presence in Millsap and a solid vet in Bell. Rip Hamilton + Charlie V + Daye for Elton Brand + Andre Nocioni?
I don't know how you guys think, so comment on this and let's talk about whether this plan could work or I'm just being stupid

I think the only way we’re getting rid of Ben Gordon is A) if there’s a buy-out clause under the new CBA or b) he plays lights out between october and february and some dumbass team gains interest. The likelihood of either are slim to none.
The only option you mentioned that might be realistic is rip/charlie for brand/nocioni, but only if Vucevic looks solid and/or if the team trades for Kaman.

In your opinion
What should we put on the table to attract trade partners like Cleveland and Utah?

everything but Monroe
but sadly, that includes nothing that should be of interest to Cleveland and Utah.

you mean everything but monroe and jerebko.
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.
well i'm being technical
since Jerebko is not technically a Piston until he’s given a new contract.

Blasphemy!

If for some reason he doesn’t get a new contract, I’m going to shit in Joe Dumars’s Whopper.

I can hear it now
“We feel like we’ve got a special, one-of-a-kind talent in Kyle Singler and we need to make room for him to carve out a star career in Detroit. When it comes to guys like Singler, who are long and smooth, have a great stroke— we’d be doing him a disservice by playing him behind other players like Jerebko. We’d like to thank Jonas for what he’s brought to Detroit and wish him the best of luck on his future career in the NBA.”
moments later…
“The Denver Nuggets have offered Jonas Jerebko a 3-year, $11M deal which has been accepted and signed. Press conference forthcoming.”

Denver’s almost on Sactown levels of cockblocking when it comes to Detroit.

Very different.
Sacramento is the guy wearing styling clothes and a pheromone spray who walks between the two of you just when you’ve gotten up the nerve to finally ask her out.
Denver is the guy who you inexplicably told her is a well hung, multi-millionaire and then you paid for the two of them to spend a week together in Venice, (after stuffing his pockets with ruffies on the way to see them off at the airport).

I recommend this convoluted metaphor. It made me laugh.

Thanks.
It took surprisingly long to present it in words that were semi-coherent. Don’t know if it’s the desperate reach that it represents or the reflection of a massive change in time zones, or both.

And Three Years Later...
“…tern Conference Champion Denver Nuggets, led by Aaron Alflalo and Jonas Jerebko, have taken a surprising 2-1 lead over the heavily favored Miami Heat.”
And simultaneously (from a quite different news source)…
“The Bulgaria Badgers, led by two time Slav League Player of the Year Kyle Singler, defeated the Moldavian Monsters in the decisive third game of the championship series.”

I would say more about going 8 than us
The kid was expecting to go 3rd, at worst 5th. There’s also a fairly big drop off in pay from 3rd to 8th overall, so yeah I would be upset too if I fell 5 picks
Without a doubt, squats are a cure for everything.

yeah obvi

Knight and Monroe...
these two will turn Detroit around. I think we may be stuck with Gordon and Charlie, what are the chances of landing DeAndre Jordan or even Spencer Hawes?
" Maybe for a writer...but i am sure most of you can tell i am not a writer". det32
None. And why in hell would we want Spencer Hawes? His rebounding has dropped every year, minutes or no minutes. I don’t want a part of Hawes and his Ayn Randiness.
