Let's make a trade

PrintWith the deadline approaching I figure it is time enough to throw a trade out there for consideration.
Having read a couple recent articles about Kyle Singler and his less than enthusiastic feelings towards coming to Detroit perhaps it is time to utilize his rights to and impressive performances overseas to turn him into a useful asset for the Pistons.
Add to that Austin Daye and his "potential" that hopefully is still considered to be fairly high around the league and I think you have the beginnings of a reasonable offer.
I have been infatuated with the Manimal Kenneth Faired since before the last draft. I wanted the Pistons to trade down to get him until Knight fell to us.
I think he can be some kind of hybrid of Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman. Yeah ok I may be reaching there but he certainly has something that would suit Detroit.
Obviously he isn't playing much in Denver at this stage and if the Nuggets continue on their path of mass destruction in the Western Conference he isn't going to see much more time.
I know we already have a player of similar stature and skill set in Jason Maxiell but I still think he is more likely to be on the move next season with his expiring contract than be a long term Piston.
Therefore Kenneth Faired would be a wonderful longer term addition to the squad over and above what we are currently getting from Austin and likely to get from Singler.
Also taking into consideration that Denver just lost Gallo they need a SF and Daye could help them in that regard and having Singler potentially available after the Spanish season may be enough to tempt them into making the move.
This would obviously be a complete philosophy change back towards the good old days of Pistons ball which all of us can admit is exactly what is needed.
So all things considered what would you do? Would you give up 2 assets for one? Do you think the Pistons or Nuggets would even be interested?

If Denver would take Singler and Daye for Faried
I’d pull the trigger in two heartbeats. Note that Wilson Chandler has apparently committed to return to Denver this season after China’s season ends. That might complicate Denver’s interest in such a deal.
If I was Denver, I wouldn’t do the deal, but I don’t know their thinking.
I’d love to have Faried and just turn him loose. I don’t think anyone wants what we’re selling, though.
I would love to turn Sourpuss Singler into something tangible.
…and I’m totally ready to cut bait with Daye along those lines.
I don’t think anyone wants what we’re selling, though.
Joe Dumars is no longer the snake oil salesman he once was, I think. Dealing with Detroit for anyone not named Moosey, Knight or Jonas is a longshot as I write this.
Prove me wrong though, Joe. I would be thrilled to underestimate your current dealing acumen.

i'm still hoping
that we cut bait on knight before it’s too late
Why not just Daye for Faried?
It works on the ESPN Trade Machine! We could throw in a second round pick, too. I doubt that Denver would want two SFs from us. The main problem with any of these trade ideas is that Denver probably doesn’t want to cut Faried loose. I wouldn’t if I were them. But as a Pistons fan, because of the Billups for Iverson rip-off, I figure they owe us!
You can't cimply dump your garbage
You need to give something to get something. Daye is not going to get you Faried on his own. You need to make it a more appealing offer in order to get a deal like this through.
Of course everyone would love to do a straight swap but where is the incentive for Denver in that regard?
Bugger that Faried just started I hadn’t realized that. Looks like the chances of such a move just went way down.
Can't blame Singler too much
All he has to do is look at the depth chart and see that there are 2 guys ahead of him (Prince and Daye) and another guy (Jerebko) who is better suited for playing the 3 than the 4. If we traded Daye that might change his thinking. I think Singler could be a good backup forward in time.
Yeah if anything, Singler would automatically make a better GM than JoD
he was smart enough to see the train wreck of a team he’d be playing for and smartly took the opportunity to play for a Euroleauge powerhouse while getting to use his unique ghost-like complexion to attract spicy olive-skinned Spanish women.
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.

I didn't realize this until a minute ago
but Faried started last night for Denver. 8 points, 10 rebounds.
I Don't Blame Singler
He’d be the #4 SF on this team (and only in Detroit would you have a SF depth chart go 4 deep, but I digress). I really do believe he will be the backup next year if he plays here. So, let him marinate over there.
Tay has not played badly, and he’s still a smart player. The problem is he’s just a really bad fit for this team. JJ has done well coming in off the bench, and has shown to be a more effective 3 than 4. The other problem is the three best landing places for him, you probably need to do a 3-teamer to make it work (LAL, LAC, DAL).,

I've never liked Singler.
I actually hate him, in fact. I hated him when he was at Duke. When I was watching the draft, and saw he was on the board, I thought to myself, “the Pistons will take him just to piss me off.” Sure enough they did. I think I just based my hatred off the fact that he went to Duke, and I hate his face. Whenever I see it, I just want to punch him. I’ve been needing to say that since he was drafted, and it feels good to say it. However, I do not think it is healthy, or even right to hate someone for those reasons, so that kind of scares me…oh well.

Well, at least you’re honest. Kyle Singler’s face says hi!

So you want to punch Singler's face,eh? Makes sense.
To experience the consequences of my own choices. This is why I live
And here's a little something to haunt your nightmares since I can't find a gif of his face getting hit.

No one is going to trade anything of significant value for Singler’s draft rights. There’s a reason he fell to the second round — nobody wanted him. Maybe — maybe — he develops into a serviceable backup, something like Luke Walton is his best years in LA. But much more likely, he has a good career overseas and never makes the rotation of an NBA franchise.
If I’m Singler, I stay put. He’s making similar if not more money than he would as a non-guaranteed second rounder in the NBA, and he’s playing a lot more minutes.
There’s no shame at all in making millions playing on a good overseas team. If I were him, I’d be happy living that dream, then return to the states a handful of years from now a millionaire. No reason to try your luck on a crappy team like this on a non-guaranteed deal.

Bring on the hate but...
I would trade him for our beloved Jonas if we could make the money work somehow.
