 I don’t know the stats….but it seems to me that trade activity is way down this season.

Normally this forum lights up with trade scenarios….but nobody seems in a mood to wheel & deal. It’s like every team is gun-shy….

Can anyone predict an upcoming trade?

Which teams need to make a trade?

 I like when people actually take the time and come up with good trade ideas. It’s a good exercise to see what the community as a whole thinkgs of certain players, and their value. 

To answer the question though, I don’t think we’re going to see many trades this year simpily because it’s the year right before the tax-jump. Guys with terrible contracts, now only have slightly-overpaid ones, and UFA and RFA aren’t going anywhere because they aren’t worth moving at this time. Also, teams like BRK/SAC/NY, teams that in previous years would be looking to blow it up because of their situation, aren’t, because they know they can still fetch decent players in FA, so you aren’t going to see the implotion that we’ve seen before. I think the era of the T-Mac for Francis, and Iverson for Billups trades are a think of the past for now.

I guess I just don’t see a lot of deals out there to be made. 

Bulls could probably make a move for a wing, but what wings are available? 

Pelicans could probably try to deal Anderson, but who’s going to give them something good for him? 

Wolves have been trying to deal Martin forever, but nobody wants him – or their asking price is too high. 

Just don’t see a lot of teams looking to deal right now. The contenders don’t really have assets that anyone would want and the bad teams probably ask too much for their chips.

You said the Bulls need a wing and then mentioned Martin being available. Is Martin to Chi-Town a possibility?

 I read somewhere that the Grizzlies had talked to the T-Wolves about getting Martin but they were asking for Courtney Lee in return.

 As a Grizzlies fan, I’d love to move Courtney Lee for Kevin Martin, especially if we could get Adreian Payne out of them as well. 

[BleedGreen808Participant]

 From the sound of it the Grizzlies didn’t want to give Lee up.  Maybe that’ll change as the deadline gets closer.

 The Knicks could definitely use a PG. Calderon just isn’t a starting caliber PG anymore. I heard Brandon Jennings name pop up, but I’m not really sure what we would give up for him. I’m sure the price won’t be astronomical though considering he’s coming off a serious injury and will be a free agent at season’s end.

I think users stopped posting trade ideas because 95% of the time they just get negged….

I have heard all the bad contracts that want to be traded…eg. Kieff Morris, Ty Lawson, Stephenson, Pek, Asik.

I think Celtics, Minnesota and Milwaukee should look to trade, they have a lot of good, young appealing assets, they should just decide who they wanna keep and who they want to trade…

Sixers – Are they actually on the right track and trying now ? Ish Smith, then they brought in Brand as locker room mentor (must have seen what Minnesota are doing). They could take a bad contract mentor if some team is willing to throw in another pick for them or just a minimum wage vet looking to help….

The Kings really need to do something. Cousins is great in 2k or fantasy but is poison in real life. 6th season and still hasn’t taken them to the playoffs – The kings need to trade him while he is still healthy and an asset. Danny Ainge was offering nearly half his team for Cousins

I read Mozgov could be traded from the Cavs – quite a few teams have made inquiries.

Toronto are also looking to deal their future first round pick for a veteran SF or SF/PF

[r377Participant]

If Toronto are looking at trading their 22-24th pick this year on a vet small forward, I have a few players from non playoff teams that might be interested in trading for a first rounder. PJ Tucker, Aminu, Casspi, Bellinelli

I always like to dabble on the trade machine and will post trade ideas on this site (usually in other people’s thread pertaining to that topic as making a whole thread for a trade idea usually results in a lot of negatives). So let’s start with the point guards to see which teams I think should be buying/selling:

Buying: Brooklyn, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York, Orlando, Utah

Selling: Detroit (Jennings), Houston (Lawson), New Orleans (Holiday if they feel like tanking)

The majority of my “buying” teams could really use the rentals of Jennings or Lawson this year to replace/back up injured starters for the rest of this year and make a playoff push. I think only Brooklyn and New York would look for a long term point guard right now.

SVG and Jennings are quite close, SVG was the one who finally got some sense into Jennings and made him more of a team player (just before he got injured).

Just before he went down injured The Pistons went 12-3 with Jennings averaging 21-7. They would of made the playoffs if he had not got injured.

I know he is a FA but I don’t reckon SVG trades him – he has said he would like to trial a Jennings/Jackson backcourt together. Rumors of Monroe leaving last season, but SVG still stayed close to him all season and tried to keep him rather than a sign and trade….

As a pistons fan I am not fussed either way. Dinwiddie needs more playing time, plus we have Steve Blake as backup.

[dmo21Participant]

The main thing is that they got Jackson after Jennings went down. So now you have two starting point guards on your team. Teams have been playing more 2 PG lineups, but we’ll see how these 2 work defensively.

With comparison to the Monroe situation, how’d that work out with Detroit? They ended up losing Monroe for nothing. There’s no guarantee Jennings will re-sign, as I see him wanting to be a starting point guard in the league and he doesn’t have that opportunity in Detroit with Jackson there. So I say trade him and get some wing help, backup center, backup point guard to push for the playoffs this year.

[mgreener_34Participant]

 I would hold onto Jennings. The Pistons have a good future ahead of them with Drummond/Stanley/Pope/Jackson, and having a dynamic guard like Jennings coming off the bench would be ideal for that team. I see no reason why he couldn’t do what Lou Williams did in TOR, and think he would be better suited as that spark-plug scorer playing against second unit guys. 

Also, who in their right might would pay starting guard money to have Brandon Jennings run the show? The Nets, maybe? Then who? PG is such a saturated position in the NBA right now, and having one who puts up 16/6/3 on 39/35/80 shooting percentages with a 107 DRtg is not the cream of the crop. 

At this point Jennings has phased hmself out of a starting role, and should accept being a high usage bench player. It would be better for his career, and whatever team he’s on. Detroit probably see’s this as well, or else they never would have traded for Reggie

2-12 in the east standings is separated by 8 games. The standings is getting shaken up on a dialy basis. I think east teams are hesitant because they think they can take that stride and dont want to negatively impact their position, team chemistry, etc.

 No trades, a few reasons.  The cap going up, so all the teams know they can wait and just sign the player they want who is now on an ending contract.  Why trade for Ryan Anderson now, just wait and overpay in a few months.  Another reason, plenty of picks have already been traded, so teams don’t have the throw-away asset to use.  One more reason, confusion, many teams are not sure where they are and don’t know if they are pushing for the playoffs or not.

Here is a trade idea.

Jrue Holiday to Chicago for Doug McDermott and Taj Gibson.

An unexpected trade idea, but it works.  For the Bulls, they open up time for Portis at power forward, and make Mirotic the small forward of now and the future, while also getting a point guard who can play next to Rose while also being ready to play if Rose is injured, or traded.

Pelicans put Tyreke at point guard, they get a veteran inside player for a couple of years, and a shooter they need to spread the floor and keep defenders away from Davis.

 I read a year ago that impact trades are gonna take a downturn for the foreseeable future primarily because the value of 1st round draft picks has exploded. Teams can save 10s of millions drafting a star and keeping him for years on a cheap contract, instead of trading picks and parts for a max contract guy. Teams have learned that trading for stars is at least almost as big a crapshoot as the draft in the big picture…

The Wizards need a PF. They trade Nene (1yr $13mill) and a lotto protected or top 10 protected first round draft pick (or Oubre) to Brooklyn for Thad young (4yrs $12mill)

Henson, T-Jones, McGary, Taj Gibson or Markieff (risky) might also be options

I don’t see them trading Thad for a salary dump and low first round picks. They don’t have their own pick for a while so they still need to try to win. I can see Thad getting traded, but I think it would be for more talent than that.

Nene’s expiring deal could be used by the Wizards and they have a few young pieces they could add to any trade.

Boston own a load of picks but I don’t see Danny Ainge doing a rash trade or giving up on picks due from the Nets for a short term fix.

The Lakers might try to move Hibbert if a contender came in for him and they could get any sort of asset back.

Charlotte also have Al Jefferson out of contract and having to serve a suspension when he returns so they might look to flip his expiring deal for something to try and keep in the play off picture.

Phoenix are having a poor season and might look at reasonable offers for any none key player.

I can see there being more complimentary moves or short term moves rather than a big trade as a lot of teams will want to keep options and trade ammo for the summer.

JJ Hickson and David Lee on the trading block. Dwight and Markieff don’t look to be getting moved.

Bucks have interest in Ty Lawson. Poss trade OJ Mayo or Bayless
