You don't know the deal that was proposed by Sacramento

. We most likely would have had to take Kenny Thomas' contract, and give up BrandonBass. Regardless, Josh Howard will still have value in the upcoming season unless he falls off the face of the earth. If we traded for a player a 1-yr contractand he left, where does that leave us? Without our second best scoring option, and nothing but a huge contract to play with.


I'd love for a S&T for Josh Smith to happen though.

i'd like to see ron artest move, even though most of the potential trade rumors have died down

 

[tha murdera 2001]

maybe the cavs can get a.i. for some expiring contracts if LAC got camby for peanuts and a swisher sweet...

"There's now talk of a proposed trade between the Pistons and Kings that would see the man whojump-started the most infamous brawl of the modern sports era head to the city where said brawl occured."

i wonder what would happen if this actually went through

 

[kyleleewatson]

Stephen Jackson is going there too.

 

[mateen cleaves]

id like him here, not sure how other Pistons fans feel about that though.

 

[youngcfromthad]

who all are we trading?

Umm, Kobe is friends with and talks to Turiaf so I think he would know what Turiaf wanted. Of course Turiaf wanted to stay in LA. The team is in a betterstate than the Warriors and he was content with being a guy receiving little playing time and you can tell by the way he acted on the bench.

 

[joesarge]

^^ Yeah as a Pistons fan I wondered the same thing. I think a player like him would fit in great...it's just that everyone hates him.

Ultimately if they win it'll be fine though.

Flat out, there's no way.

Tayshuan for Artest?

 

[rleung03]

i read that sacramento wants tayshaun

Why isn't this in the rumors thread?

I couldn't find anything on Artest to the Pistons yet but it will pop up soon.

 

[mateen cleaves]

where will okafor go?

 

[lamarownsem]

Clippers should have tried to get Okafor first before making the Camby deal.

 

[rleung03]

i don't see any reason for anyone wanting devean george

It wouldn't have been a trade. The Clippers had the money to offer Okafor since he's a free agent.

 

[japs24]

artest to pistons? WOW!

Cant wait for the warm welcome from the fans..lol
