Sactown trade idea: Let's play along

Do you do this trade for T.J.?

[omeloon]

No, but I guess I rather have that deal than the Diaw one. Salmons is a slightly better all around shooter, and is good at scoring the ball when his team needs him to score. Don't like the fact that he's older than Diaw, but his contract and us keeping the 17th pick makes up for it.

i'd prefer salmons & douby

[Rhettmatic]

I wouldn't do this deal, though I think it's fair. I'm sick of having so-called depth, where there's three or four players at a position who are around the same skill level. We need one small forward or shooting guard who's head and shoulders above what we have now, and Ford would probably be our best chip to bring him in. Diaw is, from a talent perspective, whether he puts it all together or not, but Salmons isn't, so I don't think this deal makes us better.

I'd do it over the Diaw trade. We hold on to the 17th pick, get a nice scorer in Salmons, an okay prospect in Douby and with that second round pick would could take a chance on either Dorsey, Mbah a Moute or even Bill Walker if he falls there.

Still, I think we could get more for TJ than either of those packages. I'd rather build a package to get a high pick while holding on to the 17th.

[General Ford]

I like Salmons but he doesn't like Toronto.

[Headliner]

I'd prefer Salmons + 12 for Ford + 17

[5DOM]

I'd prefer Salmons + 12 for Ford + 17

+1

[andyo]

I prefer neither, if I had to choose...I'd do the Diaw trade.

[omeloon]

I'd prefer Salmons + 12 for Ford + 17

I'd prefer it, but I still wouldn't be jumping for joy. We're not going to be getting a MUCH better prospect, and we're still giving away a starter for a 6th man.

[sh00n]

I'd prefer Salmons + 12 for Ford + 17

I'd do that in an instant.

[chsh22]

But Salmons doesn't want to play here, does he?

EDIT: Also, TJ's BYC expires AFTER the draft, meaning they would pick for us and us for them and then trade.
I'm certain a better deal could be had straight up after the draft.

[Bankai]

I like Salmons but he doesn't like Toronto.

God doesent like Toronto and Salmons only listens to him.

[Kreamy]

Does the dumbass who wrote the article know Salmons brief history with Colangelo and the Raptors?

[wtfbosh]

I like the trade, but if Jesus doesn't like Toronto then why bother?
