A S&T of Lee for Sessions is ok, but then Ramon would be hella overpaid LOL.

Maple, I've read Rip for Stack Dampier and a 1st rumor.

 

[MapleLeaf]

i heard the damp and stack for rip rumor but not with the first involved....and I don't want that....we've gone into a bad habit in giving away our firsts, we don't have our first next year unless we don't make the playoffs...it's lottery protected.

So I doubt we do a deal with us adding a first

 

[sheed]

I wouldn't like that at all. We need to go after someone younger and more productive than Dampier.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I think the point of the trade for Detroit would be Stack and Damp which is a 19.1 expiring for the 2010 FA class.

I haven't heard the first included, and I would totally be against that and I'm sure all MAvs fans would be

Damp and Stack give us more expirings, unless Damp accepts his option. Either way I somewhat like that.

Not so sure, Rip would give you guys ANOTHER 20ppg scorer. Kidd/Rip/JHo/Dirk/Gortat(?) is not bad and is a step up from your team of last season IMO. But you would be in rebuilding hardship lol, you'd have all your starters locked up longterm..

 

[RipCity32]

Hellz yeah I like that lol.
We aren't going anywhere this year anyways lol.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I know, but the 1st is what no Mavs fan wants to give up. That would give us 2 more years without a first.

But I have heard a DAmp/Stack for Rip rumor, no first I've heard though

 

[RipCity32]

Also bringing Stack back to Detroit to retire would be kind of cool.

 

[MapleLeaf]

another rumor I heard with the Stack/Damp package would be bringing in the Maverick killer....Stephen Jackson

 

[Pugz]

He would make our bench a ton better. Plus Damp could get 10/10/2 for us, I think anyways. Then we would just need to work on getting a backup PG <_<

Really? No way, I don't see that happening AT ALL. Only reason is to rebuild for 2010, but Damp has a Player Option anyways. That's nuts lol. Nellie would kill himself, no small ball? LOL

 

[sheed]

After thinking about it and looking up that they have expirings, I wouldn't mind that too much. We would have some money for next offseason to sign a real Center.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Bench Damp and Stack lol.

Stack is not worthy of playing, he should just retire, but he is valuable because he is a 7 million expiring, and Damp has a 12.1 team option after this year. Would make Warriors players in 2010 FA class

 

[Pugz]

Ooh, it's a team option? Damn, I want to move Rip for Damp and Stack ASAP. Forget the 1st, ours would be 11-16 anways. I want that 13-16mill we'd have to go after a real starting C and get some nice depth. Then we'd be a real Piston team again.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Damp actually is a team option after this year because he will not live up to the requirements in the deal when we signed him

 

[RipCity32]

What centers? It's all PF's again I believe.

 

[Pugz]

Then sign a Power Forward and have him play Center.. Amare?!? LOL, your right. I want a real Center!

 

[dez]

Contrary to reports, the Wizards are not interested in signing free agent guard Stephon Marbury.

Marbury has been linked to Washington. Flip Saunders coached Marbury in Minnesota, but interest in a reunion appears to be solely one-sided.

Didnt understand the reasoning in them wanting Marbury anyway, whatever happened to him going overseas after his contract was up? lol

 

[dez]

That's why there has been so much talk about a possible sign-and-trade between Portland and New York. Portland would likely part with small forward Travis Outlaw and point guard Steve Blake
if a deal can be reached

An uneven trade is another option, knowing Portland has money to work with.

Not a bad deal if it was to happen, Blake and Duhon would be an ok 1/2 punch at PG. Good enough to last us this season. Outlaw has shown improvement and would be a good spark off the bench, which will be needed if we lose out on Nate.

Just wonder what their contracts look like...
