Ben (Grosse Pointe, Mich.): Would you trade Rodney Stuckey to Minnesota for Al Jefferson if you could?

Langlois: It’s purely theoretical, of course, because the Pistons aren’t in position to give up the point guard they handed the future to by trading Chauncey Billups, and the Timberwolves are already seriously lacking in frontcourt talent. But as much as I like Jefferson, Stuckey’s the pick. Stuckey has prototypical point guard size and skills. Jefferson, though he’s a wondrous and inventive interior scorer, is undersized for the position and I wonder how his scoring ability would translate to the steady diet of quality teams he’d see in the postseason – if Minnesota ever gets there. Also look at the way the NBA has trended, with increasing emphasis on point guard play.

Why did that trade succeed? Jefferson makes nearly double the money that those two make combined.

Thanks for the random letters, Glenn. It helped.

You're a dick.

Why do you say that?

You seem angry.

<---- MoTwon today

I fully admit I know next to nothing about the salary cap. I pride myself on the lack of knowledge. I just figured a simple explination of the Base Year Compensation would have been better than forwarding me the handbook of the NBA's Salary Cap.


Anyways, enough grumpiness from MoTwon. Yes, I would do that deal.

Understood. It wasn't intentionally dicky, I just thought that Larry could explain it better than I ever could.

I added a poll but forgot to make the votes public, so fuck me.

Once I noticed the poll wasn't public I found the courage to vote yes.

Why would Minny do this deal?

They have Foye and McCants, plus Telfair. They'd have Love up front and that's it.

It's not about Minnesota doing the deal. It's about Joe doing the deal.

Plus McHale is still the GM. Why wouldn't he do it?

McHale got demoted, he's just the coach now, but you're right about the first part.

I thought he was still in charge of personnel. I guess I need to get a better grasp on "my" team.

I would trade stuckey for OJ mayo straight up, no wait, I would want ketchup too.

It depends on the chances of getting other big men. Does he think he can get Boozer? I don't, but if so he's a better post player than Al. Can he move RIP and Max for Amare? Will Bosh sign here?

If you don't know you can get a better big man, then I would probably do it.

Holy hell yes. Jesus.

Well, my point is that if you call up Kerr and he'll do RIP/Max for Amare...and you call up Bosh and he says he's leaning towards coming...maybe you pass on that deal. Maybe you just pass if you can get Amare.

Certainly other deals would keep you from doing this one.

You definitely pass if you can get Amare. They're both down low post players. You'd keep Stuckey and trade for Amare, Sheed pulls his man up top because he's allergic to the rim or some shit like that and Amare dominates down low. I'd rather have a starting lineup of Stuckey, AI, Prince, Amare, Sheed than AI, Rip, Prince, Jefferson, Sheed.

Bump.

Throw in #15 or Kwame or whatever.

aint gonna happen...because everyone would do this trade, Al Jefferson alreadly is a great player + he's a bigman...

First I'm going to make that Wade for Bynum deal.

I THOUGHT STUCKEY WAS VALUABLE?

AREN'T PGS GOLD?

Jefferson was traded for KG. Stuckey has never been that valuable.

AREN'T PGS GOLD?
Ummm........

Stuckey is a combo guard

if stuckey ever makes the all star team I will be amazed.

Gl'enn's still a dick. I'd still do the deal.

So is the deal now Stuckey, Amir plus #15 or Kwame?

So is the deal now Stuckey, Amir plus #15 or Kwame?


why does it matter?

Amir did leave a lasting impression at the Target Center when he did that windmill for his first NBA bucket.

Maybe they'd fall for the 'future star' trap and bite. Too bad McHale isn't the GM anymore.

It doesn't really matter Hermy.

I just wanted to be certain of the parts that were included before I stated my opinion.
