Rumor: Pels looking to trade Rivers and Pierre in package deal

[504ByrdGang]

If we trade these two guy for some mediocre or scrub player I will be pissed. You don't trade potential for mediocrity and I feel like this is what Dell will do.

Dell hates Austin and Pierre

Sounds like a package the Grizz would like for Koufos.

I like Austin but I'd like this trade more.

[PELICANSFAN]

That sounds more like a Demps trade. He seems to like the smaller trades that may net a role player.

[RUFshreve]

It better be for something serious. If we still have Gordon and Tyreke, but Rivers and Pierre are gone, I WILL BE PISSED.

[RaisingTheBar]

Let's just get rid of Gordon and call it a season.

we get rid of a 5'8" D Leaguer and at best a back up pg, what are getting back exactly?

Austin, Pierre, and Aminu works for Jeff Green.

Or Thaddeus Young

Or Wilson Chandler.

Wouldn't mind any of those. Then, you got the MLE to get a big or you trade Gordon for a big and use the MLE for a SG. I could live with that.

Getting a SF lets us trade Gordon for a big, moving Evans to SG. I like that line up much better. Especially if that big is that trade the ESPN author wants to happen that brings in Tyson Chandler for Gordon.

Seems to good to be true! Demps would be on Loomis level if he can pull that one off!

Loomis level? What has Loomis done in the NFL trade scene? I can't recall anything worth while.

I really like Austin and will be pulling for him his entire career, but if we can get any of those guys I don't see how we turn it down. A backup SG who "might" develop into a starter or might not, a DLeaguer who hasn't seen the NBA, and Aminu for any of those 3 guys is a steal.

I think if anyone seriously stands back and assess what Austin's peak is (I think if we're being honest he might develop into Jarrett Jack with a slightly worse shot but better handling and defense) then i don't see why we wouldn't make this trade.

I think he is speaking more on the level of one of Loomis' many surprise payoff signings. But you are right, he hasn't done much other than turn Reggie Bush into cap space.

If Del had half as much success as Loomis we would be in the playoffs most years, and the years we were not we would be putting together the pieces to get us right back to the playoffs.

Parys Harrelson is great (at least in Madden 25)

[kclaboy504]

Man if we can get any if those trades MM posted I'd be Avery happy camper. I prefer Jeff green to all of those.

AVERYJOHNSON?!?! NOOOOOOO

I agree

NFL is a completely different game. There are not nearly as many big trades in the NFL.

Would be nice, but don't see any of those happening (without having a 1st rounder). Would be pleasantly surprised.

So? Someone said Demps could reach Loomis level. Demps is already above Loomis level (which is very low) in regards to trades.

Now... Loomis is the man with the cap.

[MichaelMcNamara]

The question is: Does Boston still view Austin the way they did two years ago, when they tried to trade up to get him. And it wasn't because of Doc; Ainge loved him.

And does Boston view Pierre as a first round pick, as some on this board do? If so, they are basically getting 2 1st round picks and clearing about 5 mil off their books next year for Green.

Or maybe they just like Austin and Pierre goes elsewhere. Would they take Austin, Aminu, Orlando's 2014 2nd rounder, and Miami's 2015 1st for Green? (With Pierre going to Cleveland)

You look at how the Magic tried to get a nice bounty for JJ Reddick last year and had to settle for much less than they were asking for, and wonder if some of these rebuilding teams would do the same.

Yeah thanks!
