Possible trade looming?

[N.O.Bronco]

When did I say we won't ever trade Ryno? Read: unless it's a really good move for us. I don't think Stephenson/Gilchrist is the best we can do.

"I don't think we will ever trade Ryno unless"

Implying that unless it is a good move we will stand pat. Be clearer in your statements if you didn't mean what you wrote. It's definitely a statement interpretable as meaning we may never trade Ryno. No need to get testy with me.

Are people really saying they wouldnt trade ryno and rivers for Lance and mkg??

That's exactly what I mean, we aren't making a trade just to make a trade. It will be good deal on our end, he's very coveted on a great contract. But we won't trade him just to make a move.

I don't want Lance Stephenson anywhere near this team.

I would want PJ Hairston in the deal, as we will need shooting.

Ryno and Asik for Big Al and MKG

Maybe its just me but my trade sense is not tingling. I think it'll be something like Cunningham and someone like an Ajinca or a Gustavo.
Essentially marginal upgrades from who we just cut.

Has it ever tingled prior to a trade before?

Only when a certain Frenchman's name is mentioned.

[kclaboy504]

I was hoping for a smaller move to help the bench with some veteran experience,

but after watching the last 3 games I'm close to wanting Dell to blow it all up.

before he gets the ok to actually blow it up...he will be fired..bet on that

My gut is telling me we are trading Ryno and Rivers to Hornets. If we get Lance I'm gonna be upset.

That is the direction I'm thinking.

Can Tyreke & Lance play together?
Can we get MKG/Henderson/Hairston out of this?

Will Tyreke be gone after we get Lance?

I'm on the edge of my seat.

Lance can't be traded until December 15th. Another reason a trade now is unlikely, there will be more assets on the table in 2 weeks.

Question: is there any good reason a team might trade with us for EG? I know Demps would move him.

That makes sense. If we get lance I will be very annoyed.

But we could have a "verbal" agreement, much like with the Asik trade.

Seems to me he and Tyreke are very similar players with polar-opposite personalities.

Only if they were convinced he would opt out after this season.

I'd stab Dell if he did that trade.

There is no way I would trade Anderson to the Hornets. They don't have the pieces we deserve for Ryno. I want Dell to magically trade Gordon. I think WARRIORS, CAVS, PORTLAND, CELTICS could all be options.

[pelicanchamp]

If we got a starting SF and a backup PG then I think we're going to have a chance.

[iNolaNightmare]

I personally think Lance Stephenson's trade value is about as low as Austin Rivers'. He's been a cancer to the Hornets thus far. Couple that with him being a clone of Tyreke and there's a 0% chance we acquire him in a trade.

[Bee-Fense]

Are people really saying they wouldnt trade ryno and rivers for Lance and mkg??

I would do Ryno for MKG but not Rivers for Lance. I don't want Lance or his contract. Too similar to Tyreke and seems to be a headcase.

[Bee-Fense]

I don't think a trade happens anytime soon. It's not even 12/15 yet. Alex Kennedy is not the most reliable reporter out there.

However, if recent trends continue, I expect a trade by deadline or this off-season with Anderson for a starting SF, and possibly moving Tyreke back to the bench. I'd love a MKG for Anderson trade and start Holiday-Gordon-MKG-Davis-Asik with Tyreke off the bench. I think we need to make Tyreke off the bench work because otherwise I think Gordon isn't as effective as he can be and also Tyreke is kind of a 1 man show anyways.
