Horrible Trade Idea Open Thread
by Scott Howard on Jul 28, 2010 1:21 PM MDT
Email
PrintSo with Bright Side of the Sun exploding with awful trade rumors I wanted everyone to have a thread where they could talk about the worst possible, half-baked, half-assed, and just plain stupid trade ideas that they could come up with.
I'll kick it off with a well thought out 3-way deal:
Suns receive: A time machine, 1987 Michael Jordan, Dolph Lundgren right from the set of Rocky IV
1987-88 Chicago Bulls receive: Jason Richardson, Adrian Balboa, Dwayne Collins, Butkus the dog, and Todd Quinter
Rocky IV receives: Artis Gilmore, Earl Clark, a 2012 second round pick, and Granville Waiters (to make the cap numbers work)
Why this works: The Suns get a time machine which allows them to go back in time and collect both Jordan and Lundgren at the peak of their powers. Chicago gets Jason Richardson and what I can only imagine will be transcendent skills for the time. In addition, Balboa's negativity will serve as inspiration for the team as she constantly reminds them of their inability to win. Rocky IV saves some money by getting rid of Lundgren and replaces him with the larger Artis Gilmore along with the potential of Earl Clark for future sequels.
Trade Dudley.

2010 Hill has to start...
…its part of his agreement with the team. 97 Hill will have to come off the bench regardless of how much better he is.
can the 2010 hill warned the 97 hill?
that he should wear nike instead of fila?
and he will be injured in 3yrs..
any other advise? haha

he should sign here on phoenix, so we can build a dynasty here,.
he should also asked the 97 nash to be here, lol..

Okay I got one, trade jrich and stevie nash for ekpe udoh.
Then lets trade hill and roblo for julian wright of the hornets. Then flip dragic for theo ratliff and his manhood. That way we can have theo ratliff get dunked on viciously by josh smith, have an injured rookie, and an solid sf who doesn’t give a shit!!!!!!!!!!!
For every sunset, there will always be a sunrise.
Okay, I play this game..
Lets trade Scott Howard, the rights to the dunk video of Jarron Collins, a can of TGriff’s spray on hair, and the last chicken nugget at the Suns post-game buffet, for a decent trade proposal…
Don’t worry…I checked the numbers, we win just by unloading Scott…

this works
except the Suns don’t ever have chicken nuggets at their post-game buffet. Not since Nash and Hill took over catering duties.
More like salmon salad, lots of humus and the occasional egg plant casserole.

Phoenix Suns Gorilla for Milwaukee Brewers Sausage Racers
Sure, we have all loved the Gorilla throughout the years, but he just doesn’t fit into the new front office’s plans. In the Sausage Racers, we gain more flexibility (5 mascots instead of 1), they’ve already shown they great chemistry among each other, and they obviously have great length! Can you imagine these guys using the trampoline as a springboard to dunk balls? Only question is whether we can fit all their salaries in without going over the luxury tax.

Might see this trade as uneven, as they would be giving up 5 components for one. The Suns could throw in Hairy and Hairyson to sweeten the deal and make the Brewers feel like they’re getting enough in return. Throw in Ced Ceballos if they have to.
They're trying to take my tortillas!

OK here we go.
First, we trade JRich to the Blazers for Greg Oden.
Since Blazers fans are all petrified of JRich after last year’s playoffs, and since they all think Greg Oden is the love child of Moses Malone and Bill Russell, they all pack up and move to AZ, which STIMULATES THE ECONOMY.
Next, we flip the Suns Gorilla for Delonte West and make him our new mascot. If you thought the Gorilla looked cool riding his hog onto the court, wait till you see Delonte cruise in, pointing his sawed-off shotgun at the opposing team’s bench.
Finally, Steve Nash for a 2nd round pick cause that guy totally sucks and can’t play D.

J-Rich and Adio Sol Patrol for...
Cheez Doodles, Jabbawockeez, and cash considerations
Can you think of a more fitting piece to Planet ORNG than a bag of Cheez Doodles? It’s time to stop dreaming and start living Suns fans, the FO must get this done! It works on several fronts because first off, they’d be getting rid of J-Rich’s expiring contract which gives them much-needed flexibility to go out and sign a big (Shaquille O’Neal anyone?). They also get a versatile, well-liked replacement in Cheez Doodles that will only bolster their all-important chemistry. It would be an instant fan favorite.
You all know how important homecourt advantage can be. The Suns would lose the serviceable, high-flying Adio Sol Patrol, but they gain, in my opinion, a considerable upgrade in the Jabbawockeez. First, if the Suns manage to bring back the Big Cactus, they would have instant chemistry. Remember this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbh7pqYFDw
Shaq will stay focused, in shape, and the rest of the team will be happy. With America’s Best Dance Crew in the house, there’s no doubt in my mind that USAC would have the BEST homecourt in the league. Just imagine how many more wins that could produce!
The lineup would look like this:
Nash/Dragic
J-Chill/CHEEZ DOODLES
Hill/Dudley
Turk/Warrick
O’Neal/Lopez/Frye
Consider this people, because I believe that with the talent they have, their outstanding chemistry, a familiar big man, and the league’s best home court, that the Suns will finally celebrate their very first NBA title. Go Suns!
They're trying to take my tortillas!
The Jabbawockeez would obviously start over Shaq.
If they’re not in the starting lineup, I’ll be confused.

But they'd be way better defensively on the pick & roll....
STAT may be gone but the Suns will rise....!
You've got a point there
Plus that’s a lot of agile hands to swat incoming shots. They’d be unstoppable in the post, at least until a player like KG clips their legs from under them in frustration.
“F*ck you, Dance Crew!” he shouts as he trips the base Jabbawockee.
They're trying to take my tortillas!
I'm reasonably sure that a jabbawockee only counts as half a player
We should put 10 out there and see how they do.
I know a way that this would actually happen...
but it wouldn’t be a bag of cheez doodles…(and we wouldn’t get shaq) it would be the entire cheez doodle factory!!! and the way that this would actually happen would be if CHARLES BARKLEY became GM!!!
+1 to Scott Howard’s sarcasm in saying ‘Trade Dudley’. The +1 is because it is a stupid idea and because, disappointingly, I have seen others state they would be happy to trade him.

Here's a question...
What type of soap will they use?
What is their favorite type of bratwurst?
And who is the team’s favorite former president?

Ooh, ooh! I know, I know! Pick me!
Their favorite soap would be Johnson and Johnson, favorite bratwurst is made by Johnsonville, and their favorite president…well, the team is actually bipartisan.
Neither side of the team opposes the other side of the team’s favorite, but they do have distinct favorites. Here’s how it breaks down:
Joe Johnson, Amir Johnson, and James Johnson are fans of Andrew Johnson mainly because of his opportunistic nature. You see, Andrew Johnson only took over as president once Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Joe and Amir signed contracts for more than they were worth this summer, because teams knew they couldn’t land LeBron, Bosh or Wade. Boom. Opportunism.
Linton Johnson, Trey Johnson and Kevin Johnson all enjoy the philosophies of Lyndon B. Johnson. Not sure why Trey or Kevin like him, but reports are that Linton likes him because of his name. Go figure.
Also, Avery Johnson should be the GM.

We steal the rights to Lebron James and Kobe Byrant’s souls and than trade them to the devil for a Championship. What do you all think of that?

yeah. let's respect those guys. let's get back to the trade.
why dont we trade Nash for Iverson
Lopez for Shawn Bradley (or Sam Bowie)
Aaron Nelson for Greg Oden
Gentry for Isiah Thomas
and rename our team Phoenix Lakers?
im gonna get killed here
On the plus, I think if the Suns changed their name to Lakers, it’d piss off LA.

Jason Richardson For The Basketball Wives
The Phoenix Suns...Where making average players look elite happens.
Not bad at all. There's a chance Atlanta would go for it, with their long term interests in mind.
Would the Kings be willing to give up Dalembert and rely on a young DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson and Hassan Whiteside without veteran support? I think they might.
They have no need for an expiring J-Rich contract, but could definately use J-Rich himself, and Richardson likes northern California enough that he’d probably resign there if they offered him a good amount to stay, which they can certainly afford to do.
Atlanta desperately wants a point guard along with a center, though. Perhaps Beno Udrih?
How about this? (Ignore the trade restriction on Dalembert, it will be gone next Tuesday the 17th.)
Kings starting lineup:
PG Tyreke Evans
SG Jason Richardson
SF Omri Casspi
PF DeMarcus Cousins
C Jason Thompson
I think they’d be thrilled. Lots of young, cheap, promising talent.
Hawks starting lineup:
PG Beno Udrih
SG Joe Johnson
SF Marvin Williams
PF Al Horford
C Samuel Dalembert
Not too shabby. I think this is an improvement over last year. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give them the cap room they might need, but Dalembert’s expiring contract will keep them flexible if it doesn’t work out, or perhaps allow them to resign him for less. Having Udrih would also allow them to drop Bibby for whatever sack of potatoes they can find lying around (and free $6m), and Atlanta management could prove to their fans that they’re trying to win now.
Suns starting lineup:
PG Steve Nash
SG Josh Childress (or Dudley)
SF Hedo Turkoglu (or Grant)
PF Josh Smith
C Robin Lopez
I like it.
Are the Kings trying to get rid of Udrih?
I know he’s not too very happy in Sac, but he was a productive player last year, and they were a better team with him on the floor than off. And they don’t actually NEED the extra cap space. I just don’t see why they’d throw him into the trade? Maybe if they were getting back another draft pick or young player or something?
And actually, I wouldn’t mind Udrih here. The Udrih/Dragic backcourt has what Greg Popovich (may his name be cursed forever) calls “collective experience.” And I am enamored with the idea of Dragic as a shooting guard. Can we somehow ship Clark and get back Beno while we’re doing the rest of this?
This work? http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2d2bbkv
Nash/Udrih
Dragic/Childress
Turk/Grant/Dudley
JSmoove/Warrick
Fropez/Frye
That’s a nasty 11 deep…
I added Udrih to Atlanta because Atlanta won't consider trading Josh Smith unless
they must to keep Horford, or they get both a center and a point guard for him.
Since the Kings have Tyreke Evans, I figured they might be willing to part with Udrih to get that starting lineup.
And I feel like Dragic is a point guard – our point guard of the future. Adding another and moving him to the two isn’t something I’d push for.
Now Atlanta would prefer to move a few million back the other way, too. Bibby, if they could.
I doubt Sac has much interest in Bibby
…and I sure don’t want him here, even if he is from here. Since we’ve already gone crazy and included multiple players from 3 teams, and because we already had a 4-team trade today, I may as well propose this:
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2acw66m
The Hawks move the expendable Bibby and save cap space, the Wolves get something back for disgruntled Flynn, who is a free agent next year anyway, and Sac gets a replacement backup PG who fits with their young core.
I thiiiiink it all works, once the restriction on Dalembert comes off. Whew!
