After reading that T-Mac signed with the Pistons and they're trying to unload their wings, I thought of this trade. ESPN trade machine has the Suns gaining 7 wins off the deal:
Prince (1 yr, $11+ mil)
Maxiell (2 yr, $5 mil)
for
JRich (1 yr, $14+ mil)
Clark (1 yr, $1.8 mil)
Suns - Get two, long PF/SF. Prince can play the PF in a run-n-gun system and Maxiell would be great off the bench. Prince is off the books next year and would also be great trade bait for a PF during the season with his skills and expiring contract.
Pistons - Get a true SG and can move Rip to the 3 with T-Mac coming off the bench for both. JRich and Clark expire at the end of the season opening up cap room and rebuilding tools.
and the cons:
Suns - Lose a big scorer and add ANOTHER small forward. Also, they lower their cap room by trading the expiring contracts for a smaller expriring contract and a player with 2 more years left.
Pistons - Lose their anchor in Prince and energy off the bench in Maxiell.
Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
