Premium Member Diesel Posted June 4, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 It looks like Joey D is on the phone with Isiah as we speak... Trying to nail down a deal for Rasheed. I've also read of rumblings of a Rip Halmilton for Zach Randolph trade although I can't see PTL needing Halmilton. However, the biggest news was what i read about Billups. He might go cheaply. The real question is, could Woody engineer it so that Billups wanted to come to Atlanta? If we could only get rid of Speedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidSomerset Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I can't think of a better possible offseason than this... Trade #3/Speedy for Lamarcus or Gasol...Use the #11 pick on Crit...Sign Billups... Oh good lord in heaven that would be SWEET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money has to be equal with both trading partners if the trade puts you over the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Isiah has also offered Washington state natives Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford to SEA for a sign and trade for Rashard Lewis (when it can become official).

I just don't see it happening, they still have a great squad for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 One thing that was very obvious as you watched Detroit, their age is catching up with them. They have a lot of maturity and bringing all those guys back next year will not happen. They have to make some changes. Don't think we could afford Billups and he'd have to approve a trade or agree to sign as a FA. Just read where he said he wanted to retire a Piston.

Duff_Man Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Detroit is about done. They need to keep Hamilton and send Sheed and Chauncey packing. They were two plays away from getting swept and hell, it could have been 6-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
