WraithSentinel Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php...17486&start=495 A Detroit radio station is reporting (or reported) that the Pistons have made an offer for a s&t of Smith. Basically it is Prince and Amir for Josh. Take this for whatever it is. It was made by a respectful member on that page. Now the radio station could be another story. That would be an interesting trade. I am at the stage right now where I preparing myself for Smoove actually moving on. I am not buying into the Smoove vs Woodson rumors. There might be some problems if this team has not reach an agreement by now with Smove. This thing should have been taken care of already. Either ASG is lowballing Smoove or him and his agents are off their rocker asking for $70+ mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 19, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I was just reading that same forum. Apparently, the same radio station was speculating that Biedrins could be had with the MLE. Doesn't sound like they're exactly "in the know." That's a pitiful offer, to be sure.

Frenzy Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 idk i kinda like this trade,i dont want to see josh go,but just like you,im preparing myself to see him go.Amir is young and talented,but there really is no point unless he's gonna play Center.Horf would still probably start at Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 19, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Now that there are no interested teams with cap room, trading Smith for anything less than a starting center would be a HUGE mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithSentinel Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I didn't read that part. It sort of throws this rumor credibility out the window if they think Andris is getting that kind of money. Andris is likely to get Bogut money.

West Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Am I the only one that doesn't like this trade? I like Prince's defense.. but other than that.. I think he is way overrated... and Amir Johnson?! what has he done...add a 1st round pick or Rodney.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I agree with that. Pistons fans are very high on Amir. I know we as fans can get blinded by our own players. They say he is 6'11 and will turn 22 next year. I am basically saying Amir/Horford PF/C combo might not be that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 19, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I definitely don't like this offer, and I'm sure it's not one of the better ones Sund has been receiving. For one, you want to trade him to the WC if you have a choice. For two, you don't want another SF if you trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Majority of Hawks fans are not going to like this deal if there is any truth to it. To be honest I do like this deal. It might have more to do with the longer it takes to get Smoove contract done the more I see him leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 19, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Another Pistons' board is reporting that Arron Afflalo is mentioned in the deal as well. One thing we have to take into consideration is that the Detroit media is very active - not NY active, but close. They have the audience necessary to make up crap and sell papers.

WraithSentinel Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Fact that Espn and NY media isn't reporting it. I am willing to let it peak my interest. Right now I am not sold enough on it. There is just nothing else going on around the Hawks beside SL. At least it give us something to talk about.

Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 19, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 It's too bad the Atlanta media doesn't give us something to talk about. (In their defense - it sounds like no one knows anything about Smith and Childress). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Prince, Amir, and Afflalo aren't enough to make me excited, but it's better than losing him for nothing. The big problem is that we either have to move Marvin to PF, to the bench, or trade him. That would mean 2 new starters next year and starting our chemistry from scratch. I could see Woody wanting some Detroit trained players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurider05 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Could Marvin play PF. With his mid range jumper he could be almost like Karl Malone (who never really played in the post). His rebounding would have to improve but I don't know he may can do it. I am know way saying that MArvin is or will ever be as good as Malone.

EazyRoc Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 That is a terrible trade, and I'm really thinking it's made up. If it was Rasheed Wallace, Arron Afflalo, and Amir Johnson , I might think about it. However, Detroit would still have to throw in a draft pick to make me want to trade Josh Smith. EDIT: You know what..scratch that. I don't know what I was thinking. The whole idea behind getting Rasheed Wallace would be to allow Smith to play 3, but if he gets traded, then it's pointless.

tmac13 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Amir is listed as 6'9" and 210. He is very athletic but very raw. I have absolutely no interest in this trade if there is any truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawsonsCreek Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Have Det add a #1 and I would do that for Amir and Prince. Then I would ship Marvin off for Bierdens (via sign and trade). Bibby Johnson Prince Horford Bierdens Law/Claxton Richardson/Jackson Childress Solo/Johnson Zaza That would be a REAL nice team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibby Johnson Prince Horford Bierdens Law/Claxton Richardson/Jackson Childress Solo/Johnson Golden State just signed Maggette and already has Wright and Harrington who all play basically the same position as Marvin. I doubt the have any interest in him. Zaza That would be a REAL nice team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
