Mission Impossible: Trade Jamal Tinsley

[cordobes]

OK, I`ve played with the trade machine and tried to combine several rumours. The result was a 4-way-trade. I know they rarely happen and it probably needs some tweaking, so don`t shoot me, it`s just an idea^^

Throw in Detroit`s #1 and Cleveland`s 2009 #1 to Indiana.

Denver gets 4 starters, Cleveland gets Rip Hamilton for expirers, Detroit gets C. Anthony, and Indiana loses Granger, but gets Draft Picks and expirers for Tinsley`s and Murphy`s ugly contracts.

Why would Larry Bird do this? Give up one of his only two legit NBA players (3 with TJ), and the only one with franchise player potential, for three overpriced veterans that can't play with O'Brien?

Danny Granger is good, but not a franchise player, imo. Heīs already 25, so thereīs noz much room for improvement. With this trade, the would have a starting five of

Camby
Smith
Draft Pick (Joe Alexander?)
Dunleavy
Ford

and millions of cap space next summer. Thatīs a playoff team in the east.

I like the enthusiasm but also think there's no way in heck the pacers do this.  If those contracts (smith, camby, wally) were up in a year i think you might have something cooking, but they're not up for 3, 2, and years respectively.

Also, though dumars gets his guy in 'Melo, they are still very old (McDyss, Billups, Sheed) and basically you marginalize their only starter who still has years infront of him (prince).

a TP for the effort though

p.s.
i still like my indi-portland (and the rational) trade more, hehe.

Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine for Jamal Tinsley


The Pacers need a low post presence since JO is gone and Scal fits the description. And a Tony Allen / Danny Granger tandem looks terrific for their future.

Scal a low post presence? LOL

Anyway, I'd rather keep Scal and Tony than have Tinsley on the team.

When I first read the title of this thread I was thinking how in the world could the Pacers trade Tinsley, and then you guys go and remind me of our old pal Mark Blount.  I guess there is always another bad contract out there to trade for if you look hard enough.  I wonder if Mark understands he is dead weight on any salary roster he is on, or if he thinks teams keep trading his contract around the league because they really like him.

Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins for Troy Murphy, Jamaal Tinsley, and Shawne Williams

Randpolph, Murphy, and Tinsley are all overpaid for 3 more years.

I'd rather give a roster spot to Mr. Jo Jo White than to Tinsley. Seriously, this is not a joke.

I got a good one.

Maybe Indy would get a draft pick back.

Is Nene insured?

I've got one that is pretty straight forward. Tinsley is a useful player, even though he is a headcase and doesn't play more than 50 games a year. So, I think that Indy would want either a semi-useful player or a useless player with a shorter deal.

Indiana receives:
Brian Cardinal (2-yrs @ 6M)
2nd round draft pick

Minni receives:
Jamaal Tinsley (3-yrs @ 6M)

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=130~1024&teams=11~16&te=&cash=

Cardinal has a trade restriction and can't be dealt with anyone else, but I think this is pretty even. The second rounder would be a decent pick, since it is near the top of the round most likely.
