Wafer and a 1st for Rudy might work

but I have to agree with some people above, I rather wait for OJ Mayo...

Normally I wouldn't want to trade Bradley for anyone, cuz the kid's young and can play defense...
but if that guy is OJ Mayo, I would trade Wafer, Bradley and some other guy for him

OJ Mayo did say he wants to play with Rondo =)

What exactly would the Grizzlies incentive to make this trade? They just threw a truck load of cash at Mike Conley, already have two rookies who play 2/3 and have a 'stopper' in Tony Allen - the only thing Avery Bradley has shown the ability to do at this point.

They'd be trading a proven player with a high ceiling to add two players who might crack their rotation, only one with potential to significantly improve

Conley/ Bradley
Henry/ TA / Vasquez / Von Wafer
Gay / Sam Young
Randolph
Gasol
ESPN stated in the Daily Dime yesterday that TA is available, along with JJ Reddick and Brendan Haywood. We could use any/all of those guys, although Orlando would never give up JJ to us. Could we bring TA back, and would we want to? Haywood would be a nice pick up, too. As far as Mayo goes, I think we do have the pieces to get him here--if Memphis doesn't want to pay him, anyone they get back for him with comparable talent will want the same money, no? So a first rd pick plus Bradley or Harangody would be great because their salaries are so small, plus they have rebuilding on the cheap with more young players. Question is, whose salary would we need to match Mayo's for trade purposes?

I'd like to think that Brendan Haywood's ridiculous 6-year contract eliminates him as a trade target for us. It doesn't fit within Danny Ainge's 2 year plan - and it's just a bad contract IMO.

JJ would be a nice player, but I like you said Orlando would never deal him to us. I also think they're like to trade VC before Redick.

As far as TA, eh. I'm not all that eager to bring him back. But I guess as long as the "Bring back TA!" chatter is replacing the "Bring back Posey!" cries, I'll happily play along.

Bradley could be enough to entice Memphis for Mayo, but as I've said before: until Bradley gets some minutes and shows what he can do at this level, there's no way really to gauge what his trade value is.

Miami should try to trade Mike Miller for Brendan Haywood later in the season if Haywood truly is available (which I doubt). Haywood is on $6.9 million. Miller + cap filler would get it done financially. I doubt Dallas do much better than a Mike Miller offer give Haywood's age and contract.

I think I'd rather try to get Randy Foye for the bench than Fernandez.

I have no interest in either.

I can't imagine that Dallas would give up Haywood given Chandler's previous health issues. Not unless they're getting a bigger piece than a recovering Mike Miller.

  I might rather just stay pat than get Foye.

I didn't understand the Rudy Fernandez love during the off season thinking him to be a rather average to below average NBA player. Now that he is actually playing worse this year than he did last, I still don't understand why anyone would want him here.

Delonte could be back by the middle to end of January and Wafer, though not great, hasn't been any worse than Fernandez on a per minute basis this year and I just can't see Fernandez getting more minutes than Wafer because he isn't a SF.

Rudy 6.6 PPG on .346 FG%  and .351 3P%, 1.6 APG, 1.5 RPG and .08 TO Pg in 17.5 MPG = Rudy.  Why bother?

Nate Robinson is doing 16.2 MPG.  Shooting .458 on FG% and .397 on 3P% with 7.2 PPG, 2.3 APG, 1.5 RPG AND 1 TO PG.

Translation = WE DON'T NEED HIM WE HAVE BETTER NOW!

Rudy can't fail is a cool CLASH song but we have Nate and Delonte and can pass on this guy.  Another vastly over rated player by this board, Mr. Fernandez is definitely.

ZING!
I think there are better bench players out there.  By size I'd like a 6'8" sf who plays really good defense and is sound skillwise.  If he can hit the 3's great, I don't feel like this is that important as we have so many guys with range.  Let the season go on, lots of teams this year are really bad imo and there are going to be players moving teams soon enough.  Fernandez doesn't bring much to our team.

Forgot to mention that Rudy sucks.

Thought I'd mention it again.
