trades

[Christopher Gee <cgee@BGNet.bgsu.edu>]

I love talking about all the trade and draft situations but please lets
only talk about realistic trades.  Someone mentioned a trade that included
Hamer: let's be real.  No team needs Hamer or waants him so what's the
point of including him.  Also trades where we get rid of some garbage.  No
teams in the league want the Celtics garbage.  When you are the worst team
in the league, it is because you don't have a lot of talented players.

Also, trading for Baker is going to take a lot more than the ones
suggested so far.  He is an all-star that should get better.  I would love
to have Baker, but trading Radja and the #6 for Baker and the #10, just
won't happen, not in this years draft at least.

Trades about Duncan are just absurd.  Look at what it took for GS to get
Webber from Orlando.  We can't just offer a package of picks in a mediocre
draft and a bunch of players who aren't that good.

For someone who asked about Daniels.  I saw him play about 6 times this
past year.  He has all the physical skills: 6-4 195?, can handle the ball,
great passer, exceptional leaper,  and has a great love for the game,
excellent attitude and will be a very good pro.  I think it is too much of
a risk at #6 for the sole reason that he hasn't played against quality
competition as the MAC isn't the greatest league.  I think he'll be a
great pick at #11 or so and would love to be able to trade sdown and get
him there.  The games I saw him play, he dominated and was all over the
court, hitting threes passing, and taking to and above the rim.
