Anyway I´ve heard a similiar rumor but with tayshaun instead of rip. Which makes sense cause rip is untradeable but wouldn´t be as good for the pistons. I´d still do it though.

So, he wouldn't be available for Minnesota. I don't think the Timberwolves would have any interest in that trade. Jefferson is way more valuable than Hamilton.</p> Zeiram, the rumors are the Nets will take Favors. So, he wouldn’t be available for Minnesota.

Your development argument makes sense — as long as the rookie big can develop into something. If there isn’t a player the Pistons are confident will develop into a reliable starter, it just doesn’t work.

And I like Atkins more than the next guy, but as a rebuilding team, the Pistons can’t evaluate potential moves with him in mind.

And why do you say the MLE signee will be someone who didn’t work out for his previous team? Five years, $33.6 million should get a solid player.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree about who’s calling the shots for the Warriors.

Lawson doesn’t have to be better than Stuckey for this trade to make sense. Lawson would allow Stuckey to play more shooting guard, the position he played best last year.

Collins isn’t as good a shooter as Lawson. And Collins’ weight issues worry me.
