Comments on: Tom Ziller: Rodney Stuckey ‘must be traded for the good of the NBA’ http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/12/tom-ziller-rodney-stuckey-must-be-traded-for-the-good-of-the-nba/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:53:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: tim http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/12/tom-ziller-rodney-stuckey-must-be-traded-for-the-good-of-the-nba/comment-page-1/#comment-109923 tim Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:41:13 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/?p=12182#comment-109923 how abut you trade Stuckey and Prince to Houston for our expiring contracts (Cook, Aldrich, Patterson and Douglas) + a second round pick     <strong>Rodney Stuckey</strong>: Very big PG who can guard PGs, SGs and SFs. Can get to the paint with ease cause of his strong build and height. Scoring 10 pts a game with 4 assist coming off the bench. Has 88 assist to 28 turnovers so he take care of the ball. Would look good in a three man guard set with Lin, Stuckey and Harden all in the game at the ssame time. <strong>Tayshaun Prince</strong>: A talented all-around player.Good coordination and shooting skills.Long arms... Looks good handling the ball... Extremely athletic... Can drive to the basket... Excellent defender... Great durability... Never misses a game. Since Detroit is a bottom feeder of the NBA why not take some good players from them so they can likely rebuild. So this trade would work: Outgoing: Cook (Expiring) Aldrich (Expiring) Patterson (Tradeable piece) Douglas (Expiring) = <strong>$9,701,062</strong> Incoming: Tayshaun Prince Rodney Stuckey = <strong>$15,264,045</strong> So with the 9.7 million going out with the 7 million in cap space this trade can happen and it will make this team even better than the players that are going out would. Why Detroit would do this trade?? Simple, they get to move players who are shadowing the young players like Daye, Jerebko and Knight progression even though Joe Dumars is not smart as a GM Why Houston would do this trade??? To sure up our bench so we can make a push towards the playoff this year and what are we actually giving up 9 million in Expiring contracts!!! how abut you trade Stuckey and Prince to Houston for our expiring contracts (Cook, Aldrich, Patterson and Douglas) + a second round pick 

   Rodney Stuckey:

Very big PG who can guard PGs, SGs and SFs. Can get to the paint with ease cause of his strong build and height. Scoring 10 pts a game with 4 assist coming off the bench. Has 88 assist to 28 turnovers so he take care of the ball. Would look good in a three man guard set with Lin, Stuckey and Harden all in the game at the ssame time.

Tayshaun Prince:

A talented all-around player.Good coordination and shooting skills.Long arms… Looks good handling the ball… Extremely athletic… Can drive to the basket… Excellent defender… Great durability… Never misses a game.

Since Detroit is a bottom feeder of the NBA why not take some good players from them so they can likely rebuild.

So this trade would work:

Outgoing:

Cook (Expiring)
Aldrich (Expiring)
Patterson (Tradeable piece)
Douglas (Expiring)

= $9,701,062

Incoming:

Tayshaun Prince

Rodney Stuckey

= $15,264,045

So with the 9.7 million going out with the 7 million in cap space this trade can happen and it will make this team even better than the players that are going out would.

Why Detroit would do this trade?? Simple, they get to move players who are shadowing the young players like Daye, Jerebko and Knight progression even though Joe Dumars is not smart as a GM

Why Houston would do this trade??? To sure up our bench so we can make a push towards the playoff this year and what are we actually giving up 9 million in Expiring contracts!!!

Time to look to this years draft and this summer and hope that our cap room brings in a quality addition(unlike the LAST time we had lots of cap room, when we took a certain two scrubs from UConn) Sorry man, this seasons done already!

Stuckey, regardless of what anyone wants to think, IS better than Calderon. Bigger, quicker, more athletic, better scorer, and a little better on defense too. I'm just sayin that it's possible I don't see why we at least couldnt try it. After JoeD made that BG/Magg trade last summer, it's apparent that clearing cap room for this summer is a priority for him. Why not try and swap him to Toronto for Jose Calderons expiring contract?

The only reason to keep Prince would be if you believed that he has enough left to be a solid contributor by the time the Pistons return to contention (whenever that might be). Even if that would be true, trading Prince may be the best plan. But if it is not the case, he should definitely be sent off for any, even minimal, value in return.

Stuckey is not an amazing player. But he is a solid rotation player. He would be one of the best 8 players on almost any team in the league. In other words, there is well under a 5% chance that a second round pick would yield a better player.

If his assists and steals (3.4 pg) hold up against Big East competion I'd be all about drafting him and Nate Wolters, let stuckey's contract run through the end and by the end of 2014 have a backcourt rotation of Williams, Knight and Wolters plus a SG to be named later hopefully a big one got in FA this offseason, when we have 20 million to play with or next with about 16 million if we let contracts run there course.  I still would like MCW like you said his shooting numbers aren’t on par with Rondo or Kidd, but they are on par with Deron Williams, Greivis Vasquez, and Raymond Felton.
