Title: ed davis for courtney lee and 2nd
Post by: Tr1boy on February 09, 2013, 10:36:55 AM
Would Danny pull the trigger if Memphis gave us Davis that would highly help our need for another front court player? I hate to give up lee, who has been playing tremendous d and pitching In on offense, but what can u do? At this rate kg is going to burn out. He is working hard out there at times trying to take on two front court players, while bass just does nothing.

Davis has not played much since his arrival. Memphis is playing Arthur's and daye much more. They are lacking balance from the bench and could really use a sg. Would do u this trade?

Same, this is a horrible trade for us and Ed isn't even leaving Memphis...

Why would Memphis do that? Rudy Gay for Tayshaun and Lee? No young assets? Fail trade for Memphis, if they did this! No!

Why would Memphis trade the key player they picked up in the Gay deal for Lee? Makes no sense. When they trade Randolph in the offseason Davis is going to be the one to step in his place.

actually if you asked me this question pre-Rondo injury, I would say yes

but since Rondo went down, and Courtney Lee is playing out of his mind...I say nay!!

Bos 2013 1st rounder? I'd do that I think. Ed Davis is worth a gamble I think.

Although I would love getting out from under Bass contract & Ed Davis being better longterm, it's a lateral move for this year & wouldn't help us much at all for the 2013 playoffs. On top of that we lose a 1st rounder towards the future? I probably wouldn't make that deal. Now for Davis & a 2nd certainly!

Nobody can gaurd that guy! But they are perfect in fact that maybe u can make him take bad shots from the constant pressure from Bradley/Lee to where he basically stops himself. He's combustible!

I think AB is too small for Westbrook.  Might be ok for a short time I guess

Why does an inch difference in listed height make you say that?

AB has done amazing work on Wade, who is certainly bigger than Westbrook (both height and strength).

I've seen him defend guys as big as Carmello on the odd occasion.  He defends bigger than his size.

Anyway I wouldnt do this.  To me Lee is now on the list with AB of guys I wouldmt trade unless it was the type of redidiculous deal you'd never get. Watching us play the Lakers the other day, we were able rotate a number of guys on him - Bradley's, Lee, Green and Pierce - and they all did a solid job of forcing him to take tough, contested shots. We don't lose all of our defensive pressure the instant AB or lee goes to the bench, our defensive Roth allows ud to pressure the ball constantly...and its a big reason why we are still winning despite Rondo being out.
