Ersan Ilyasova available for a late first rounder?

[indeedproceed]

Heard from more than one team that Ersan Ilyasova is available in exchange for a 1st rounder (even late) or a 2012 1st.

Celtics Trade: #25, Cash
Bucks Trade: Ersan "Illy" Ilyasova

Ilyasova is a 'stretch' 4, who rebounds and defends better than Baby. He had an off year last season, but he's young still (24 yrs old), and he adds another shooter to Boston's arsenal.

Plus, he kinda looks like James Franco:



We get that guy, and let this guy waddle off to greener pastures

I'd be much happier with Ilyasova than Tolliver.

I'm down. He's also in the last year of his deal. He always played well against us.

I'd be surprised if Milwaukee would do the deal, but if so, yeah, absolutely.

[GreenFaith1819]

If Glen must leave, I could live with Ersan.

Ha, Ilyasova was my Waterloo.

Binky Alert!

Certainly would be an upgrade over BBD in my eyes.

I think this would be a non-brainer.... assuming Ilyasova is oklay from a health perspective.

I've always liked Tolliver too, since he had a training camp/preseason with Cleveland a few years ago. Always thought he had NBA talent in him, just needed to improve that jump-shot. Great work-rate, underrated passer. Is he available for a first round too?

[hpantazo]

this is a no brainer, Ersan has a ton of talent and height. For a late 1st rounder it's a steal.

Rumor has it that he is looking for a buyout on the last year of his deal to return to Europe. I'll try to find the link, saw it yesterday.

Edit: Hoopshype rumors from 6/21:

Sources close to the player said that the Turkish forward will try to buy out his contact with the Bucks and that's why Regal Barcelona has contacted Ilyasova. SPORT.es

Lucky, two things:

1) WHy do you gotta be the screen door in my submarine?

2) How'd you come across a link in Spanish?

It's seriously slow these days at work. I'm refreshing Hoopshype's rumor section almost on a minute-by-minute basis. They listed the link.

BTW, I thought of James Franco too. If Franco and Josh Hartnett had a love child, it'd be Ersan.

For trade rumors, I can't stress how incredible twitter is as a resource.
