Get BIG AL back home! Original trade idea:
TO BOS: Big Al, Daniels, Hansbrough
TO CHA: Turner, Zeller, Olynyk, Young, PHI 2016 second round pick
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why for CHA?- It's time for the Hornets to be realistic--they're a lottery team. With MKG going down before the season, their playoff hopes seem very slim. With Al Jefferson (30 years old) becoming a Free Agent next offseason, the Hornets may be inclined to trade him; ensuring they get something in return.
- Zeller & Turner can be re-signed depending on how CHA's 2016 draft and Free Agency goes.
- Olynyk & Young can be kept while CHA continues to add lottery talent to their team. They bring more shooting to the team.
- Philly's 2016 second round pick could end up being a steal in the 2016 draft for CHA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why for BOS?- We need an upgrade at C.
- He has GREAT footwork in the post
- He can block shots
- Gives us more of an inside presence--MORE REBOUNDS
- He helps our playoff chances this year
- The team gets to build chemistry sooner, instead of waiting to get Jefferson in FA.
-None of the players involved in the trade are long term pieces for BOS (PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG JAMES YOUNG!)
Thoughts???
***UPDATED TRADE SCENARIO:
TO BOS: Big Al, Roberts
TO CHA: Lee, Young, PHI 2016 second round pick
I might even consider throwing in Turner if Rozier, Hunter, & Jerebko prove they're capable of utilizing his minutes effectively.
