I would only trade for Turner if we had some sort of future deal in place for beyond this year. I would make the trade for Jeff Green. Boston maybe in full blown tear down mode before too long, making Green available. I would still be interested in Aaron Afflalo also

Just Green. Definitely not Turner or Ariza. I'd consider MKG.

I would trade him for Turner first and foremost if we are serious about winning this year. Turner can score for our bench and do a little bit of everything from the guard and SF spot. he can grab boards, dish dimes, play well in transition, and create his own mid range jumper. He is also long enough to be a decent defender for us if he ever had to play with the first unit. Secondly, id take MKG because he would be a three year guy on his rookie deal so we would actually have more than a rental which i believe Turner would be. MKG can play D and I think trading any bench scorer on this team for a good athlete and defender would be worth it. Jeff Green I would also but i would not rent ariza.

I would take Turner. I am scared of Green's durability and don't want to do any more deals with the Celtics. No way for me on MKG. I think Williams is substantially better than him. How he got picked over Barnes is part of the horror of college player evaluation now in my mind.

Williams has looked reasonably well playing SF especially on the defensive side of the ball. Honestly he is exceeding my expectations. Its just 2 games, but I've been sort of impressed although I had my expectations fairly low. I'd take anyone on that list but Ariza.

Just Green and Turner, but as has been said neither team would give up those guys unless we gave something more up.

Any of them.

But none of those teams would do it as a straight up deal. Why would they?




[Note: Maybe Washington with Ariza would be a possibility. Maybe.]

What makes any of you think Turner has any more value than Williams. He has proven to be an inefficient scorer, and limited on defense.

He doesn't SJM. It's a case of the grass being greener. I would never trade DWill for Turner and haven't heard a compelling argument as to why we should.

At least I don't have to hear about how Adelman knows what he will get from DC, for a day or two at least.
