Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: CavsGM on June 02, 2005, 04:36:23 PM Speedy Claxton
Magic 2009 1st rounder for Benjamin Piatowski Kareem Ratliff Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: PacersGM on June 02, 2005, 04:38:34 PM i agree
reason: claxton will give me a good backup at pg and his contract is short and the first is maybe worth something. Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: CavsGM on June 02, 2005, 04:41:30 PM Not quite as controversial as the last trade involving Cleveland, but a significant one nonetheless. I just love Piatowski, I've tried to get him for a while. Claxton was not really needed on the team, and the 1st rounder will not be too high, hopefully. Ratliff is a decent prospect as well.
Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: GoldenStateGM on June 02, 2005, 04:43:38 PM This trade definitely helps both teams...
Ratliff is a talented offensive player, with a B potential. If his defense gets up he could be good starter. Piatkowski is a SF with a B Handle, which is quite unusual.... Claxton is a nice 15-20 mpg point guard to have as a back-up, with the decent handle and defense.

Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: CavsGM on June 02, 2005, 04:52:38 PM Oh, sorry about that. We just figured that it was before 5 so we could get a trade in.
Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: NetsGM on June 02, 2005, 04:54:31 PM Oh, you can. I just like to bitch :)
Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: RaptorsGM on June 02, 2005, 04:57:15 PM I really like Piatowski, The B handles for a Sf is great. Could possibly back up at PG, and his 6'7 frame would create alot of mismatches. I think he could succeed at the 1/2/3.
Ratliff also has the potential to be a decent bench player or possibly combo guard. But I like it more for the Pacers. The first could be great - it will depend on how the Cavs team reacts after losing the King. And Claxton could start for some teams.

Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: RaptorsGM on June 02, 2005, 05:02:02 PM Ah, touche.
THen i like it even more for the Pacers :) Title: Cavs/Pacers Trade Post by: CavsGM on June 02, 2005, 05:07:36 PM I had to give up the first to get the two good young players that I'm getting. I doubt that it will be lottery, Orlando has a good team.
