Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: Iverson2Korver43 on February 03, 2005, 01:00:05 AM Sonics Trade:
Vladimir Radmanovic Rashard Lewis Jerome James Danny Fortson 2006 1st Round Pick Pistons Trade: Ben Wallace Rasheed Wallace Antonio McDyess Tayshaun Prince 2006 2nd Round Pick Trade Accepted... Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: SonicsGM on February 03, 2005, 01:06:13 AM I Agree:
Big trade here. Ben will play PF right next to Zydrunas with Sheed at the 3, Murray at the 2, and the combination of Snow and Daniels at the point. Of the bench, Karl Malone, Prince, Traylor, Collison and Ridnour. I am taking a chance, but I think this will work out. Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: Iverson2Korver43 on February 03, 2005, 01:10:33 AM I was either going to go "get a superstar route" or "rebuild"... and i obviously chose the rebuild route... this will give me 2 1st rounders in '06 and a pile of cap space... planning on moving Radman to the 4 and play with 4 gunners on the court...
Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: RaptorsGM on February 03, 2005, 07:15:38 AM Argh. Sonics, at least have the decency to let me know that talks between us are done. Maintaining talks with me, then all the sudden trading all the guys we were talking about, well, that just aint right.
Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: SixersGM on February 03, 2005, 08:16:35 AM I like this one more for the sonics. It might have been a better situation if ray ray is still on their team. Imagine a frontcourt of big ben and sheed to play with ray ray... :D

Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: LakersGM-old on February 03, 2005, 04:30:15 PM Agreed SonicsGM. (agreeing with RaptorsGM). You did the EXACT same thing to me.
Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: SonicsGM on February 03, 2005, 09:06:37 PM There is nothing wrong with talking to multiple teams at the same time to get a true reading of your player's worth.
I appreciate your offers, but I decided to go another way. You cannot fault me for anything. Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: LakersGM-old on February 03, 2005, 09:56:00 PM Yes we can we dont blame you for talking about other teams but you should have told us that players we were trying to get were involved in another deal. You made it sound like our deal was pretty close to being done.
Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: RaptorsGM on February 03, 2005, 10:01:49 PM Sonics, making a trade works takes alot of time.
The trade I offered you worked by only 200K, and I spent alot of time trying to get it to work. You told me "I'll trade anything but Big Z for Vince" and "I like it man I'll get back to you by tommorow" Well, you didn't get back to me. I like to think of this as a business. And doing things like that make me hesitant towards putting in alot of time when discussing trades with you. Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: SonicsGM on February 03, 2005, 10:13:28 PM Ah, sorry...I thought that I did. I couldn't pass up the addition of Big Ben and Sheed. It was a better offer.
I just couldn't pick up Jalen's contract. Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: RaptorsGM on February 03, 2005, 10:18:26 PM I understand, and I accept your apology.
Just consider that some of us get way to excitied about potential trades than we probably should. Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: JazzGM-old on February 04, 2005, 07:30:15 PM sonics have a hell of a frontcourt
Title: Pistons - Sonics Trade... - processed Post by: SixersGM on February 05, 2005, 02:44:17 AM But their backcourt is awful..
