With a team that has not made the playoffs in 12 years, everyone on the roster should be tradeable if it would improve the team. I like Baron, J-Rich and Biedrens; however, this team is not a winning team.

Which is why at times, you have to think, are you doing this to bring more fans in? or are you doing this to build a contender? Now I love Jason, I love Baron, and I love AB. And the fans do too, Jrich is the fan favorite. But if we have to trade him to a team to receive a star in return to make this team a legit threat, then by god do it.

Agreed!

The talent's there... but, as always, AI is just a blackhole. The guy gets his assist numbers, but he's a chemistry killer and always has been. People are creaming over an Iverson/Carmelo combination... but Iverson failed to have successful partnerships with Jerry Stackhouse, Chris Webber, and Keith Van Horn (who were all 20 PPG scorers prior to teaming with Iverson). What's different about Carmelo?

The only time in history when Iverson brought success to a team was when he took the Sixers to the Finals (once).

I'd be ok for trading anyone. I wouldn't keep a single player on our roster out of the right trade.

I mean, there are only a handful of untradable players in this league. Wade, Nowitzky, Lebron, Duncan, Dwight Howard... I'm probably forgetting a few (no, not Kobe or Nash... Kobe because I'd trade him for any of the above and Nash because, well, he's getting old...).

And you might as well add Greg Oden to that list, right now.

Which is why no one will trade their low picks... so Warriors fans should stop fantasicing over getting Oden or Durant. The only possible way Golden State gets Oden is by pure, blind luck. And that means missing the playoffs... and still ending up with the #1 pick, despite having a better record than virtually all of the lottery teams.

Won't happen.

I'd trade Baron, Andris, and Richardson for Oden... but nobody would take that.

No. Garnett's in his 12th year. Baron and Andris are in their 8th and 3rd, respectively. The average length for an NBA superstar's career is 15 seasons.

I would not trade 12 more seasons of Andris and 7 more seasons of Baron... for 3 more seasons of Garnett.

But Baron and Harrington for Garnett? In a heartbeat.
