Well, that's a contradictory statement. How is MT the SG for this team if he's played as a chucking 6th man and Reke is not played as the PG next to him? I would like to see a Reke/Mt backcourt, but if the organization isn't willing to do it....Originally Posted by SacTownKid

Our franchise literally is about to rise from the ashes.
id be all over this oneWell obviously Dudley will be a throw in the Gortat deal I also suggested.Robinson/IT/Thornton for Gortat/Dudley should do it.
I am agreeable to this proposal if we can also get Drummond to get our front court bigger.
Thornton and TRob
for
Prince and Drummond.
That's one of those things where its impossible. We had our chance at Drummond. We missed. Detroit isn't going to give up now. Its liek the Derrick Favors situation. Too much potential.

Seriously this team isn't working and if there isn't going to be a coach or GM change, there has to be a roster shakeup. Losing a smaller guard and adding a real forward should be simple enough that even Smart can't mess it up.
Thornton is the team's 3rd best player (depending on which versions of Reke/Cuz show up) and that's great, but it's silly for people to want to hold on to him for that reason. That's exactly why you move him, because his value is high and isn't going to change. He's paid fairly and at a salary big enough to net a solid veteran.

Prince for Thorton would solve a number of problems.
I will always be a Kings fan, even after the day they die.
What a terrifying trade. Despite the fact that Prince is hardly an upgrade over what we have now, you don't go trading young cost-controlled talent like Thornton for a veteran who will be in a retirement home by the time our team is ready to make a playoff run.
This team's window to at least show some promise is now. Reke/Cuz will be deciding their future in the next couple years. Trob is right behind. JT/Hayes are in their prime.
The trade will not affect the bigs, so the comparison is
Brooks(or IT)/Reke/Prince with a Jimmer/Salmons/JJ bench vs
Brooks(or IT)/Reke/Salmons with a Jimmer/Thornton/JJ bench.
The first one looks a lot better, especially considering how the bad we've seen the status quo actually is.

I would personally do Jason Maxiell and Prince for Thornton/Garcia

His first game winner. Sophomore. Vs the Spurs.
As Shaq says it best, " One great shot deserves another."
Not sure that Prince can handle taller PFs in the league.....before any trade we have to become Smartless...
This is the only team whose top 3 players can't or don't play together often or well. Yet Brooks is fine as a SG next to Reke apparently. Strange world.

Thornton for Prince is a no brainer. I would even help MT pack. Balances are team nicely and adds veteran championship leadership. We have plenty of kids, time to get some grown-ups to help them get over the hump.
Only grown-ups (vets) can survive a coach who cannot coach. That doesn't mean the team will be a world beater but it will be better.
Upwards and onwards.
