If Muhammed takes over Deke's job, he could be going to Toronto, Minnesota or, Portland

I hope Zeke doesn't just pawn him off though, hopefully we can get a decent player in return. If not, I say we are better off keeping him.

Seriously, I hope he gets traded. I love Deke, both as a NBA personality and as a player (albeit the dude has seen better days). And after next year when he retires, what are you left with?

Here's the way I look at it: Is Deke gonna be a piece that brings the NBA championship to you? No. He has seen his better days; however, he could be the final piece for a team out west. Why not trade him for something that is actually valuable.

I've stated my trade a long time ago in another thread: Deke for Kandi-man.

I agree but I hope we get something of decent value in return, like a pick or something. I don't want to just trade him for someone that will be buried on our bench for the rest of the year, because then we would be better off to just keep Deke. Maybe we can somehow land Olowakandi by giving them Mutombo (and maybe something else)?

Lol, same trade I was coming up with. Yea if Minnesota would trade the Kandi man for Deke I would do it in a hearbeat.

SuperNYK992, I know you are a new poster here, so as a Mod I'm gonna let this one go. We'll throw it off to still being early in the morning and not kill you for suggesting the above.

it's OK. The other thing that happens with a trade is that you have to match up salaries. Zack ain't goin anywhere.

Rockets are shopping Francis and that they're really interested in sending him and Mo Taylor to Atlanta for Rasheed and Jason Terry, another base year player who's making considerably less than Francis.

I really hope that doesn't happen, because then we probably don't get Rasheed. I don't think that Atlanta wants Francis though since they are in rebuilding mode right now. But hey, you never know.

If you are talking about the offseason, the Hawks are gonna release him to save money. The reason why the traded for Rasheed was so that Rasheed could hopefully sell them enough tickets until the rest of the year, then at the end of the year they plan to release him so that they can save a lot of money and go into a complete rebuilding mode.
