I accept the trade. I just took MoPete out of my rotation and i liked what I saw, but I wanted better young bigmen to play in my rotation. I've pretty much accomplished that with the addition of Lopez (and May the other day). Also, I like Chalmers' upside.

I don't like Scalebrine's 2nd year salary...BUT I think Bass was gonna pick up his option anyway, so I only take on about 2 million that year because of Scalebrine.

I will cut Patrick O'Bryant and/or Aaron Gray, or maybe even Darko if this deal goes through (could have to cut two if Barea signs with me).

Thanks.

[shayan - GSW]

i accept, with this trade i can put peterson as my starting SG to shake things up. Also, i get bass to replace lopez

[Detroit Pistons]

Im going to have to think about this long and hard
I dont get this deal for LAC, yes I understand your liking what your seeing without Mo Pete in the lineup but this is how im looking at the deal

Chalmers,Scalabrine<Mo Pete
Lopez=Bass


Scalabrine has an iffy contract and Chalmers isnt proven yet, I also still think Bass is equal or maybe better than Lopez. If Bass were taken out I would feel somewhat better about the trade but for now I'm going to have to think on this one

[Utah Jazz]

I accept. I see no problem with it. Lopez is a nice, developing big, and Chalmers is a good player too. Bass, maybe shouldn't be there, but LAC has a ton of cap space to take Scalabrine without problem, and he also has no need for Mo Pete, since he's rebuilding.

[Los Angeles Clippers]

I'll give you the Lopez = Bass thing, though I'd much rather have Lopez.

But Chalmers is already doing some special things.
Season Averages for Mario - 9.5, 2.7 reb, 4.4 ast, 2.1 STL!, just 1.8 TO, 1.5 3ptper game

Compare to MoPete - 7.1, 3.0 reb, .5 ast, .6 stl, .7 3per game...

Mario starting, MoPete sort of starting, sort of not...all he does is score, and even not doing that all that well.

I'll take Chalmers ALL day long on that.

i could see the ratings evening out by next ratings change honestly...and after that it would only favor me.

[Detroit Pistons]

I understand, but Mo Pete has been consistent for a long time and is still playing decent on a championship caliber team

Chalmers is playing on a sub-par Miami team were he can just dish the ball off to wade, marion, and beasley, he also dosent have any compition at the PG spot

Im still 50/50 though, Ill vote tm

[Oklahoma City Thunder]

Ill accept. MO Pete is not playing well in real life and that most likely will coincide in a ratings decrease at the end of the year.

Chalmers got passed on by every team in the league in the draft (was picked in 2nd round), and had to earn his way into the starting gig. He was pretty damn good in college as well.

Feel free to vote how you'd like, but please don't worry about me. I have a good idea about what I'm doing.

Thanks.

[Orlando Magic]

I think I will accept. Alot of this trade is projected talent so I don't think anything is for certain enough for me to reject.

[Los Angeles Clippers]

3 accepts and a ? from Detroit. Seems like we usually only get about 5 CMs to vote on these trades...I usually am one of them lol, so who's gonna be the last to vote on this one?

[Detroit Pistons]

I'll go ahead and accept, LAC knows what he is doing with his team; I still dont think Bass needed to be involved but it isnt bad enough to reject
