Now the first quarter of the season has over, there are several teams right now hoping and searching for some helps to fill the needs of their teams via trade. Here are some teams badly needed for help.
1. Detroit Pistons
Words around the league that a trade rumor involving Rip Hamilton for Carlos Boozer swap is on the rise. Recently the Pistons try to go small as Wallace plays the five, Prince moves to the four, Hamilton at the three, Iverson at the two guard and Stuckey at the point. The result? Well, they are now currently at number five at the standing in the East and 9 games behind their Central Division rival, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
If this deal will go, it answers the problem for Detroit at the four position. They will put back Rasheed at the center position and bring back Prince at the three. For the Pistons, they will end up at the summer of 2009 with lots of millions to offer for some coveted free agents thanks to the expiring contracts of Rasheed Wallace, Allen Iverson and Carlos Boozer. For sure they will resign Boozer.
For the Jazz, Paul Millsap overshadowed Boozer as a replacement when he goes down with an injury. Millsap numbers are now close to Boozer’s. Hamilton can create shots for him and able to free Deron Williams to score. They could make Brewer a sixth man to provide more firepower from the bench.
2. Toronto Raptors
The trade for Jermaine O’neal could have been solved the puzzle, but turns out to be out of shape to fit in to become a contender. Rank number three in the east last season, now they are fighting to get out on the eleventh place with a 12-17 record. The Raptors needs to shake up the three (small forward position). Rumors pointed out for a Jason Kapono-J.R. Smith swap, but the Nuggets immediately turned down the offer. Sources reported that the Raptors were talking to the Warriors for a possible deal. Of course, Maggette is the one the Warriors want to trade, they also have lots of wing players and Don Nelson loves European Big Men. He could help Bargnani to become a premier NBA player.
3. Golden State Warriors
Once Maggette is back from injury, everyone knows he is on the trading block and other sources told that Stephen Jackson also wants out. But the best move is to keep Jackson and be the leader for this young Warriors team. The Dallas Mavericks were one of the team desperate to land Maggette to help their wing position. It is now on the part of Warriors who they wanted in return from the Mavs.
4. Chicago Bulls
They landed Derrick Rose as the top draft pick to help the point guard situation. Hinrich, their former point guard is out with an injury and Rose playing like a veteran. They have lots of forwards playing at the five and no true center at sight. What they are needed is a veteran center that can help Rose. The availability of Brad Miller could benefit the young Bulls. The Sacramento Kings are actively shopping Brad Miller, but adding Kenny Thomas contract makes the proposed deal too long to get it done. The Bulls could offer Drew Gooden primarily with his expiring contract and together with Tyrus Thomas or Joakim Noah.
5. Denver Nuggets
The loss of Marcus Camby made the Nuggets who will take his spot. But with the emergence of Nene, and the acquisition of Chauncey Billups for Iverson, they become a force to be reckoned with. But what the Nuggets need is a consistent power forward. Kenyon Martin’s game is declining every season. Now, the search for a premier power forward is going on for the Nuggets. When a right deal comes, no wonder they will pull the trigger and dominate the Western Conference next with the Los Angeles Lakers.
