Troy Murphy for Tayshaun Prince?... Your Thoughts?

Murphy just fits our system so much better. Having a PF that can get out and make those 3s when we need him too as well as rebound like a true PF, it’s a nice combination.

I respectfully disagree, this season even without Murph we are 3rd in the league in rebounds behind Milwaukee and Dallas. Plus Danny can hit those 3’s as well if not better then Troy.

I would love this trade to go down. Prince could be inserted into the starting lineup and we could then bury Rush on the bench. His play this season has been suspect at best, 7.4 pts, 4.6 rebs, 1.4 assts, while shooting only 35% from the floor. So yeah I’d be fine moving Murphy for Prince. The only problem I see is that no one in Detroit would want this. Sorry, I just don’t see any value in Murphy at the money he’s making.

Given my distaste for all things Pistons (for obvious reasons) I would cringe every time I saw Prince in a Pacers jersey. Trade might make sense, but it would still make me cringe.

Tay-Tay has a gold medal and Troy doesn’t.

I can’t see tough as nails Joe Dumars even giving this trade a second thought, this will never happen.

Our best chance at getting Prince is when Troy’s deal is up so is Tay’s ….. I say start the sales pitch now come to nap-town.

Yes ThirtyOne I can see why you hate the Pistons but personally I’ve moved on. And to Man of Pace, before this season I wouldn’t have thought Joe Dumars would’ve given this any thought either. But seeing that they picked up two players in Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon, I actually see it as a possibility with a draft pick. Cause neither of those guys are tough-nose defenders (especially Villanueva). Maybe throw in a 1st rounder in 2011? Oh ThirtyOne, I see Murphy as quite a threat playing for any team. He’s a double-double machine who can stretch the defense (Would be very helpful for Will Bynum he likes to shoot around the basket). Of course he’s overpaid (but so is Tayshaun). I also agree with you that Brandon needs to come off the bench unless he starts making plays with the ball. It looks like he doesn’t want to step on anybody’s toes out there and just lets everyone else do the work. He needs a fire in him that he just doesn’t seem to have right now.

You just might be right ….

If this were to happen, oh my, talk about a story … Indiana and Detroit doing a deal would be akin to the isreali’s and palastinians doing a deal ….

I don’t like the idea of keeping Danny Granger at the power forward position permanently. I think he’s better off on the wing.
