NBA Trade Rumors " Austin Daye to LA Lakers?
August 07, 2012 03:30 AM EDT
The LA Lakers have made some great moves this summer as the team tries to win another NBA Championship, but while most the new player signings have resulted in the team adding older veterans, the latest trade rumor with Detroit could land the team a young and athletic small forward.
The Pistons have too many players on their active roster, especially in the front-court, and the latest from Dan Feldman suggests the team is looking to trade Austin Daye, and the LA Lakers are one of the teams that could have interest in the 6'11" forward.
Detroit drafted Daye in the first round back in 2009, and while the 24-year-old has shown glimpses of his talent, for the most part his game has not flourished with the Pistons. Last year the youngster averaged 4.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in just 14 minutes of action, but a change of scenery could be just what Daye needs to kick-start his career.
The LA Lakers could use some youth on their roster and a player that could grow with the team, and adding Daye would likely cost the team just one of their young guards who is not playing much anyway and a future NBA draft pick. While nothing is concrete with this trade, look for the front office to fill the need for a young small forward, and Daye is a player worth taking a shot at for the upcoming basketball season. |

| Darren Daye's kid has some upside -- and playing alongside Nash would give him some opportunities to thrive a little more..If we have to give up a bench warmer and one of the guards rotting on the bench,why not? He's long and athletic and under the right tutelage, he has upside..i wouldnt be mad either way. |

I wouldn't mind Austin Daye being on our team.He reminds me of Brian Cook a little bit.This dude is soft as a pillow,he never ever bangs down low for position.He is a straight away shooter.He takes way too many 3 pointers for a 6'11 guy.He is like Channing Frye without the consistency of Frye.
This guy will cost us a young guard and draft pick?Big question do we have any draft picks to trade?Also which young guard?Things that make me wonder.Here is the link to the OP article.

Cheap, young, athletic, slasher.
Needs to work on his shot but can be a decent player in the league. I would trade Goudelock for him. Also has length to slow down Durant if that's even possible. That guy is something else. He would make sense if we get Barbosa not Meeks. Babrbosa and him running on the open floor would be nice. Easy baskets |

| No thanks. Lakers appear to be interested in several young big guys. Once again, I only think these things happen if McBob is dealt in a DH trade or another move. |

| Daye is an athletic tall SF. We have nobody to back up MWP. This makes sense if we are dealing Ebanks not McBob. |

Honestly i think Devin Ebanks is better than Austin Daye on defense.If my pet project Laker for the past 2 years Devin Ebanks,gets traded then oh yeah by all means,Austin Daye becomes a possible player the Lakers might bring in with a trade.
But if Devin Ebanks stays then Austin Daye becomes not as useful.Who replaces Matt Barnes.Honestly Matt Barnes was the leading scorer off the Lakers bench last season.I like Devin Ebanks on defense,but his offense needs some work,mostly his jump shot needs improving. |

| I trust Mitch, if he says Daye is better than Ebanks, I'd go with Daye, But I also think Mitch is making a mistake if he doesn't sign, Meeks, Martin, or Barbosa and keeps Morris, Gaudalock, Ebanks, sacre, odom, Eyenga. (I'd trade him for a pick if there's any takers) |

| still very young but has a lot of potential, slow on his feet but he is 6'11", i'd say his shooting for is better than ebanks, taller than ebanks, better basketball IQ than Ebanks... i'd say he's worth it... |

| Saw him play with the Zags, looks the same in the league. Has not adapted, and obviously has not convinced anyone that he is a starter, even on the pistons. Ebanks suffices, lets get Leandro. |

| I saw this guy play, he went to HS in Irvine. His game is the same in the pros as it was in high school and college. He hasn't really adjusted. Rather just keep Ebanks. Daye is soft as heck. If you think Pau is soft, you haven't seen Daye. He's a pretty good shooter, though |

| it really doesnt matter. he can strectch the floor better than ebanks does. ebanks can only drive and that is it or cut. It would be a good addition if we dont get back ebanks. even though daye is a better shooter i rather have ebanks cause he will turn out to be good |

austin daye is a shooter, but he has just shown height thus far. although, he has great potential and hasn't really had a chance to showcase his true ability with the pistons. he has shown his potential in preseason and summer league, but not in the regular season (which is more essential). not saying we should take a risk on him and I don't believe this site. |

| Well nice vid to check out. Thanks for posting. TO me he looks like he's not very athletic and he avoids contact, so softness is an issue. He'll get banged a lot more in the NAB than in summer league against scubs. BUt he does have a stroke and if he can start getting into pple more he might be ok. As long he doesn't get itimidated in game situations. Clearly he can shoot. Question is, will he be able to in NBA games. Looks worth a chance to me anyways. If we get him for peanuts... |

both their shooting is pretty much on the same level. I think austin daye has more range and has more skilled offensive moves, but I would choose ebanks because he is more athletic, quicker, more aggressive, more active, and a better defender. |

Ebanks hasn't impressed me much since he's been here. But then there hasn't been a lot of time to evaluate him since he doesn't get a lot of playing time. Still I think I'd go with Daye.
Why? Fresh blood, better shooter, more range, can create off the dibble. At least from what we've seen...overall more versatile and Ebanks isn't exactly a banger himself. |

| This could prove my point that there is uncertainty surrounding our small forward position. Daye would be a perfect fit. Much better than Ebanks and MWP... |

| I would probably choose Daye over Ebanks, though I do like Ebanks. Daye is a versatile player that can play a little stretch 4 in certain line-ups and the Princeton offense might be a blessing to him. Like a poster posted before he is much like Channing Frye, but I think Daye is alot more versatile and has better handles. He is not the future by a FAR stretch, but he has the type of offensive versatility,length, and youth to be a contributor. He still is in his rookie contract I think,so I don't think obtaining him would throw LA into financial dissary so I would deal for him IF the rumor is true. |

Ebanks got shafted last year IMO. He looked like he was getting into a rhythm in the beginning of the season, but got yanked fast. If anything, he was being over aggressive (which I don't have a huge problem with for confidence boost) I really don't bash MB, but I think one of his biggest flaws was developing the youth. Granted, Morris was not a strong candidate to play, but what happened to G-lock, our best shooter? Our bench wasn't producing, yet MB seemed to try and integrate starters for scoring purposes with the second unit. And if it did not work, then we were kind of screwed.
Mental toughness and fortitude in the league is developed through experience. Fact of the matter is that guys not named Kobe, Drew, Pau didn't get much scoring opportunities. San Antonio is a quintessential example of a team when it comes to making pieces work. It is hard to do, but it gives us something to look at it when it comes to making players take accountability for production with their minutes. Ebanks was not terrible, just not great. It might have been a function of minutes, the big stage, or what have you. But when comparing Daye and Ebanks, Daye at least has had ample time to prove himself as a player. He has great intangibles with his height and shooting 'capabilities'. Ebanks has defensive tenacity and scoring 'capabilities' as well, and really didn't get an opportunity to really get into rhythm. Rhythm does not have to be big minutes, rather consistent usage. I think we need to focus on a scorer, someone proven that would take the $ we have to offer. Trading Ebanks for Daye doesn't do anything substantial, and takes away an opportunity for growth with a system that he has a year with under his belt.
We have shuffled the deck already, so I don't see the need for reasons above. Our backup sg/pg role needs to be adressed. Barbosa is a strong candidate because of his proven capabilites. He is older, but he is an unconventional scorer, and can get to the rack. He can speed up play, get fouls (which leads to disruption in opposing teams flow), and is reliable. Why not? |

it's not about the scouts, the scouts did their job in bringing him in in the 1st place. he just didn't perform well in preseason and mike brown ultimately cut him; preventing him from getting a contract with the lakers. |

As of now, not really. His average athleticism makes it more challenging for him to guard Small Forwards, so he's going to need to bulk up in order to guard Power Forwards. 200 pounds isn't going to cut it against 250 pound Power Forwards, but supposedly, he's bulking up during this offseason. |

| Austin Daye would be a great pickup in my opinion. I saw a couple games of his in this years summer league & was very impressed. I think his last years number aren't a great reflection of how good he is. He's still young and has great size for the small forward position. I say go for it. |
