Just testing out a theory

If it means anything to your theory, I think it would be absolutely stupid to trade Smith for Rivers, as that would be taking his (Rivers) number one target away.

Sure, you could sign someone else, but no one on the board has come up with any viable, legitimate #2 threats, much less someone for #1 that's actually realistic and possible.

As for Williams; I would be more inclined to give them Stewart. Both backs are needed for one of them to succeed, but why would you trade your known star when his replacement might be troubled with injuries?

On a personal level I'd not trade either of my favorite two football players for anything.

However, were this my business I'd have to seriously consider the offer of Rivers for Williams.

Bringing him here without Smith would be a waste though.

Smith for Rivers is a "Gift of the Magi" trade (i.e. the loss of what you give up offsets the benefit of what you gain) so no, I wouldn't do that.

Williams for Rivers? If not for Moore's last five games, I'd think about it, but in the end I probably still wouldn't do it. Too close to another "trade off" result.

From the flip side, I seriously doubt San Diego would do either deal. An older receiver for a young QB? Not a good trade. And why give up Rivers for Williams when you already have Tomlinson and Sproles?

Because they're going to release LT and Sproles isn't an every down back.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
