Who is your team's over-valued trade chip?

[Da KO King]

Let's be real folks, every team has a player or two that the front office/fans give far too much value to. From David Lee in New York to Andrew Bynum in Los Angeles to Paul Milsap in Utah; there is always a guy that even though he's not likely to be a starter the front office or fans expect to get a starting caliber player in a trade for that player.

So who is your favorite team's over-valued trade bait?

[AI Nuggets3]

the front office would probably trade Melo before they trade Nene'

[Borat]

jameer nelson - management love him for some reason. probably cos he hasnt gone to jail for a while

[hotsizzle]

Bynum. Kobe is on the verge of leaving LA because Lakers refused to trade Bynum for arguably the best PG in the game.

Bynum will be a legit starter though. All star even...but not the franchise player management envisions.

[clipps]

Kaman - He's considered "untouchable"
Livingston - Philly would have accepted Maggette/Livingston/A-Train for AI.

This will happen when your team really has only one player with good trade value. I don't see much to want from the Lakers or Knicks other than Bynum and Lee (realistically that is so no Kobe) so fans will overrated them.

I think some Raptor fans overvalue Jose Calderon's value. While he has shown to be a solid starter for short periods of time, I question his durability to play 30+ minutes per game for a full season. Injury issues are always brought up with TJ Ford when Jose Calderon is probably the more likely PG to get injured. He has some serious defensive issues as well.

for chicago i'd say it's the opposite. other teams fans seem to think they can take hinrich and it won't matter because he's got duhon behind him, but as much as i like chris, he's not close to kirk.

boston traded everyone and doesn't even pretend to have any chips left.

yea calderon is probably toronto's prized bargaining chip... but a solid PG could turn around a franchise.
examples:
ford
nash
d.williams

I really think if anything it's TJ the Raps overvalue. Had they not already commited a lot of money to him, I think he'd be the one in all the trade rumours rather than Jose.

brian cook, alot of teams won't even give a bag of chips for the guy but the lakers are holding out for two of the large family sized bags

[Borat]

yeah probably dont put ford and williams in the nash category just yet....

[lawlerslaw100]

Stanley Livingston was last year's over valued chip.
His value plummetted with the injury.

Kaveman is untradeble with his over priced contract
but we had to pay him to maintain credibility.

I wouldn't mind a trade that included David Lee for Ak47, but not for Ron Artest.

[kumquat]

Maybe sergio rodriguez
