How's My Trade Value: Scott Lucas
Player: Scott Lucas
Why their team should trade them:
They are not going to win again with him in the team, at least it doesn't seem likely. The Bombers can send him off for another shot at the cup, Lucas might get paid more at a contending team as well, and the Bombers can add some players that could be at the club for the next decade or more.
Which team would be a good fit:
Geelong does make some sense, as Lucas was from the Western Districts, and adding him could guarantee another premiership. For the cost of a draft pick and a young player the Cats could add the big boot of Lucas, although it might mean some manoeuvring with contracts to fit him under the salary cap.
Similar trade in the past:
Adelaide added Robran, Carlton acquired Spalding, Sydney got Ball, Geelong previously added Ottens, all big bodies who helped their new clubs to premierships.
Possible trade scenarios:
To Essendon: Cats' first round pick and Nathan Djerrkura
To Geelong: Scott Lucas
To Essendon: Bulldogs' first round pick and Josh Hill
To Western Bulldogs: Scott Lucas
To Essendon: Swans' first round pick and Paul Bevan
To Sydney: Scott Lucas
