If We

[wisnub]

do indeed sign Pargo, do you guys see the following an option or no? I know SA would pull it, but would the Suns? SALARIES WORK.

Udoka+Bonner+Vaugh for Barbosa

They get the backup they desperately need, as well as a player that actually can play defense. Bonner was a throw in, but they are very small after Shaq/Stoudamire.

YES GET BARBOSA...that would be in tight

[Doug Collins]

Would this work because it would work salary wise.....

Sign Pargo


Trade Vaughn, Bonner, and Oberto to New York
for Eddy Curry......

We would have our two point guards with Pargo and Parker.... A quality big in Curry granted that he stays healthy and New York gets some decent return......

Which one of those players is decent?

Thats not even close to good for NY. I'm sure if they wanted to trade Curry they could get alot more than this.

Why this would this work.
New York is going to try to pick up the pace. Curry will not fit the D'Antonio system. Ny does not need more salary so he could be a Camby like dump. No team has salary cap room so it has to be a trade for desirable contracts.

Curry has three year left at 9.7 mil, 10.5 mil, 11.2 mil

You must come within 10% of the 9.7 mil.

Vaughn one year at 1.2 mil
Bonner two years at 2.9 mil and 3.2 mil
Oberto two years at 3.5 mil and 3.5 mil

Total equals 7.6 mil, Still not a match salary wise.

You would have to either throw in Udoka at 1.1 mil or more likely do a sign and trade with Finley. for the 1.1 mil. Finley could get some guaranteed cash and both Finley and Vaughn would then be cut.

The cost of 9.7 mil would be the same for this year to New York but they would save in year two a difference between 10.5 mil and 6.4 mil which is 4.1 mil.
Year three is the difference between 11.2 mil and 6.7 mil which is 4.5 mil.
The three year savings would be 8.6 mil
Add in the cap tax and NY would save 17.2 mil over the life of the contract.
The idea in the era of salary cap of a trading a player for a player of equal talent is no longer an issue.

It's all about the cha-ching. Also, such a scenario would take the Spurs out of the infamous 2010 plan.
