    though I'd be very disappointed if the Spurs release Tony for AD

    I think some kind of trade is in the works. cia pop, has something up his sleeve.
    no. He isn't going to give up a defensive minded 7-footer for anyone. Not Brand, SAR, Antonio Daniels or anyone else. Even thought he is an expensive bench player, how many teams can rotate two seven foot centers and a seven foot PF off their front line?? Even at his price, I don't think Rasho is worth trading. Especially not for some undersized PF like SAR.

    Daniels? No.

    But if the Clips offered Brand for Rasho the Spurs front office would be stumbling to answer the phone on that one as bad as they were when Isiah called to offer up Nazr for Rose.

    I wonder about that too. I would think he'd have an idea about what he's going to do by now. I wonder what kind of sign-and-trades are on the table from different teams.

    Deal would include sign-and-trade with Trail Blazers
    By Chad Ford
    ESPN Insider


    The New Jersey Nets may have found their replacement for Kenyon Martin. And he's coming at a real bargain.

    A team source said the Nets are very close to an agreement with Shareef Abdur-Rahim on a six year contract worth roughly $38 million.

    To make the deal work under cap rules, the Portland Trail Blazers, who own Abdur-Rahim's rights, would have to agree to sign him to the contract and then trade him to the Nets using a $5 million trade exception that the Nets own. In return, the Nets would send a future first round pick to the Blazers.

    If the Nets are unable to get the Blazers to agree to a sign-and-trade, Abdur-Rahim has agreed to sign with the Nets for their mid-level exception at five years for about $28 million, according to the team source. So, either way, it looks like the Nets will get their hands on Abdur-Rahim.

    Either way it's a great deal for the Nets.

    The Nets refused to pay Martin, their last power forward, a max contract last summer and eventually traded him to the Nuggets for three future first round picks. The Nets used some of those picks to acquire Vince Carter from the Toronto Raptors midseason. Now they're trying to use the trade exception they received from the Martin deal to acquire Abdur-Rahim.

    Abdur-Rahim might be coming at less than half the price of Martin, but he isn't half the player. Abdur-Rahim, who is 28, has averaged 19 points per game and 8.1 rebounds per game for his career. Last season he struggled through injuries, but still managed 16.8 ppg and 7.1 rpg. Martin has averaged 12.4 ppg and 5.1 rpg for his career and had 15.5 ppg and 7.3 rpg for the Nuggets last season.

    If the Nets land Abdur-Rahim for the mid-level exception, look for new owner Bruce Ratner to keep spending money. The Nets still own their full mid-level exception. Their next signing could be free agent guard Keyon Dooling with part of their mid-level exception. The Nets are looking for a combo guard who can help Jason Kidd keep his minutes down to about 30 a night. They seem to have narrowed in on Dooling as their guy. If the Nets are forced to use their mid-level on Abdur-Rahim, they'll still have until July 29th to use their $5 million trade exception to acquire another free agent.

    I knew that the Nets would blink and give the Blazers a first round draft pick.

    Good job by the Blazers in calling Thorn's bluff.

    What's the status on Richard Jefferson? Is he healed up? I remember reading something earlier that said he may be moved.

    Any sensible deal put together that did not involve Duncan, or Ginobili for Brand and I would positively poop myself. The little big man is one of my absolute faves.

    I would take a Rasho/Parker for Brand/Jaric in a hearbeat.

    Not that I think it would even be possible. I cannot see what the attraction would be to the Clips for that..

    On the other hand, Thorn was smart not to give KMart max money. Instead they got a similar player in SAR at half the price.

    It looks like SAR goes to the Nets according to ESPN ticker.
