Back on again, Hassell, Van Horn, Diop, Harris, Ager for Kidd and Allen

[Findog]

It's useless to try Diop for Elson on the trade machine because the Mavs are over the cap and it was rejected. Elson makes $3 mil, Diop 2.1. I don't know if it would work between Jersey and SAS.

Brand new ESPN Trade Machine, too.

Again, the Nets are looking to create cap space and Diop comes off the books this summer.

Did I say the opposite ?

[Findog]

Bonner is BYC at $2.7 mil. Would that work?

[DubMcDub]

Yes, good news. Time will tell if this is good for Dallas. There's little consensus on whether it makes the Mavs better or not, but Spurs fans clearly think some of the matchup problems Diop and Harris bring are now eliminated.

IMO it weakens us against the Spurs but strengthens us against every single other team.

It's nice to have the Spurs number, but if losing some of that means greater success against other teams, I'll take it. Doesn't matter if we can beat the Spurs if we don't even reach a round where we'll get to play them.

Bonner isn't an expiring contract.

I dunno, I was replying to the others who didn't seem to understand NJ's rationale for acquiring him. Sorry.

[Bruno]

Bonner isn't expiring.
If Spurs want Diop, it should be a 3 teams trade.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Elson for Diop doesn't work.

I didn't mean straight up just both of them.
Just the start of the trade.

[Findog]

Bonner isn't an expiring contract.

Oh yeah, , he's got two years left after this one on his deal. Sorry, you guys would have to get really creative to match Diop's cap figure.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I love this new trade machine.

[T Park]

Doubtfull Elson happens for Diop anyways due to Thorn not liking the Spurs

[Bruno]

Spurs could do a trade like that

Spurs trade Elson for Diop+ au
Nets trade Diop for Aaron Williams
Clippers trade Aaron Williams+ au for Elson

Just add some picks/cash to this trade.

Who knows, nothing can be worse than this headache of a trade he's been going through with Cuban.

[DubMcDub]

What, you guys are already giving up on "Dirk-stopper" Elson?

[Mister Sinister]

I love this new trade machine.

At first, I was like . But then, I 'd!

As much as he may be able to guard him, people with the IQ of a toaster tend to piss you off.

[T Park]

yeah doubtfull it happens.

Shame, Diop would help out alot.

[Mister Sinister]

Hey, that's an insult to toasters. My toaster was so offended, it shot burnt toast at me. Way to go. .

Why worry about someone taht will choke and not reach deep into the playoffs?

[DubMcDub]

As much as he may be able to guard him, people with the IQ of a toaster tend to piss you off.

Well, I was being pretty facetious in the first place. Elson can't guard him worth a damn.

But that aside, I always thought you guys would have a pretty damn good basketball player if you could combine Oberto's IQ for the game with Elson's body and athleticism. As it is, Oberto's a much better choice.

[lurker]

you, Keith Van Horn. You Mormon bas .
