yea, your right. it would have to be 800,000 more or so. that why barry works and vaughn. sam is a great teammate and wears his heart on his sleeve.
Pigs would fly, etc. Because it literally doesn't work. You have to add another salary.

sam now might be going to boston
Celts interested in Cassell more than Stoudamire?
The Boston Celtics appear to be taking their time on Damon Stoudamire. Having been bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies, the veteran point guard will clear waivers on Wednesday, which is a formality, as he has no contract to pick up.
According to league sources, the Celts are checking out other possibilities and it's believed they may have interest in another player, thought to be Sam Cassell of the Los Angeles Clippers. That matter would require time to work out, but the C's will have to move quickly on Stoudamire if they want him.

Ouch. Cassell would be perfect there. Watch out if this happens...
1) We need a better backup PG now, not later, and the only way we get Sam Cassel now is to trade for him. At his current salary, we would give up too much. The Clippers will likely only waive him after the trade deadline; they see him as a potentially leverageable asset right now.
2) I would welcome Sam to come to the Spurs for the Vet Min next year. He would be either 2nd or 3ed PG, and I would LOVE to have his leadership and coldblooded clutchness on the team.
Cassell would be a great pt for the Spurs if only for a year. He's also what all GM's covet. An expiring contract.
Got to agree with T-park on this. With Barry healthy, we get a Two-in one deal. A versatile forward and a big point guard. Plus! he know the spurs system very well.
Casell is not worth dealing with. Aside from his bulky contract, he has problems with being the man coming off the bench. From Pop's previous actions, he usually gets those sacrificing-give it all veterans (who would die to get a championship). Right now, casell is still dealing with his ego and money problems. So not worth it.
Spurs should target Cassell over Stoudamire, but they can get Mighty Mouse instead of Curious George easier.
You guys forgot. Throw in Bonner's salary and you have a winner!!
barry for cassell works straight up but I highly doubt clips take that.
Sam Cassell, at 38, is still capable of giving 30 strong minutes a game. He doesn't have three point range, but his midrange game is still deadly and I'd kill to see him in a Spurs uniform.
Cassell is more injury prone than the mighty mouse...but anyhow... he has a championships resume with him... and may give it all knowing it'll be his last shot for another ring...
I'd want Cassell over Stoudamire as Parker's back-up.
He's a proven winner, and is a high IQ player. He's got the same intangibles as Manu and Horry.
Cassell > Barry
I can't see Sam coming here. I see him heading off to Boston instead
That would suck. He'd give them edge during the playoffs-- not that they need it anymore than they do.
He'd enjoy reuniting with KG, I suppose.
I wish he would rather reunite with his buddy Big Shot Bob. You know, someone he's actually WON championships with....I wish the trade was more doable, because it would be a different vet PG than the Nick Van Exel fiasco.
I didn't like Nick in his prime, and I don't like Damon Stoudamire. He'd probably bring us anti-championship residue, like Nick Van Exel did in 2006.
Forget Sam Cassell, if you don't mind an old guy then go after Jason Kidd. He has still got some game and for a couple of years he could reall help the team.
The problem is what would you have to give up to get him?
The word over here is they are keeping Sam for this year. Crazy ass Clippers management think they can still make the playoffs
We could presumably pick up Stoudamire on waivers vs. giving up someone for Cassell. I don't know if Sam is that much better than Stoudamire.
Cassell and Horry back together? In a Spurs uniform? What a confluence of bad memories.
And if you think Horry is losing it, try taking on a gold-bricking ex-Clipper. No ex-Clippers at the point (and that goes for you, too, Mr. Boykins).
Francrisco hands and Finley to the pacers
Tinsley to the clippers
and we get Cassell.
perhaps one of the most unrealistic trades ever but at least i got the numbers to work.
