Don't they have T-Mac?
Mcgrady. For half a season
Don't they have T-Mac?
They'd still have TMac. They've got an MLE too.
The Grizz couldn't be that stupid. Oh, wait....
So 15 games of TMac hobbling around.
They do, I haven't seen whos available at SG, but nothing that I'd want to give up battier for honestly.
I know I may overrate Battier, but he's one of those vital cogs to the team.
Unless Houston has some epic plan for a Battier replacement, there is no way they make that trade, even if it means getting Rubio or Thabeet.
hmm looks like the rox are targeting rubio, but trading brooks affects their possible deal for stoudemire?
if the rumors are true the rox might be trying to trade mcgrady/landry for stoudemire/barbosa
Lowry/Rubio
Barbossa
Artest
Stat
Yao
?
There's also a Vecsey rumor concerning the Rockets. LeAndro Barbosa and Amare Stoudemire to the Rockets for T-Mac, Aaron Brooks, and Carl Landry.
That deal also includes Brooks.
Maybe the Grizz can be convinced that if the Lakers can get $3 million for 29, getting $3 million for a measly 2 is a great deal.
why would the suns do that? Personally i still think they shouls build around amare not nash
yeah i know but maybe they could get it done without including brooks and adding somebody else. i think they are intent on cashing in that Mcgrady contract this offseason because of all the success they had without him last season.
If the Spurs trade into the first round I don't think it will be lower than the 21st.
Sources: Nets, Magic in serious talks
By Chad Ford
The New Jersey Nets are in serious talks with the Magic about a deal that will send Vince Carter to Orlando for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee, two league sources told ESPN.com.
The talks have reached a point that a deal could be done by the end of the day Thursday, according to sources.
The trade would give the Magic even more star power on their quest to win an NBA championship. The addition of Carter to a lineup that already consists of All-Star players Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson would make them the favorites to win the Eastern Conference le next year.
As for the Nets, the move is a cost-cutting measure. Both Alston and Battie are in the last year of their contracts, and trading for them would shave $16.5 million off New Jersey's roster in the summer of 2010 and put the Nets well below the salary cap.
The deal, if completed, would also give the Nets a young, promising shooting guard in Lee.
Not a bad deal for either team there.
that nets trade pretty much shows that spurs could have gotten VC instead of RJ. Im glad they got RJ. That trade helps the magic a lot, especially if they resign Turk.
Courtney Lee is a good player too, so nets didnt do too bad.
Orlando would SERIOUSLY be stacked heavily with that team..they could also let Turkoglu go, and possibly keep Gortat, since they seem to be willing to pay a little extra to keep their guys..
NJ has rejected pretty much every deal for VC due to not getting anything in return, but they would get Lee here, so it's possible that they actually do this trade..
They're also dangling Harris around, and the rumor around here is that he could legitimately be traded by the end of the night..so it all makes sense..
They would only be stacked IF they kept Turkoglu.
I don't know about that..
Turkoglu was much more valuable to them this year due to Nelson being out..it made Turk their primary pick and roll guy, and primary ballhandler..with Nelson back in the mix, they won't need him as much..
Vince is easily a much better player than Turkoglu, and he's proven he can make big shots..he would be a #2 to #4 option on Orlando, so I don't think they should even keep Turkoglu..the only thing Turk has over Vince is that he's a better defender, but Orlando didn't really use Turkoglu's defense much this year, since they have Pietrus on the team(Lee would be gone)..
They're better off letting him go, taking VC, and keeping Gortat..
VC has a huge contract, i think it might be insurance in case they lose Turk.
this could either hurt or help the spurs' chances of signing gortat depending on the magic being able to resign Turk.
I'm assuming it hurts our chances at getting Gortat..
keeping Turkoglu doesn't make any sense for them if they acquire Vince..they're getting a better player that can play a similar style as Hedo, and they have to assume Nelson will be healthy next year..
they could just pay Vince, let Turkoglu go, and pay a little tax for Gortat IIRC..
If they are smart, they would resign Turkoglu.
You roll a starting 5 of Howard
Lewis Turkoglu Carter and Nelson?
Hot damn.
Team scAmway will pay approximately $30 mil in lux tax if that goes down.
Question for all:
What point guard in this draft would you be (as a fan) willing to trade Hill for (Meaning the Spurs trade Hill and get a pick)?
