    here's a brief list on who's on the trading block.......

    On the block


    With more than a little help from my colleague Mark Montieth of the Indianapolis Star, here is quick list of players on the trade block as the Feb. 24 deadline approaches.

    1. P.J. Brown, New Orleans: A quality big man still at 35, but he is owed $16 million over the next two seasons. Tough sell.

    2. Nick Van Exel, Portland: At least five teams have been inquiring about him, and you have to believe Indiana is one of them. He makes $11.8 million this year, with a team option ($12.7 million) next year.

    3. Dale Davis, Golden State: If you have $10 million in tradable assets, you can have him. He's on the last year of his deal.

    4. Eddie Jones, Miami: The Heat have been trying to trade him for a couple of years. His $13.5 million could come off the books next season.

    5. Toni Kukoc, Milwaukee: A perfect pickup for a late-season push. Hasn't played much all year and he only makes $3 million.

    6. Donyell Marshall, Toronto: The Raptors are asking for a king's ransom in return for Marshall and Jalen Rose. But, as the deadline gets closer, his talent and his $5 million contract, on its final year, will become more attractive.

    7. Gary Payton, Boston: He has made it clear he wants to move back to the West Coast, though league rules prohibit his return to the Lakers (which has been rumored). Boston isn't going anywhere, and they need to play Marcus Banks. So, they might as well use this chip while they can.

    9. Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Portland: Elbow surgery has taken his name off the front burner, but he is expected back after the All-Star break. He is in the final year, making $14 million.

    10. Glenn Robinson, Philadelphia: Just have a feeling somebody might take a flier on him (maybe even the Sixers). He's in the last year, making $12 million.

    According to some of our fellow members on this board, Yao Ming should be on the list too.

    Come on. This "Woe is Yao" schtick is getting almost as old as Willis25's "its all Sura's fault".

    And not to mention, you busted up the running MoT gag. Grrr.

    Why wouldn't Miami want to keep Jones' contract? He is a major contributor and his contract would come off the books next year... for them too.

    because they're trying to contend for a title this year, and they feel like they need a better third scorer than eddie.

    Poor Mo.

    In giving away our depth in the T-Mac trade, we had to yield Cuttino Mobley, whose salary closely matches Juwan Howard's (i.e., why swap the two except as our price to get T-Mac).

    So we get a player whose skills match Mo's. And neither fares well because the rotation is buggered.

    Then Mo dares spout off to JVG and gets to ride the pine with "the flu," replaced by "pus-dripping hangnails", then "pinkeye," then....what does he have now? Besides the number of his realtor on speed-dial? "Yep, sell it. Do you know anybody in Portland who can hook me up?"

    I'd say Juwon has been faring well lately...and that just re-emphasizes the fact that we don't need Maurice Taylor on this team anymore...

    We will still see the "Yao for Odom and Mihm" posts after the next bad game. I guarantee it. :)

    Well I guarantee that I won't. Because there's only one person on this board that ever suggests that trade, and I've got him on ignore. ;)

    It is said that we are interested in Donyell Marshall. Is it true?

    Do you think Stromile Swift wants to defer to TMac and Yao, do the dirty work, get the tough rebounds, play a good game without the ball, and hit the wide open jumpers that Yao and TMac will inevitably afford him to have? Cause that's the ideal PF that we need.
