Bonzi can't get a job. The CLippers who i thought were his best chance of getting a resonable deal took Ricky Davis over him...
This is where we pick up Bonzi also.. Two of the best players from the Kings in 2005. If we can get him for cheap.. Then I really don't see why not.
Flexibility and trade assets are exactly why GMs trade for large expiring contracts. If a GM can't get the players they need in the first trade, they can obtain a contract or asset that will get those players in a 2nd trade.
I would be so creeped out if Morey had a masterplan this complicated. At the time it was a mediocre deal, but in hindsight it's payed big. Not only do we get Artest, but we saved money in a season in which Yao soon would be removed from.
