    Why is everyone so excited? I was hoping we could use that expiring contract at the deadline.

Overall last season, Baker averaged 1.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 7.6 minutes in 27 games with New York and Houston.

    Expiring contracts are only helpful if someone actually WANTS that player,...in this case I don't think trading him would have helped us much. Maybe we could trade him to Dallas,....for the Cowboys 7th round pic :D
