Miami has been reported to be interested in rebuilding their team & Grant/Jones are available for trade. Indiana's in playoff contention & could use that final piece to push them over the top, but Harrington has been playing very well. So, would they even be interested in doing one of these deals? I read an article at RealGM that reports Indiana as being one of the teams interested in Grant, but that no serious discussions were on going. Trade #1 Miami trades: Brian Grant $10,009,688 to Indiana TOTAL: $10,009,688 Indiana trades: Jonathan Bender $2,546,760 to Miami Indiana trades: Travis Best $3,375,000 to Miami Indiana trades: Austin Croshere $6,310,000 to Miami (BYC Value $4,732,500) TOTAL: $12,231,760 TRADE ACCEPTED Trade #2 Miami trades: Eddie Jones $10,080,000 to Indiana TOTAL: $10,080,000 Indiana trades: Jonathan Bender $2,546,760 to Miami Indiana trades: Travis Best $3,375,000 to Miami Indiana trades: Austin Croshere $6,310,000 to Miami (BYC Value $4,732,500) TOTAL: $12,231,760 TRADE ACCEPTED
Jonathan Bender has too much potential to trade him for a falling star who I admit in past years was a great rebounding big man but is not averaging about as many as a point guard.
Indiana would be really sure to do either of those trades, both would be great trades for Miami. Bender will be a stud when Reggie retires, aside fromt he fact Reggie is playing quite well the season, even considering he doesn't get to shoot very much anymore. Sure Croshere's contract is rather large but he still better value long term the Grant, also not sure how Grant really helps the Pacers, they are after a legitimate Centre, as they have O'Neal playing sensational and if Grant arrived they would be sending Harrington back to the bench and he would be playing great. No substance to this but the one player i could see the Pacers trading is Rose, he has sat several 4th quarters, as Isiah has benched him for playign no defense. Anyhoo, both are dud deals for the PAcers!!!
Okay then, how about this deal? Miami trades: Vladimir Stepania $565,850 to Indiana Miami trades: Eddie Jones $10,080,000 to Indiana TOTAL: $10,645,850 Indiana trades: Jonathan Bender $2,546,760 to Miami Indiana trades: Jalen Rose $10,865,250 to Miami (BYC Value $8,148,937) TOTAL: $13,412,010 TRADE ACCEPTED
