http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=29us6vn Knicks get Carmelo and Jeffries. This gives them Carmelo a year earlier, Jeffries who the Knicks has expressed interest in acquiring back and of the pick the need to send to the Nuggets. Plus they get to keep their 2011 pick. Nuggets get Curry, Gallinari, the Rockets 2011 #1 pick and the Knicks 2014 pick. This is the Nugget's "better than nothing" deal. Rockets get Randolph and Azubuike. They would still retain 2 #1s in 2012. And this gets them close to or under the LT.
philly literally saves about 60 million dollars and builds around speights, thaddeus young, jrue holiday, and evan turner....all while being @ around only 30 million in salary next season
IBTL. or thread move. And no team will go to their bare bones just for a salary dump during the preseason. Just before trade window I understand, but now?
Terrible trade, Terrible thread We get Randolph, Turiaf, Smith and Gallinari for Hill, Jeffries, Battier? not even gonna go over the other teams You might want to evaluate this trade with your homer goggles off
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=29zllus If the Knicks really want their picks back to send to Denver then they need to get us someone and take it up the... So I was thinking we can get really anything in return from Denver (as most of their assets will have to head to Denver for Melo). So if they really want to make a trade happen then... Hou gets: Andre Iguodala, Wilson Chandler Denver gets: Gallinari, Randolph, Jeffries, Azuibuike and 2 picks (via Houston's NY picks) Knicks get: Carmelo and Elton Brand Philly gets: Curry, Battier, Turiaf, Douglas Why for Houston? flip Jeffries, Battier and two first rounders for Iggy and Chandler. Why for Denver? Gallinari, Randolph, expirings and picks Why for the Knicks? This is the one I have the hardest time justifying, because rather than take on Brand and throw a bunch of cheap assets away for Brand. I think New York would just wait to try and sign Melo. However if Melo is leaning towards signing off on a deal to the Nets or anyone other than the Knicks before the deadling, New York can go all in to get themselves another superstar. Why for Philly? Salary dump! They want to get rid of Brand and Iggy's contract (Brand more than Iggy). The get a bunch of expirings in return.
DEN: 2011 pick (HOU's own + right to swap with NY) + 2012 NY pick + Chandler + Azubuike + Curry NY: Melo + Taylor + Jeffries HOU: Gallo + Randolph Billups, Lawson, Carter Afflalo, Smith Harrington, Chandler, Azubuike Martin, Birdman, Balkman Nene, Curry, Ely (non-guaranteed) Felton, Douglas Mason, Taylor, Rautins Melo, Fields, Walker Amare, Williams Mozgov, Turiaf Brooks, Lowry Martin, Lee Battier, Budinger, Randolph Scola, Gallo, Hayes, 2Pat Miller, Yao, Hill, Fes/Ericka/??? Later in the season... Brooks + Randolph + Hill + Hayes (filler) for→ Nash Nash, Lowry Martin, Lee Battier, Budinger Scola, Gallo, 2Pat Miller, Yao, Fes/Ericka/???
Stupid trade. You give up assets and Battier for garbage player. Players u fantasize as being good when they're not.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/09/26/1842286_p2/will-subdued-wildcat-break-loose.html This makes me wonder if there's more to this? Did the Heat doctors/trainers see something the Rockets staff didn't?
Nuggets-Knicks-Sixers-Rockets 4-way Trade Idea Nuggets - Danilo Gallinari, Jordan Hill, Shane Battier, Jared Jeffries and future 1st round picks Knicks - Carmelo Anthony Sixers - Anthony Randolph, Eddie Curry, and a future 1st round pick Rockets - Andre Igoudala 4-Way Trade Why can it work? Nuggets get young talents in Galo and J. Hill, cap relief in Battier and Jeffries plus future 1st round picks. And Melo would instantly sign an extension since he's being shipped to New York. Sixers have Evan Turner and are rumored to dealing Iggy for Melo basically for a one year rental and cap relief after the season. This way they get a young stud in Anthony Randolph and cap relief in Eddie Curry PLUS a future 1st round pick Knicks get Melo. Enough said. Rockets get Igoudala. A starting lineup of Brooks, Martin, Igoudala, Scola and Yao. Ok now you can salivate. :grin:
Hill, Battier, Jeffries and 1st round picks for Iguodala? I would rather keep what we have, AI is not worth all that.
Wait, you just posted this in one of the 109242 threads dealing with this, and you actually felt the need to start a new thread to re-post the same thing?
