[CHRONIC] Do you like Jordan Hill? He could be Morey's price for doing a McGrady deal

    The core of the trade is the same. We sweeten the deal by taking on Jefferies and his crappy contract that we don't want. In exchange for that they sweeten and us a draft pick and an option to flip with another draft pick.

    It balances out as the same trade on the scales with a couple of additional weights placed on both sides that negate each other. It amuses me that you somehow place way more value on a future draft pick at an unknown location in the draft (which could concievably be in the high 20's) than on another player just selected with a lottery draft pick.

    Since 2003 Jamison didn't miss the playoffs until last years (looks like this one too!)

    He even scored 20 a game on a 52 win team...

    agree on the contrat, not on the talent!

    The Knicks also have Darko who was the #2 pick. After a player is drafted, their performance determines value. Poor performance makes a top 8 pick(Hill) have less value than players drafted in the late 20s or 30s, such as Donte Greene, Budinger or Landry.

    Jordan Hill has less value than other picks drafted later than him such Jennings(10th), Collison(21st), Casspi(23rd), Lawson(18th), and Budinger(44th).

    You should see Ming slamming that 30' ring...

    Yeah sorry that I live in the vast majority in the world where we measure things in cm etc and happened to get the notation wrong on the antiquated system of measuring ;)
