first of all, shaq wasn't a shot blocker. But he still had Haslem and Alonzo mourning with the heat, and with l.a., he was young enough that he could just power his way through any defense.... Ewing was surrounded by bruisers - Oakley and Mason to be percise, and Hakeem had otis thorpe his first year. The second championship, we got killed by opponents but chucky brown wasn't too bad of a rebounder and luckily Robert Horry was on fire and slid down to play the pf position. But Hakeem had no help, and that's what made what he did even more amazing. But Yao isn't Hakeem, and certain not a Young shaq. Yao isn't quick enough to attempt to block a shot and recover for the rebound. You need someone to help him out there. Maybe Scola is the guy. Who knows. But the need is there.
Don't trade Tracy! I love tracy! Yao, it's Yao who have to leave Houston! Yao+ Brooks <==> Bynum +Fisher+Carl(a shooter of D-league) Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Jason Kidd, Sean Williams and 1st Rounder for Tmac and Mike James. MJ is not going to do anything in this system. Plus, he plays no D anymore
Both team wouldn't do that... LA Lakers trade their only pure PG and the center that they have worked with, who now is finally showing his potential. Plus Bynum is loved by the Laker's organization. And Yao won't be traded by Leslie Alexander...
Ive been on the trade machine and gone a little happy on it! So, before we split up Tracy and Yao, among the other trades that I have shown will work dollar wise and seem to be good trades for both or all teams involved, here is my latest block buster that contains a four team 20 player trade! This Trade Succeeded! Go back to adjust your trade or start over. New York Knicks Incoming Players James Posey Salary: $3,206,000 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 7.3 REB: 4.1 AST: 1.0 PER: 13.19 Alexander Johnson Salary: $770,610 Years Remaining: 2 PTS: 2.2 REB: 1.0 AST: 0.2 PER: 11.00 Jason Williams Salary: $8,937,500 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 8.7 REB: 2.3 AST: 5.4 PER: 12.00 Kirk Snyder Salary: $2,358,433 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 4.0 REB: 1.5 AST: 1.0 PER: 15.18 Tony Allen Salary: $1,868,141 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 4.7 REB: 2.2 AST: 1.4 PER: 9.08 Mike James Salary: $5,826,893 Years Remaining: 2 PTS: 7.6 REB: 1.7 AST: 1.8 PER: 11.21 Outgoing Players: Mardy Collins, Jared Jeffries, Quentin Richardson, Eddy Curry The Knicks do this deal just to free up some money, even though they can afford not to. But they get rid of several multi-year contracts and end up with mostly 1 year contracts and a couple of 2 year contracts. The players they get in return are gonna help them run more to offer a better product to put on the floor. What they have now is not working no matter what, so getting some expiring contracts in along with some players that they can put on the floor to run with the ball also, gives them an opportunity to make some moves in the upcoming years. They are going no where this year no matter what. And long contracts have continued to be their biggest problem, along with coaching and management that are making those decisions. Boston Celtics Incoming Players Rafer Alston Salary: $4,550,000 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 9.3 REB: 3.2 AST: 5.0 PER: 11.97 Eddy Curry Salary: $8,947,543 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 13.7 REB: 5.0 AST: 0.6 PER: 15.29 Luther Head Salary: $1,122,000 Years Remaining: 2 PTS: 5.9 REB: 1.6 AST: 1.4 PER: 12.52 Outgoing Players: Kendrick Perkins, James Posey, Brian Scalabrine, Tony Allen, Eddie House Boston will do this deal because while they lose some defense in Posey, although they are also losing their starting center, they are gaining Eddie Curry as their new starting center. They get Rafer to run their offense, whether they decide to start him or not over Rondo is anyone's guess. But off the bench to get it up the court and pass to their 3 stars unselfishly, who else would be better. Then they get Luther that will give them even more fire power off the bench at the one or two from 3 pt range. They become the favorites to win it all actually with this trade. Miami Heat Incoming Players Chuck Hayes Salary: $1,750,000 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 3.3 REB: 6.3 AST: 1.0 PER: 12.09 Shane Battier Salary: $5,883,600 Years Remaining: 4 PTS: 8.3 REB: 4.6 AST: 1.5 PER: 9.99 Mardy Collins Salary: $967,320 Years Remaining: 2 PTS: 1.5 REB: 1.3 AST: 1.1 PER: -0.16 Jared Jeffries Salary: $5,632,200 Years Remaining: 4 PTS: 2.7 REB: 3.1 AST: 0.7 PER: 6.72 Quentin Richardson Salary: $8,105,500 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 7.3 REB: 5.9 AST: 1.6 PER: 7.25 Steve Novak Salary: $687,456 Years Remaining: 1 Outgoing Players: Alexander Johnson, Ricky Davis, Jason Williams, Udonis Haslem Miami does it because they need to do something. To me, they get the least out the deal, but they get rid of J. Williams' contract; they were gonna lose Ricky D. anyway, so they get something now for him; they were shopping Udonis anyway....and Johnson is no big deal to lose. In return, they get some strong defenders in Battier and Hayes. They get some 3 point shooting with Battier, Novak and Q. Richardson, who could return to form working with D. Wade and provide them what Ricky Davis doesn't. Im sure they can find some use for Marty Collins and Jared J. as well. Houston Rockets Incoming Players Kendrick Perkins Salary: $4,480,912 Years Remaining: 4 PTS: 6.9 REB: 5.3 AST: 1.0 PER: 12.20 Ricky Davis Salary: $6,819,000 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 14.9 REB: 4.2 AST: 2.5 PER: 12.46 Brian Scalabrine Salary: $3,000,000 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 2.1 REB: 1.5 AST: 0.9 PER: 5.07 Eddie House Salary: $1,500,000 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 8.0 REB: 2.2 AST: 1.7 PER: 15.17 Udonis Haslem Salary: $6,050,000 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 13.1 REB: 9.4 AST: 1.5 PER: 13.58 Outgoing Players: Chuck Hayes, Shane Battier, Rafer Alston, Steve Novak, Kirk Snyder, Mike James, Luther Head The Rockets do it because we get a proven third scorer in Ricky Davis. Him and Tmac will make it more difficult on opposing teams than Tmac and Battier at that position. Also, we upgrade our four position with Udonis/Scola vs Hayes/Scola. Also, we get the higher percentage shooter in the PG position with House coming off the bench as a spark. We also get a legit back up center for Yao with Perkins who was starting for Boston. Scalabrine is a throw in and we use him if we can. New starting lineup: AB, Tmac, Ricky D, Haslem, Yao Bench: House, Francis, Bonzi, Scola, Perkins A much better team IMHO..and we keep Yao and Tmac together! Get on the phones Morey! Any comments?
