I think we need that solid third option to secure our run to glory and this trade may seem lopsided but look at the lineup: Houston trades: SG Cuttino Mobley (17.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 41.7 minutes) PF Eddie Griffin (8.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 apg in 24.5 minutes) SF Bostjan Nachbar (2.1 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.2 apg in 5.5 minutes) Houston receives: C Greg Ostertag (5.4 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 0.7 apg in 23.8 minutes) SF Andrei Kirilenko (12.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.7 apg in 27.7 minutes) Change in team outlook: -10.8 ppg, +0.5 rpg, and -1.8 apg. Utah trades: C Greg Ostertag (5.4 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 0.7 apg in 23.8 minutes) SF Andrei Kirilenko (12.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.7 apg in 27.7 minutes) Utah receives: SG Cuttino Mobley (17.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 73 games) PF Eddie Griffin (8.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 apg in 77 games) SF Bostjan Nachbar (2.1 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.2 apg in 14 games) Change in team outlook: +10.8 ppg, -0.5 rpg, and +1.8 apg. TRADE ACCEPTED Due to Houston being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Houston had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our lineup: Ming/Ostertag(last year on contract)/Amachi Cato/Taylor Kirilenko/A.Griffin JJ/Pike Francis/Norris/Wilks Utah can even throw in a future 1st Their lineup: Clark/Collins Griffin/Borchardt Harpering/Nachbar/Bell Mobley/Stevenson/Bell Lopez/Arroyo They will most like get the #1 pick in next years draft so their future will be bright And r's would be set (we would have the tallest starting lineup)
Are you for real??? If so, if your the GM of Utah would you do this trade??? HELL NO!!! Why would you want EG for??? Why Bostjan Nachbar??? Why Mobley??? OK maybe Mobley but EG and Nachbar make no sense what so ever... EG is really screwing himself firstly, then the Houston Rockets... I'm not sure if EG is doing this because he wants to be traded or doesn't want Houston to keep him after next season... OR if he has a real bad personal problem like well you know... They have Kirilenko and Harpring who, sorry Bostjan, would run circles around him... This trade is very bad for Utah... Sorry I just can't stand bad trade proposals... Not realistic, you can do it on the NBA Live game, Maybe...
Good job slickdick, you've managed to alienate 99.9% of the people on this board, save the RealGM morons such as yourself. Good job. And if I want a guy with one kidney, I'd much rather have Sean Elliot.
Kirilenko thats way this guy does it all he will take us over the top. Also a Ming/Cato front court will be impossible to score on. Imagine: YAO MING 7-6 315 KELVIN CATO 6-11 265 KIRILENKO 6-10 230 Jim JACKSON 6-6 215 STEVE FRANCHISE 6-3 205 Champs in 2 years gauranteed BABY!!
THIS TRADE WILL NEVER EVER HAPPPEN... so why take the time exploring into it. we had the oppurtunity to get Rashard Lewis for Griff, if the rox didnt do that, they most deffinately wont do this.
Who knows if Kirelenko is any good? A couple of seasons of getting spoon-fed by the leagues all-time assists (and flops)leader is one thing, but the guy's struggling right now.
NEITHER team would do that... horrible! GREG OSTERTAG?!? Ahhhh. He sucks more than Amaechi. Kirilenko isn't that pure shooter we are looking for...and Cato can't start at power forward for the entire season. It just wouldn't be good for either team.
I'd do it if you swap Kirilenko for Deshawn Stevenson and Matt Harpring. Clark Griffin Kirilenko Mobley Lopez/Mo Williams/Arroyo
Francis/Mooch/Wilks Piatkowski/Jackson Harpring/Griffin Cato/Taylor/Miller Yao/Cato/Amaechi/Ostertag This wouldn't be too bad because we would get the shooters that we desperately need. Defense may be a problem...but that's why we would still have Adrian Griffin and Jim Jackson. The Jazz would have a decent team...they should give us one of our first round draft picks back! We were robbed! I do think Mobley is a better solid 3rd option than Kirilenko though... And Harpring is kinda old. I would do Sane's trade if we got a first round draft pick. Ostertag's contract expires, right? I would package Cato and Taylor for a good power forward. I wish!
Not if your going to start Cato and Yao together... Sorry but they are not even close to the Twin Towers (Sampson and Olajuwon) or even (Robinson and Duncan)... I would do if their that dumb but thats like us trading Yao Mingh for Rasheed Wallace and Ruben Patterson... True you add a good PF but why??? You just traded away your best player... So the answer is basically NO... I just didn't understand why you would post something just out of the dark... I can make up some deals not far off from yours that just won't happen... So the question is why post this when its pretty out there??? I mean out there with trading for KG...
slickdick, There are 1,072,825 post on this board and somehow I specifically remember each and every one of yours.
