Phoenix wouldn't consider Iverson for Stoudemire - even if Stoudemire were to never play again.
What?? Instead they would get nothing in return for AStoud? Thats whack.
So Stoudamire is done? Is that a medical diagnosis or is that a Reality prognosis.
You don't trade away a guy like Stoudamire especially when you already have a better PG than AI.
Webber for Grant's contract? Grant's contract is miniscule - no chance at it working. And I don't think Phoenix would want Webber UNLESS Stodemire wasn't coming back. And maybe not even then.
Grant is gonna get another 13 million from the Lakers next season.
Grant's 13 million is an amnesty deal -- there isn't any expiring contract to entice anyone to trade for him. The amnesty deal is between Grant and the Lakers -- it doesn't count in any trades (only his present salary with the Suns -- was that a two year deal or a one year deal?).
But Phoenix DOESN'T want Webber -- they would rather run-and-gun -- and we all know Webber isn't up to that. They would rather play Diaw and Marion in the post than have Webber. You aren't even making any sense (as usual).
Well of course Duncan would veto it and would not want to go to Orlando. But as for Howard being on SAS, he is ready to be great starting next year. 2007-8 at the latest. From the Spurs point of view it is very doable. I would not do it, but another Spurs title with Howard is completely within the realm of reality
This is just TOO funny -- why is TD the best player in the league (when healthy)? It's not just because of his offense -- he's the TOTAL package. He isn't just a great offensive player -- he isn't just a great rebounder or shotblocker -- he's a GREAT defensive player. He is the cornerstone on which the Spurs team is built. You aren't just going to pull him out and replace him with Dwight Howard -- that's a JOKE! Howard has a lot of potential but he doesn't even understand half of what TD already does defensively for the Spurs!
Are you already packing your bandwagonning bags? Because any fan who would make suggestion is :crazy: .
Duncan for James: another deal that neither team would make. Cleveland's not ready to win now, and San An isn't going to win when Rasho Nesterovic is your main post option.
Contraire. James with SuperManu, Parker etc? Even a servicable Center would work. See JordanBulls centers of past.
Umm, you fail to comprehend what MJ DID have in the post. Sure, a serviceable center was all MJ had but MJ also had one of the best rebounder (esp. offensive rebounders) and post defenders in the league during ALL of his titles. The Spurs don't have that without TD.
And you are comparing James with MJ -- please hold those comparisons until he has actually earned them (and he hasn't -- yet!).
As for the Cavs, they are building for the future -- giving up James would be a HUGE mistake. And the Cavs don't have anyone who is going to help TD win a title so why trade your REALLY young superstar for an aging one (esp. one who had some major health problems this year) when you know it doesn't help you win a title. You go for the future!
Artest for Bowen: Sacramento doesn't need a role player, and San An doesn't need a head case (see Indiana's before and after pictures).
Ya its not gonna happen. Just wondering tho.
This is just ridiculous -- SacTown doesn't want Bowen -- how many years does Bowen have left in him? Two, three? Not to mention that they want someone who can score rather than just shoot from outside -- not to mention the salaries aren't even close!!!
Bryant/Bosh/Paul: New Orleans needs Paul - not Bryant or Bosh - since Paul is an up-and-comer, and they've already got David West at power forward.
Toronto might trade Bosh for Bryant, but the Lakers never would.
Well maybe Jerry Buss will pass away soon and the younger Busses will make a move. Lets also assume Stern and the NBA will not intervene and force a KG for Chris Mihm trade.
You type something like this and then understand why people ask you if you know ANYTHING about basketball?
Bryant IS a top 5 player -- you could even argue the best all-around player in the league (although I wouldn't agree with that assessment) -- the players you mentioned AREN'T even close to being in that league.
1) salaries can't work
2) talent isn't equivalent -- you want the Lakers to trade a superstar for a player that MIGHT become one?
Minnesota doesn't want ANYBODY from New York - much less *4* of them - and absolutely not if the price tag is Garnett. And New York's pick is going to Chicago in the Curry deal.
I dunno. #2 overall pick, Frye, Jomal Crawford, Nate Robinson and Eddy Curry. If KG is gonna split anyways this is not too shabby. Better then KG for Mihm straight across.
Okay, Minny might take Frye, Robinson, Curry and Crawford for KG -- but since NY is trading it's entire team (and future potential) for a guy that isn't going to help them win a championship, what's the point for NY? Now I realize that Zeke might be that stupid -- but it would be stupid.
Do you REALLY believe that Minny is going to trade KG for Mihm straight up?
1) salaries don't match
2) McHale is dumb but not that dumb
I realize that this is your greatest fear -- that the Lakers would somehow get a KG to join with Kobe for another title. Just the thought of that causes you pain.
Bottom line, you didn't suggest a trade that even came CLOSE to making any sense.
When I first read this, I thought -- wow, is Lee back again?
