hard to pull something else off when you have no tradable contracts.

nobody's going to want JYD and ERob, not at their salaries.  same with Jamal Crawford and Allan Houston.  And Tim Thomas.

Othella Harrington (for his expiring contract) and Frank Williams (for a slimmer of hope he might become what they thought when he was drafted) were about the only things left they could trade.

Knicks better hope Chris Jefferies blows up...
ummm...D, they had NO tradeable contracts LAST YEAR.  nobody thought Isiah could unload the players he did, and yet the man pulled it off.  I would just not be surprised to see him work somebody over on another deal or two..

On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. The lesson? The good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

Read the reply again.

He did have things to trade.

He gave away 2 first round draft picks.  By league rules he now is not allowed to trade a draft pick until 2008.

He also had desirable contracts he was able to give up to take back a worse contract (hardaway).  He no longer has that.

Those 2 things were the centerpiece of the deal from the suns perspective.  Both of those assets are gone.
