NBA Association Trade Talks

[SuperNova854]

Redd has a horrible shot

[albidnis]

So you guys think that is a fair trade - Posey and Peja for mcgrady. I would love to bring mcgrady to NO

[SuperNova854]

Pull the trigger

[mfbmike]

They have Ariza. Posey + Peja would just create more of a logjam. Don't forget Shane Battier.

Peja seems pretty costly just for them to have him coming off the bench.

[Vinsane]

Cavs Get:

PF Elton Brand
2010 1st Round Pick

Philly Gets:

PF Anderson Varejao
PG Mo Williams
2010 1st Round Pick

Bosh went down with an injury, if it holds through the entire time I might not be able to move him prior to the deadline. Enter Elton Brand. Philly gets a replacement player in Varejao and a Pure Point in Mo. We swap round 1 draft picks basically for Mo.

And....

Golden State Gets:

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Cavaliers Get:

G-F Stephen Jackson.

This is a rumor that started in the off-season and IRL is starting to get stronger. I want to focus on developing the younger players and having a different sixth man (PF Leon Powe) step into the role when he returns from injury (a day or two game time). I move Z's expiring contract to Golden State to get another Forward/Guard in Stephen Jackson to help at the 2. This also gets rid of starting two PG's at 1 and 2.

Depth Chart:

Daniel Gibson/Delonte West
Stephen Jackson/Anthony Parker
LeBron James/Jamario Moon/Daniel Green
Elton Brand/Leon Powe/Darnell Jackson
Shaquille O'Neal/J.J. Hickson

I will think about it. Wouldn't do anything till I am close to the dealine anyway.

Hm, you get a lottery pick if you swap picks, no?

Think that's selling them a bit short considering what your getting in return. I understand your giving up Mo but Varejao's contract is pretty harsh. 6/7 mill for like 5 years. they don't exactly get cap relief out of the deal so don't think they should give up their pick.

basically a swap of z to GS for s jack. doable considering the situation.

If I take their pick out of the equation, do I still give up mine?

[mfbmike]

I would think so. Not like it matters much imo. You're a championship contender.

Getting mo and varejao isn't exactly a rebuild by any means so I think giving them the pick is justifiable.

Sucks Bosh went down, doesn't it? rofl.

No kidding It's like the game knew I wanted him after all this time and decided an injury would fix my little red wagon. That was a hell of a deal we all put together too...

Outside of Elton Brand, can you think of a Bosh like PF?

[mfbmike]

Um, lamarcus aldridge? (good luck)

at work so I don't have the game with all the rosters in front of me. LMA comes to mind immediately though but they just signed him to an extension, etc.

[LC AAU]

Elton Brand was quite FTL on 2k9. You might want to try him out if you haven't already. He misses a lot of easy shit.

With Oden gone in Portland I doubt they move LMA. Especially when they're fourth in the West in my chise.

[Vinsane]

So I was playing around with the Rosters and I found this deal that will clear...

(note: Elton Brand is injured as well, so I can't get him)

Cavaliers Gets:

SF S. Jackson
PF A. Harrington

Golden State Gets:

C Anderson Varejao

New York Knicks Get:

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas

New York gets a bigger expiring with Z. Nearly 1.51M more.

Varejao and S-Jax's contracts nearly match value wise. Anderson is 5yrs/38.50M, and S-Jax 4Yrs/35.42M.

[mfbmike]

LOL

Brand injured too?

That deal makes sense.
