I told everyone to tank at end

Indeed, it is a pipe dream. And Camby is on his way down, but I think he'd be a good teacher for Sean on and off the court and as his play time decreases within a year or two, Sean's will increase, perhaps being a starter and having Camby come off the bench for certain occasions.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Astral @ May 20 2008, 09:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Razel, I totally agree with you. Camby's defense is overrated (he gets blocks by leaving the post open) and with age (34) he is slowing down.
However, the beauty of this deal is that Camby has 2 years on a decreasing contract. This season he'll make $8M and the following he'll make $7.65. Which basically means that he'll be making his fair value, he'll cover our rebounding deficiencies, and his contract expires in time for the Sweepstakes of 2010.

Plus, (someone correct me if I'm wrong), new contract year starts on July 1. Technically, this year Camby is still making $10M. Thus if the Nets trade for Anthony/Camby on or very soon after the draft night, they get to package an extra $2M in contracts. I think this is an excellent trade for New Jersey.</div>
So then why does Denver make this deal?

Huge payroll cut.

I think SWill would have to be included for a deal to even be discussed. Otherwise I'd pull the trigger. But Denver probably wouldn't.

 

[Claud]

So RJ+Swill+Mwill+KVH'S CONTRACT+10TH PICK = Melo & Camby?

So if this deal gets done then..

PG Devin Harris/Darrel Armstrong
SG Vince Carter/Maurice Ager
SF Carmelo Anthony/Boki Nachbar?/ Julius Hodge?/Trenton Hassel
PF Josh Boone/Stromile Swift/ Nenad Krstic(If resigned)
C Marcus Camby/Desagana Diop(If resigned)

Also we have the 21st & 40th pick...

So how is this team looking so far?
Thoughts?

 

[jirohkanzaki]

no problem...we trade for bargnani and we get a #1 pick! we also got #2 overall stromile swift...how lucky can we get!

 

[igotask8board]

Why can't they just flip a

I think we all liked that system.

 

[danxcr]

i think instead of swill they might want swifts expiring... if swift doesnt opt out and its a player option he would have 1 season of like 6.8 million or something, the nets can use that as trade bait or even hassel's contract its close to expiring... i think the nuggets are tryin to get in a better financial situation

 

[reganomics813]

If Camby comes here he probably will see a dip in his production because he won't have the opportunities like he has in Denver not because of his age. He's still playing at the top of his game and one of the best centers in the league period. He can easily play out his remaining contract at a very high level for us between any injuries he may have along the way. He's much more than just a shot blocker and rebounder and for the peantus we're giving up in these scenarios it's insane he's even in the offers at all.

Not long-term

 

[ToddMacCulloch11]

well obviously if we had lost one more game and had that spot, the same very very very small chance of getting the #1 pick would have happened. It's not luck at all.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Carter15Nets @ May 20 2008, 08:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Bulls now get Rose or Beasley because of 1 less win

Everyone laughed at me back then telling me I am not a true fan...


We could have had Beasley</div>
Because everyone knew when to put the breaks on the losing streak and have the 9th worst record and not wind up with 2 extra loses and have the 8th worst record.

 

[jirohkanzaki]

because probability states that 33 wins and/or having the 9th worst record would guarantee a win at the nba lottery...stupid miami heat!

 

[Jizzy]

wow, what are the odds. blame frank for playing rj, vc and devin 40 min. each against the bucks the day afetr we were eliminated from contentinon. just our luck

100% of the time it happens 1.7% of the time, I guess
