It's official

[JAMES.SLIMM]

It's done, I think it won't be finalized til Monday because the NBA offices close at 5 and the deal was announced at 5 pm EST

If they are having a firesale and looking to get way under the cap why not Magloire, Nachbar and Wright for Miller? Throw in a 2nd rounder.

</div>

Because he is a good post defender and they have none?

Because he is smart playing the post--averaging less than a turnover a game for his career--and that team is filled with basketball dunces, players like Stromile Swift and other busts like Darko Milicic? He will help by setting picks for Rudy Gay, something no one down there did well?

Because he doesn't complain and that team is filled with complainers, players like Stromile Swift and other busts like Darko Milicic and a diva named Pau Gasol?

Because he actually has a record of TEAM accomplishment, having played in 75 playoff games in six years and played twice in the NBA Finals and Memphis has never gotten out of the first round?
</div>

yeah, to bad iavaroni wants to play uptempo and collins is dead weight. nobody offered anything for swift and he was obviously casuing a problem so the grizz jumped the gun. remember, this is the same team that traded gasol for kwame brown, memphis wants to get rid of the bad mouths so they trade the complainers in gasol and swift, collins has no menaing to them and you're attempt to hype this guy up is sad indeed seeing as you keep saying the game has gone away from him. you're just one big nets propoganda machine, you rarely have any opinion of your own

I posted this before the Laker trade actually went down. Not too far fetched. Actually would've been better for Memphis.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Okay here's a 14 player 3 team trade: NJ-Memphis-LA

Memphis drops $18mm in long term contracts and gain 2 prospects in Sean Williams and Javaris Crittenton plus the Nets & Lakers 1st rounders.
Lakers keep all of their core and add Kidd and Nachbar.
Nets get Gasol, Miller, and Navarro but get saddled with the contracts of Radman and Swift.</div>

Knowing the Nets, I bet Swift fails his physical.

 

[uptown4784]

Can someoe show me a link?relax people we have Magloire

 

[zєяσ]

So will we be able to use him tonight?

 

[ghoti]

I'm sort of sad.

Okay, I have a cool idea: We add in...Antoine Wright, and get Hakim Warrick. Think it could happen?</div>

lol only if Frank promises to play Sean Williams, Stromile Swift, and Hakim Warrick at the same time.

Yep.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ZAE @ Feb 1 2008, 04:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>under breaking news on Hot List it says Lakers, Grizzlies trade P. Gasol for K. Brown... is this a joke?</div>It's kind of a joke. It was more along the lines of Kwame/Java, rights to Marc Gasol and Aaron McKie, '08 and '10 first rounders for Gasol and '10 second round pick.

As for this, it's expected and this is yet another step for the Grizz mainly. They're clearly blowing it up and starting from the bottom, building around Gay, Conley and Crittenton. I'm more than expecting Mike Miller to be gone before deadline as well. Basically, they're looking to get rid of all the guys making a lot of money and on long term deals (aside from Darko).

I hope Jason Collins is the head coach of the Nets someday.
