that's terrible for Miami.
Miami can get so much more for Bosh. That's terrible.
You're basically offering up Batum and EWill for Rondo and Bosh. Come on.
Miami laughs and blocks your calls.
it's not just ewill and batum for rondo. You're taking Bosh as well. They've shown they can win games without him. Woohoo. So they're just going to dump him? Oden COULD pan out to something amazing. Yeah. And he could here. If they want him, they can just sign him in the offseason when he is a free agent. Because he isn't panning out to anything amazing this season. Rhino and Camby. Oh boy! That's shit. Bosh is a top 25, top 30 player in the league, at least. And you're offering up Camby and Rhino. No. It's AWFUL for them.
For all of you that want to continue to compete in futility, here is a good trade
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7q8h3fm
Portland would also send 3 mil to Milwaukee, and a future 1st 2015 to Minnesota.
If Beasly for Crawford happens. I would do this trade soon after. Seems Orlando wants Nash bad. They think Nash would be perfect to compliment Howard and keep him in Orlando.
Three-team deal between PDX, PHX, ORL
Portland trades: Matthews, G. Wallace, R. Felton. They receive: Nelson, Redick, Frye and Orlando's first rounder.
Orlando trades: Nelson, Reddick, their first rounder and R. Anderson. They receive: Nash, Matthews and Warrick.
Phoenix trades: Nash, Frye and Warrick. They receive G. Wall, Felton and Anderson.
New starting line-up: Nelson, Batum, Beasly, Aldridge, Frye
Key reserves: Reddick, E Will, Pryzbilla and Thomas. I would try and release or use Chris Johnson to one of the teams, so we can sign Mills too. I think he would be a good back-up.
Mags you need to stop making trades just to make trades... that team would be HORRIBLE, it would eat up all our cap space, and I guarantee we wouldn't be better than we are right now. Seriously, I would rather just keep Batum, EWill and Aldridge and build from there. Frye is overpaid. Nelson would be horrible here. Reddick is meh. I don't mind the idea of Beasley but it's a big gamble.
Actually it wouldn't. We would still have 10-12 mil still to offer. We traded Matthews; which is guaranteed 7 mil this summer. There is no guarantee that Wallace will opt out, so it only leaves "Failton's expiring of 7.6 mil"
If you look closely at this deal: Matthews 6.1, Wallace 9.5, and Failton 7.6 = That is 23 mil. We get back 21 mil in contracts. If we have them get a Smith for an additional 1.7 mil; it's not that bad.
you have to save the trade, and then post the link

Thoughts on these?
I've always felt like Memphis was misusing Mayo and I think he could flourish as a ball-dominant guard similar to BRoy. At worst he's an expiring, at best, putting the ball in his hands and letting him run the show could be a steal (he's been a headache and a "me" player, but you can't deny his talent)... He's the type of guard you could put next to somewhat more passive guys like Aldridge and Batum.
Memphis has won 9 of their last 10 games and is making a push to be competitive in the playoffs like they did last year. Wallace would come in as a glue/hustle guy, or Crawford could come in and provide more experience in a very similar role that they're using Mayo in now...
I guess I see this as a "worth it" trade from the "why not?" perspective...
I don't hate either trade, but I see no reason to bring in Mayo when we have a player like Williams who might be as good not getting a lot of time
To clarify my idea - I'm suggesting we do this trade to give Mayo a 20ish game tryout at POINT GUARD.
Then sure. Either he or Williams to see if they can play it the right way, not the Nate way. Both played some in college
toronto is not moving their first round pick with calderon. That's terrible.
