No.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

No.

He's a chucker.

LMA for Love on the other hand......

Whether I would or wouldn't is kind of irrelevant. Since LMA has been given his extension by the Blazers, he's pretty much untradeable this year due to the "poison pill provision". From the NBA CBA FAQ page:

If a team trades an extended rookie between the date his extension is signed and the date it takes effect, his "trade value" for the receiving team is the average of the salaries in the last year of the scale contract and each year of the extension. This is called the poison pill provision. The sending team uses the player's actual salary when calculating their outgoing salary. They use the current-year maximum salary in place of the (unknown) maximum salary for a future season, if necessary.

Here is an example of a poison pill calculation: Carmelo Anthony earns $4,694,041 in 2006-07, the final year of his rookie scale contract. Prior to October 31, 2006 he signed a five year extension (bringing the total seasons to six) for the maximum salary, with the maximum 10.5% raises. Anthony's actual salary will not be determined until July 2007, when the maximum salary amounts for 2007-08 are set. During the 2006-07 season the 2006-07 maximum is assumed for the 2007-08 season ($13,762,775), and the salary in subsequent seasons is based on this amount ($15,070,550, $16,378,325 and $17,686,100, respectively). If Anthony is traded during the 2006-07 season, then his outgoing salary from the Nuggets' perspective is his actual salary of $4,694,041. His incoming salary from the other team's perspective would be $13,518,358 -- the average of his 2006-07 salary and the assumed salaries in the extension.

yes i would.... 100 times.


and why the fuck isnt pritchard going after jamison or murphy? ummmm exactly what we need this year and next. hes so bad whens he not in the lotto. so bad and no vision.

 

[Nikolokolus]

So let's assume Greg comes back and is able to play and stays somewhat healthy ... where exactly do these two guys (Al and Greg) fit together on the offensive end of the court?

Hey, if Parish and McHale could pull it off..

Mchale was capable of playing in the high post, something that neither of Greg or Al are all that well suited to.

The only term I had ever heard of linked to McHale was Black Hole. Oops, same one attributed to Jefferson.

How do you know that he hasn't?

And? It doesn't mean that Big is untalented, I just think he and Greg would be getting in each other's way ... at the very least Greg would be getting in the way of the more offensively talented Jefferson. I'm not saying you couldn't do it, it would just be awfully risky.

 

[ABM]

And?

All I was saying was that Parish and McHale somehow successfully occupied the same space.

Doesn't matter, though. We ain't gettin' Jefferson. I just like yanking MIXUM's chain.

 

[drexlersdad]

al jeff is basically zbo, no thanks.

 

[odenied]

no but I would give up bayless, webster, cunningham and outlaw and this trade works...

 

[44Thrilla]

Al Jefferson is a great talent in the low post. However, he plays no defense and can't seem to stay healthy. I would stick with LMA.

There are a few other terms floating around abut K-Mac

3 Time NBA Chamption
7 Time All Star
6 Time NBA All Defensive Team
1 Time NBA Defensive Player of the Year
Hall Of Fame Inductee
One of NBA's 50 Greatest Players (selected by NBA for 50th Anniversary)

But yeah . . . Danny Ainge famously called McHale the Black Hole. Is that a bad thing when you shoot 55-60%??

 

[illmatic99]

Add:

-Failed to build a legit team around one of the greatest PFs ever to play the game.
-Traded Brandon Roy for Randy Foye + $1 mil cash.

 

[44Thrilla]

- looks like Frankenstein

 

[BenDavis503]

I absolutely would. Or Love. Either one.
