alfdogg 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 A few more rumors thrown out from HoopsHype, if you guys are interested. Before this trade went down, one was being discussed with the main pieces being Stoudemire to Miami, Marion and Rudy Gay to Phoenix, and Beasley to Memphis. A deal of Stoudemire for Gay, Mike Conley, and Hakim Warrick was rejected by Memphis. Dallas and New Jersey are/were in talks again, with this deal sending Vince Carter, Keyon Dooling and Eduardo Najera to Dallas for Josh Howard and...Jerry Stackhouse. Dun dun DUN. But, Dallas does not want to include Josh Howard in a deal for Carter, unless the Nets also include Brook Lopez, which isn't happening. Carter to Houston for Ron Artest and spare parts has also been discussed. The Clippers reportedly offered Baron Davis and Chris Kaman to Dallas for Jason Kidd, but Dallas, also still holding out hope for 2010, is not interested in taking back their contracts. The Nets have also had talks about Mike Miller, Caron Butler, and Larry Hughes. The latest Stoudemire-to-Bulls rumor was for Gooden, Sefolosha, Thomas, and Cedric Simmons. Larry Hughes to Washington for Etan Thomas and Mike James was discussed. Richard Jefferson and Luke Ridnour to Portland for Travis Outlaw, Sergio Rodriguez, Raef LaFrentz and a draft pick.

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 This "waiting for 2010" bullshit is getting on my nerves. The likelihood of these superstars jumping to moribund franchises because they have a little extra dough is a pipe dream. Building your team on the hope that you hit the lottery two years from now is a serious slap in the face to your fans and the complete wrong way to build your franchise. Some smart GM is going to clean up in the next year or two as these FA-happy GMs start unloading good players at the chance to have money for a player that will never come to their team.

PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 That one doesn't make a ton of sense. My overpaid crap for yours? It frees up more space for Beasley and also gives them a center that's not complete and total garbage. He may be a broke down shell of his former self, but JO is still a marked improvement over the Joel Anthony/Jamaal Magloire/Mark Blount trifecta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still trying to figure out how he is still the GM. He won't make it to next year. The only reason he's hung on this long is that he has the ear of owner Robert Sarver.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 I'd like to thank Steve Kerr for destroying the Suns from the inside. It's nice to know that the Knicks aren't the only franchise capable of hiring a man who is seemingly out to make the team worse than it was at all costs.
