i tossed this out there in a couple of other posts today after suggesting something similar before New Year's:
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=348~3023~3425~2188~2794&teams=29~29~29~2~2&te=&cash=it's changed from baby and TA to powe and house, in order to make it more attractive to memphis. they could use help at the 4 in a big way, and some shooting to compliment mayo. eddie would have to approve the trade. so to me, TA and eddie are interchangable here. i can't stand watching either of them play and don't feel they're keys to us winning again this year. a combo of cassell and gabe can EASILY replace eddie's role (when was the last bog shot he made? does he use his fingers when he dribbles or just his palms?), and ross immediately moves ahead of TA in the rotation anyway.
i'm not going to go thru a big justification on this, other than to say that baby has been pretty good lately from a defensive standpoint, leon has been shaky at best, and warrick is a dynamic offensive weapon. we're not really going to pay leon some large sum to stay in green next year, i don't believe. maybe he'll come cheap, but i'd rather pay warrick. i also think ross is severly underrated as a defensive garbage man.
would you do this deal? would memphis do this deal?
