Not J.R.!

There goes our future starting 2 guard...

one of the best decisions that can take Danny Angie

Still doesn't work in the trade checker.

Impossibile, Non JR. Il mio giocatore preferito

I hope you're joking.

Lost in another thread, here's my fantasy idea to piggyback on the Darko deal:

Darko has tons of untapped potential, but expectations were too high after going #2 in the draft.  He's a good passer and shooter, high-post guy, and defender, so he should be a perfect fit for the triangle offense, and should probably start next to KLove or Al (which is the problem...which one?).

Any chance we get in on this with the Nate/House trade?

Here's one that works on ESPN's trade machine:

BOS:  Nate, Gomes
NYK:  House, Giddens(cut), Cardinal (and BOS 2nd round pick)
MIN:  Darko, Scal (and BOS 1st round pick)

I'm not sure how picks work for salary in trades, but I'd swap a late 1st rounder for Gomes and Scal's expiring.  He'd be a decent big 3/small 4 off the bench, and the last 2 years of his deal are only partially guaranteed.  Minny could get more for him, but I'm hoping they see him as a too-expensive backup on their squad, and comparable enough to Scal, who would cost half as much or less than Gomes.

It's close, though, within around $35k.  It could very well be that the salary commonly reported for one of the three players -- Robinson, House, or Giddens -- is incorrect.

For instance, players often have certain bonuses in their contracts, which are not, I believe, reflected in the salaries reported on sites like shamsports, hoopshype, etc.

Also, I'm unsure of whether Robinson's $1 million playoff bonus has to be factored into the trade, as it is now "likely to be achieved", rather than "unlikely to be achieved".

It's close. I bet if you add Shelden, it works. [Nope, no dice there, either.]

I doubt Robinson's playoff bonus (sheesh) can be factored in.

I think this trade only goes through if a third team is involved.

If all it takes is to include Giddens, I find it funny that the deal isn't finalized yet.

thank god...that has been a disaster

Getting rid of Eddie House and Giddens in one trade and getting back an electric bench scorer who can keep the pressure on while Rondo is resting?

I LOVE YOU DANNY!!!

I hate to say it, but Nate might be the ONLY Celtic who could score 40+ points in a game now...Heaven knows none of the Big 3 can anymore.

[Tough Juice]

I still think Pierce can score 40 in a game, I'm absolutely sure Ray Allen can, he drop 51 before 9 months on Bulls, he just need to be feed with the ball and he'll find his game, Nate I don't think so, because he won't get so much shots
