but the C's can get daniels and drop Pruitt anyway. Expiring TA and Veal contracts should be able to get more than Dooling and Hassell. C's are losing 2 guys that can play PF in BBD and Veal and not getting any size back in the deal. They also lose a guy with potential in Walker.
Not a great trade for the C's by any means
Like it or not, TA and Veal have negative value UNLESS you are taking an unreasonable long term contract in return. Sure, we could take back a deplorable contract like Nocioni offering up Scalabrine, Allen, Walker, and Pruitt .. but I want no part of that ugly contract. I don't want Najera's contract either if that makes you feel any better.
If I were to rate the best players in the deal, I'd go:
1. Marquis Daniels
2. Glenn Davis
3. Keyon Dooling
4. Bill Walker
The rest of the players in the package really don't offer much.
Maybe you could rotate the deal to this:
To Boston: Marquis Daniels and Keyon Dooling
To NJ Nets: Glenn Davis and Tony Allen
To Indy: Jarvis Hayes, Chris Douglas Roberts, and Gabe Pruitt
I do either deal and feel the value placed on Veal and TA is inflated.
