    There Is No "Curse"

    There is no Suns curse. The problem is that Jerry Collangelo has been at the Suns helm for so long...and he's a man with class and dignity. Unfortunately, as we have seen recently, there is no room for class and dignity if you want to win in the NBA. Stern has made that perfectly clear. The...

    Any trade ideas with Celtics

    Theo Ratliff is an outstanding shot blocker, but hardly a "rugged" center. He attains excellent defensive positioning, but he can be pushed around by larger centers...he's frequently injured...and he is nearing the end of his career.

    Charlotte roster, salaries

    No one is giving up a lottery pick in this year's deep class...for a future pick in a weaker draft. If Joe Johnson doesn't get injured, Atlanta may not even be in the lottery...add a healthy JJ plus not one...but two lottery picks...and Atlanta's pick should be middle of the pack at best.

    Charlotte roster, salaries

    The only reason to include Piatkowski in any trade would be to make salaries work. No team has Piatkowski as a target, so they'd have to accept that he could retire rather than report...but I don't think he has a no trade clause.

    Charlotte roster, salaries

    Banks (approx $4mil x 4 years) and Diaw ($9mil x 5 years) are now liabilities (not assets) since their contracts are guaranteed, and they exceed their production value. Any trade to unload Bank's salary would have to be along the lines of: Banks + #24 for nothing (and I can't think of many...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    Chandler Per Game: 34.6min/ 12.4 rebounds/ 1.77 blocks/ 9.5 pts H. Armstrong Per Game: 11.3 minutes/ 2.7 rebounds/ 0.46 blks/ 3.1pts Simmons Per Game: 12.4 minutes/ 2.5 reb/ 0.5 blk/ 2.9pts Chandler averages more than Armstrong and Simmons combined. He's not going anywhere.

    Kevin Garnett Thread

    There are differing assumptions being made about Garnett. Facts: (or the facts as close as we have) 1. Garnett hasn't demanded a trade (owner went on record last Wednesday). 2. Garnett can opt out of his contract next year. 3. Garnett would love to play on team that has a real chance at...

    Stat's knees appear to be fine (he played in all 82 games)...and Jason Kidd's knees look fine too...and he's 10 years older.

    Draft Prospects thread

    Does anyone know anything about Center Glen Davis, LSU? He looks like an Oliver Miller type...6'8" 310lbs. "Looking at Glen Davis before actually watching him play, you would assume that he is your typical wide, slow, undersized center that can barely get up and down the court and is just used...

    Elindholm...or anyone else who knows the answer... ...how are trades involving Diaw (who becomes a BYC player) affected if he is traded to a team under the cap?

    Isn't Amare a BYC1 player? And does that make him a BYC2 player this Summer?

    I've wondered the same thing...and you know this can't be the only opposing team's board they go on...they gotta be on Utah's board now too.

    Kevin Garnett Thread

    I'm with you...if Duncan and Robinson can coexist, so can KG & Amare. Their roles may adjust to accomplish team goals...but at this point in KG's career I don't think he's worried about how many points he scores... ...he wants the ring so he won't join Malone as dominant players who have...

    NBA explanation

    Well...except for Duncan and Bowen when they stepped onto the court... ...oh yeah...it's not an altercation when Duncan does it.

    Kevin Garnett Thread

    Agreed. Just curious...The asking price for Garnett seems awfully high for a guy making $22mil and can opt out after one year. If Garnett is a threat to leave Minnesota next year in search of a title...his destination options appear minimal. No one from the Atlantic...Detroit won't pay $22...

    Kevin Garnett Thread

    Trading for Garnett prohibits salary dumping unless: 1. Other core players are involved 2. Low trade value players like Diaw are packaged with draft picks 3. Ignoring other team needs (ie someone who can hit the outside shot in clutch time) Every Suns team the past 3 years have had flaws: 1st...

    Kevin Garnett Thread

    It's exactly why it is relevant. Our payroll was at $68mil last year...and we traded away our draft picks...for nothing...to save money (even though there were decent backup point guards we could have selected). Now our salaries will exceed $90 million if we stay put and add the picks. No...

    I think you mean the luxury tax if you are refering to the dollar for dollar penalty. If that's the case...saving $6.88 million isn't going to help... ...keeping the team intact or trading for KG without any other salary dump moves means the payroll will be over $90 million after tax...
