Expansion Draft

[cepstrum]

Hey does anyone know if the expansion draft is on TV or is it something that you hear about after it happens?

If it is on TV does anyone know what time and on what channel?

Great, tomorow is the ONLY night I HAVE to work late. I will listen to 620 AM out of Phoenix if I can tune it in, because I am sure they are wondering about the Suns position. I don't understand the draft anyway. Can't they just turn a paper into the league tomorrow and say, here are the deals and players we have worked out! Thank you!

I have heard that Jahidi to Charlotte is pretty much a done deal.

That's the rumor. They way the top free agents are going, TMac is gone, Kobe is SUPPOSEDLY gone, LA is trying to strongarm us out of AMare and hopefully Phoenix IS standing firmly at NO! That said, do we really NEED to move Jahidi now for that first round pick. Maybe you take the pick, let Jahadi's contract expire OR make a mid season trade to somebody and PICK UP a draft pick from someone for a role player we could use to help a team with their cap. I could see getting WAY under the cap to get Kobe, but otherwise we really aren't hurting right now either with Jahidi. I would rather get involved in a three way trade and force Eisley into it ala Luc Longley. White would be helpful in that scenario, too! I am just trying to throw out a Devil's advocate theory.

I was kind of wondering that too. If the Suns don't have any worthy FAs to pursue anyway, maybe they're just as well off to keep White.

Don't forget the "use cap space" element in these multi-team trades. It won't get you a superstar, but it can prove valuable. Last year the Spurs picked up Turkoglu just in exchange for cap space.
