Ska its been going on long enough...time to lock....

[willinc]

Yea about that

I'll pass on Josh Howard

Id rather keep Marion/ Haslem and figure out what to do with them later on

 

[miamib30514]

^^^^ true. we need a center.

but it all depends what happens at the lottery. if we dont get 1 or 2, there will be a trade regardless.

shawn marion and ricky davis for j-smoke.

 

[spydertbl]

If there is no any dramatic blockbuster trade, Lakers still looking good for next season !!!

There's no chance in hell we get Marion PLUS a good player for Josh, it's just not happening. We should be packaging the player, not them. Face it,Marion's stock is a lot higher than Josh's. Also, I love Haslem, he's a great player, does the dirty work, he reminds me a lot of Bass, except alot more defined as a player. If the Heat didn't get a 1/2 pick, think we could snag it?

 

[darthska]

Oh my GOSH, Camby on the Warriors would be a PROBLEM.

Veto it, Pop!

Because Marion for Howard straight up isn't one-sided enough.

At first instinct I thought the same, but after watching him in the series against LA
Im pretty skeptical about his help defense...if he even does it.

Is Elton Brand going to be a free agent come this offseason? If yes, then Warriors better sign him. If he's still under contract with the Clippers, thentrade Al Harrington and the Warriors' 2008 first round pick to the Clippers for Brand.

, even I wouldn't make that trade. Yall way too easy on these trades, not every trade happens like the Pau Gasol one did. That wouldn'teven be considered a steal if that trade happened. That's a bank robbery.

stop lying. if you'd trade your lungs/heart/testes forAl, what would u trade for Brand?

but yeah, i don't think the warriors are realistically getting Brand. They ain't trading him to a division rival, and I don't think a Baron forBrand type of swap would be beneficial for both teams. I'd LOVE to have Brand but he's probably untouchable at least this offseason.

You never know, anything can happen this offseason.

Does anyone here knows if Elton Brand is a free agent?

 

[mjshoefanatic]

EB aint going nowhere.

86 ya'self!

 

[japanair21]

He's restricted if I remember correctly, or he has an ETO (early termination option). But regardless, he doesn't want out of LA, he has never statedthat. He's stated actually that he wants to stay there. There was no beating around the bush with him like most athletes.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

^ He has a ETO.

Brand has confidence in playing a full season with a healthy Kaman and super rook 'Al Thornton' and so do I. However, B-Diddy does sound mightytempting but not for #42.

Yeah, and packaging the pick with him? Not a chance. Clips are in great position right now, especially with that upcoming draft pick. If the cardsare dealt in the hands of the Clippers like they were for the Blazers last year (6th to last seed gets the #1 pick), then they're in great shape. Prettymuch automatic top-seven pick, that's a Mayo, Gordon, Love, and could get lucky and get Bayless, or hell even Rose.

Getting Baron and giving up EB(still a top 5 PF in my eyes) AND a great pick?

EDIT: I misread, WARRIORS pick and Baron, that's better, but still, ehh.

It doesn't sound like we have the pieces for a Brand trade to Golden State. I don't know where this Brand for Baron rumors started... probablysomeone's just praying

.

 

[aj23tokb24]

Ok, if the Elton Brand going to Golden State is not gonna work, then who else is out there for the Warriors to get?

Jermaine O'neal maybe??

Marcus Camby to the Warriors is also a good idea, if that happens then Biedrins will be his backup.

But then again, the Warriors needs a big man who can run up and down AND can play in the low post so when they have a poor shooting game they can just feed theball to the big man and do the work.

Two problems with Jermaine O'Neal, he's injury prone and he's expected to earn $20 million next season.
Do the Warriors even want to take onan injury prone PF that is earning $20 million? Yeah, he can opt out and sign for whatever, but when you have $20 million guaranteed to you, what incentive isthere for you to basically take a paycut? I say paycut because Cohan (Warriors owner) has made it every clear that we're not going to go over the cap andpay the luxury tax. We already have to re-sign Monta, Andris, Baron, and get a whole new bench. One incentive is getting out of Indiana and starting newsomewhere else, but ehh... players these days most of the time will go for the money.

And any smart GM will not sign an injury prone PF somewhere close to $20 mil/yr.

 

[acidicality]

In a realistic scenario, Camby and Brand are the two targets I'd go for. I wouldn't want JO esp due to his salary...obviously there are otherplayers I'd really love to go for, but no way their teams trade them

Just admit it... you want Powe

.

 

[acidicality]

honestly i was thinkin dwight howard, greg oden, players likethat....but yeah i'll take powe as well

 

[paul is on tilt]

Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind having any one of those guys you mentioned either

.

 

[nycknicks105]

The Knicks wouldn't be in bad shape if we did get Camby back. Dude contract ends 2010

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Howard for Maggette + fillers

Do it Cuban! Agree to it Sterling/Baylor!
