Double s&t: ATL and NJ

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Has Been Waiting For This

by Kevin Yeung

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is playing meaningful playoff minutes as a rookie, showing that craft has perhaps become an underrated quality in the draft, compared to more traditional traits such as wingspan, athleticism or shooting.

ATL Trades: Josh Childress (s&t starting at 6 mil), Speedy Claxton, Zaza Pachulia and Soloman Jones (waived)
(total outgoing: $13,007,035)
ATL Gets: Nenad Krstic (s&t starting at $6 mil), Stromile Swift and Keith Van Horn
(total incoming $15,992,112)

NJ Trades: Nenad Krstic (s&t starting at $6 mil), Stromile Swift and Keith Van Horn
(total outgoing: $12,992,112)
NJ Gets: Josh Childress (s&t starting at $6 mil), Speedy Claxton, Zaza Pachulia and Soloman Jones (waived)
(total incoming: $16,007,035)

Why for Atlanta: They get an offensive big man and a true center in Krstic, while turning Speedy Claxton's dreadful contract into Van Horn's non-guaranteed contract.

Why for New Jersey: They fill the massive hole at SF that was created from the Jefferson trade. They also consolidate their big man situation and get a veteran backup PG if they want to trade Marcus Williams.

Heck yes from the Hawks, even if that's too much for Krstic.

I like the idea, but I'm not swapping big-for-small AND taking on this much salary. Swap KVH for Hassell (partially guaranteed for '09-'10) at least, or just remove KVH and Claxton.

I just don't know if Childress is worth 6 million a year on a long term contract.
