"...The Bucks are sending out strong signals that they like LSU's Anthony Randolph at No. 8. A legitimate 6-10, Randolph has been called a cross between Tayshaun Prince and Odom. But West Virginia small forward Joe Alexander, a hard-nosed worker, is seen as a better fit with new coach Scott Skiles. ... "
Terry Pluto in Cleveland has this on AV
"Because NBA rules say Varejao can't be traded until Dec. 5 without his approval (don't ask why, long story), that means the new team will probably have to sign Varejao to an extension in order for his agent to OK the trade. So the Cavs must 1.) Find a team that needs Varejao. 2.) Get the team to give the Cavs value in return. 3.) Get Varejao to agree to the trade, and possibly sign him to a new deal. It's not impossible, but it is complicated..........It makes more sense to package Varejao and Szczerbiak (about $18 million combined salaries) to build a deal for Redd, Davis or someone who can make an immediate impact....."
If I were Nuggets fans I would be hopping mad right now!First off the Denver GM is way off base for not accepting the proposed deal with Detriot for Tayshaun Prince and Chauncey Billups for Carmelo Anthony.
Mark Wartkentein you are flat out foolish to turn down this deal! If I am a Nuggets fan I am upset on this one. Two proven stars for one who can't win 'big' in the NBA's Western Conference.
He wants Detriot to take 33 year old high mileage Allen Iverson instead!? You are delusional to think the Pistons would do that. You are dealing two Olympians and a Finals MVP for Melo! That is a great deal for both teams.
I would trade Prince for Melo straight up much less throw in a hometown winner from Colorado like Billups to boot! WTF is he thinking!
I know George Karl would have loved that deal. Two guys who can play defense and who dont get DUI's and smoke pot at practice...persumably.
Wade to Chicago for the #1 and Larry Hughes and Tyrus Thomas plus the first two picks in Rose and Beasley? Wow! That would make Pat Riley the best GM in NBA history right there! In one fell swoop he would have a dynasty.
Don't do it Chicago...Miami would win the next 5 rings after one year to grow together. Easily the most exciting team in the NBA if that goes down.
Terry Porter is looking to bring in TJ Ford in Pheonix which goes to show you how dumb were to fire Porter and trade Ford in the first place! The problem was Redd, Mo and Bogut, not those two!
That was our winning combination right there! And we are still looking for a point guard! Go figure.
Don't know if any of these will go down, but Miami is getting back too much for Wade. But Wade is going home in that deal and he would make the Bulls some money simply by his presence.
Great deal for the Heat. Then they would have enough money perhaps to bring in Elton Brand as well and bring Haslem off the bench! My oh my....
I told you, watch out for the Sixers! Josh Smith or Jamison would help them. They could then lock up Iggy and J Smooth on the same squad with Andre Miller and a budding Thaddeus Young and Sam Delembert....Nice.
It is gonna be a fun week...Oh, and take this with you. This Cleveland reporter is a nut if he thinks we want Varejo and Wally's world two of the sorriest and softes players in the NBA for Redd! Hey, Cavs nuts!
YOU ARE NOT GETTING REDD FOR THAT GARBAGE OK...SO GET LOST or come up with a better trade and then you still don't do it if you are Hammond!
Why in the world did Denver turn down that deal....???????
