David has a Danish passport and spent 9 years in Europe professionally (vs only 1 year in Australia league) so it's OK to call him a Euro player.

we're gonna pay jeffries about the same amount this year anyway to also be a 3rd stringer
plus Brooks might be dealt (or leave as a free agent) so Lowry would be the starter and Bibby his backup.

Bibby will make $5,564,767 this season and $6,217,617 next season.
Atlanta would want JJ for that one less year.
I heard the Hawks want to start Jeff Teague their 1st round pick of 2009 at PG

He wouldn't necessarily be a 3rd stringer since Adelman likes playing 2 PGs so Bibby might be Kevin's backup before Chase/JT
Brooks might be traded or leave as a free agent next summer.

How about...
Jose to Indiana, TJ to Houston and Battier+Jeffries to Toronto, along with NYKs first rounder?
It sheds another $6 mil of Houston's payroll, getting them under the tax threshold entirely, and gets them another point guard (that they seem to be looking for). TJ is from Texas and expires, so there is no added long term commitment. The Rockets would also generate a $6 mil TPE that can be used into next year's contract season.
For Indiana, they get a decent starting PG who would actually run a stable offense and feed Granger as much as they want. They have a ton of expirings after this season, so Jose's additional 2 years aren't as big a deal as they might be elsewhere.
Toronto takes on salary for one year, but both players are expirings, so it balances out with shedding Jose's 3 remaining years. The draft pick is the main result, which reduces the need for Toronto to suck in order to get high picks, as we'll have the high pick from NYK.
A Battier/Kleiza combo at SF is pretty good and a vet like Shane would fit really well on a young roster. He could be traded at the deadline to a team looking for a good wing defender to throw at Kobe, James, etc...
No desire for Dunleavy. I have a hard time seeing anyone taking him, unless Indy is willing to take on a longer, equally inflated contract.

Think if we would've given them the Chuckwagon. It would be breaking 60+ right now.

I keep hearing people say he is the Australian version of Dwight Howard and just his presense in the paint makes his opposition's penis go down two sizes due to fear. Is there any truth in this?
