I like all the trades to varying degrees except for the last one.

Nets decline really easily. Even without Krstic.

CLE probably doesn't mind their deal, but what do Hughes and Crawford do together (besides suck)?

The SEA deal is actually decent, but if it's a filler contract coming from CLE, they'd prefer Newble. Tha tway, they can waive Ira and not exceed the roster limit.

The nets deal is terrible, when healthy Kristic has almost the same value as Curry and Jefferson is by far the best player in the trade. Balkman has proven all he will be is a hustle guy that comes of the bench for 15 minutes a game.

I see no incentive for Seattle. The Clev deal is ugly but doable. The NJ deal...closer than the reponses indicate,but NJ got plenty of looks at Curry and he's disturbingly one dimension. If it's Randolph...NJ would be more apt to bite...would need to add fill

Thanks but no thanks from the Sonics. One less year of salary is not enough incentive to trade a decent, young, veteran, pass first PG.
