Rod Carney for Delonte West

The money works.

Philly needs a 20-25 mpg point if it hopes to move Andre Miller. Delonte, a Philly college player, has no real future in Seattle. Even though he's a natural two, 6'4" lefty, he can play point half a game.

Carney, though having underwhelmed in Mo Cheeks' 'snailball' system, has great upside with a good coach. Mo Cheeks ain't a decent coach. Carney was a #17 pick, I believe.

Seattle saves around $1 mil in payroll next year if it makes the deal.

Delonte's 'qualifying offer' for next season is $2.7 mil; Carney is under contract for around $1.7 mil next year, $1.5 mil this year.

I'd really like this for the Sixers if Silly Green is moved.

But it looks like Miller may stay.

How can you say West has no future in Seattle?

The guy is 24 has at least 6 more years in the league and Seattle is a young team. And there is always a spot for a guy who can play D and shoot the three.

Seattle may think about this offer but West hasn't been healthy enough to actually show what he can do on a nightly basis. So until West has run a few more miles in a Sonic uni Seattle declines.
