Trade proposal from SUNS

I haven't checked out the salary cap issues etc... but, here's my proposal.

We'll give you Steve Kerr (and our 2011 & 2012 draft picks) for Sam Presti.

I'm only throwing in the 2011, and 2012 draft picks because Sam is so brilliant that he'll find a way to steal them back once he's with our team.

What do you think?

haha, oh man. Only If Kerr is an expiring contract and Presti is too. Then maybe we would consider it if we could pick up on Presti after his contract is up. You could have him for 1 draft! (but not this one.)

Come to think of it, Kerr's contract is probably very expensive. I bet it is much more than Presti's. They had to woo Kerr away from TV. Next to Isiah, it is probably the worst contract for a front office position.

I would trade Kerr and D'Antoni for Presti and PJ. Then I'd waive Kerr and hire a new GM.

Lot of D'Antoni haters around these days. I personally love him. Think he's one of the most innovative and smartest coaches in the last decade. PJ... not so much.

He also is a straightshooter and tells it like it is. I like that from a coach.

We can't part with D'Antoni... he might be the only coach in the world who can figure out this whole Shaquisition...
sorry, that trade is off the table. How bout we throw in another 1st rounder instead?

I think the NBA should work like European soccer leagues, where they can loan players out, even if in the same league.

We could keep taking Phoenix's expiring contracts and first round picks, and develop rookies for them. Hey, its a niche. Get in where you fit in...

We will trade for Kerr but we send Bendick Arnold as owner to Phoenix

I don't know what he's supposed to do. Dude has a successful system in place and one of the major pieces of that system is swapped for a player who arguably couldn't be a worse fit. If he wears out his welcome in Phoenix and becomes available., I'd hope P.J. and his collection of 1980's turtlenecks is shown the door.

Don't get in a hurry man. If Ballmer gets the team Presti may be a free agent.
