Trade Kris Humphries to Memphis for Javaris Crittendon

Just asking? Thanks for your time.

Not a terrible offer, but I think that management saw enough in Javaris to warrant not trading him off just yet.

+1

Yeah, if I'm Wallace I would definitely hold on to Crittendon in hopes it helps justify the trade somewhat...

Hump's actually okay but it's not worth the risk of Crittenton exploding somewhere else.

New proposal from Toronto:
Hump + Garbo + 17 for MM + 28

Have to pass on that one as well. Again, not insulting or anything - but it's not what I'd be looking for.

Edit - off the top of my head I'd be more inclined for something along the lines of Miller for Rasho and the 17th pick. Note that the Gizz were reportedly looking for Outlaw and the 13th from Portland. Grizz management has said that they didn't want just a salary dump for Mike, so maybe the 17th pick would be enough to change that mindset.

Thanks for the response and don't worry about it, dude. As long as its constructive criticism, I don't mind taking it.
On another note, when the Outlaw + 13 offer for MM became public, I thought that Memphis was going after Outlaw because he is an expiring for next year.
And why do you want Rasho specifically? Is it the player you like or the expiring contract?
And what about teh 28th pick? You guys wanna keep it?

Rasho because his deal will expire and the Grizz would keep the 28th. The goal would be for the Grizz to gain 1-2 starters and a key reserve (or two) from this draft. Something along the lines, but not limited to (assuming 1-4 is Rose/Beasley/Mayo/Lopez)

#5 Randolph or Love (shore up the 4)
#17 Green or Budinger (starter at the 2)
#28 CDR, Rush, Jawai etc... Solid rotation player

The goal would be to score a 4 or 2 at pick 5 and get the best remaining of the other at 17 - 28 would remain in play for your rotation player.

What about Bargnani and 17th pick for 5th pick and Brian Cardinal?

Bargs is a real PF forced to play Center next to Bosh. If you put him at his real position, with an Italian coach on a team where he can get more shots he will have more opportunity to succeed than with Toronto.

He had a tough second season nagged with injuries but he was a #1 pick and finished 2nd in ROY voting. Is he a wose prospect than Kevin Love or Lopez at the PF spot right now? And you get rid of Cardinal's contract and get a 17th pick to get your future SG.

Toronto does this because they are playing 2 skinny PFs inside, they need a real Center (Jordan?) next to Bosh and also need a SG that can create (Mayo?) now that Jose will be the PG and TJ will be dealt.

This deal could be modified, the Raps also have 20 mil in expiring contracts so if your management want to save even more money by dealing Darko and/or Miller Toronto is always willing to add more Euros or 3pt shooters

Thougths?

Ouch, no thank you. I think that Barg's will bounce back, but I don't think this would be a deal you could sell to the fans here.
