perfect NY/Wash trade idea
Posted: Thu Jan 7, 2010 2:31 am
Since Arenas is suspended, Washington is in need of a scorer (preferable a pg). The knicks are trying to reduce 2010 salary.
Hence,
NY trades: Robinson Jeffries and 2010 second rounder
Wash trades: James, Oberto and McGee
Why for NY: They reduce enough salary to allow for 2 max contracts next season, and they also acquire a project center who should fit well in their system
Why for Wash: They add a very good young scoring pg who fills right in for Arenas. They get a solid bench player in Jeffries who can play the 4 or 5. In addition, they don't give up any players of real substance. They also get a 2nd round pick in a deep draft class. A starting lineup of Nate, Miller, Butler, Jamison and haywood is extremely young and will be competitive.
