I used to blame Heisley for the demise of the Grizzlies in Van City, but now I think it makes more sense to just blame you instead.

I'd do Joey+Dixon for Arroyo+Reddick. Arroyo's an upgrade over D-Mart and better at the point than Dixon. He's done at the end of the year so Raps don't have to re-sign him. Joey is simply not useful anymore. Reddick could possibly be a lights out shooter if he ever gets into a groove in this league.

Personally, I really want the Stoudamire trade and just package him + some of our expirings for that+1st for a star guard/small forward.

why would we get reddick too? salary dump? he's too young to be a negative asset just yet... plus we don't need him.

arroyo for dixon and graham

they are all expiring.... no reason not to do it from our end... orlando might want a bit more in which case it might be a backward move for us but, otherwise seems logical..

If we could find some way to get Fran Vasquez, I would be down with that. But I am also 100% sure that Colangelo has looked into this as well. In fact, he probably calls Otis Smith every day about his availability.

Although, I must say that I just checked out his stats and they're not as impressive as I thought they would be. The rebounding numbers in particular look low. Anyone know what's up with him?
