no losing Hedo.

If Sac can cut Miller's 11M salary for 3 more years, their cap would be around 30M. I doubt Garcia would be involved since Artest will probably opt out.

brad miller gives us a different attitude up front, he is a mad man at times..i would say no way to this, but the way the trade deadline has been going, anything is possible this year..can otis really pull something like this off though?

Also my source has said that Otis not wanting to trade JJ is holding up a Haslem or Wilcox to Orlando deal. Unfortunately our biggest enemy is the luxury tax and JJ.

Except for the blocking, isn't he what we pictured Darko to be - a good passing and shooting big man?

That said, I'd do the deal.


dude have you payed attention to his stats this year? hes doing great. question for dunk? if this trade is likely to happen is it possible we wont see arroyo bogans and garitty at the game

If this deal goes down...would that mean it costs us Battie and JJ Redick? Don't the kings want to get rid of Kenny Thomas's contract???

I think thats one of the main problems. Otis only wants to get rid of garbage. He's saying the 75% of our roster is untouchable. Its hard to agree to any trade when you only have a couple of players to pick from. Especially when those players are Arroyo, Garrity, Gortat, and Augustine.

Am i the only one who's suspect of this deal happening? I mean it really doesn't make sense. Wouldn't they (Kings) be more inclined to trade Salmons before Garcia?

It is possible. Of course from what understand the Kings want to do this deal. It is all on Otis and I'm not sure of the players involved. I do know Hedo is going no where.

This year, but he's not played a full season his entire career. The closest was 2 seasons ago with 79. Last season he missed 9 games (~10% of the season) and scored only 9 per game.

I've always thought he'd a good fit. And as I said, playing next to Dwight would help him tremendously.

I hope your source is right and this deal is done, we need a pf like Miller next to Dwight and for expirings plus add Garcia, Jinkies Scoob.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Seems too unbalanced....even with the expirings.
