I think there is still just as good of a chance of the Sacto deal happening before the actual deadline than there is now. Sacto was probably just setting a deadline so they can move on and pursue other deals...it does not mean they are going to find one they like better.

Our expierings have been a major reason for our success. I still say Lets get Johan Petro for a 2nd rounder and get it over with. Suspence is killing me.


Only problem is that those guys could be gone come next off-season.

again imo I don't think this trade was very seriously talked about if at all...if sac is going to let go of garcia I think it would be to get rid of kenny thomas

we may have possibly talked about brad miller straight up but when otis thought about it harder he realized we would be in cap hell and that was the end of it

we may never know the truth

If they wanted Hedo for Miller, then they're insane. Otis would be right to block them out.

Hopefully Wilcox is still on the table for the Sonics, and hopefully Haslem is a possibility too. Unfortunately everything looks dead at this point.

Im thinking we might land Artest now. KT to Spurs must mean not enough expirings or something. We would be able to give more than the Spurs would have been able to... Just a thought

I really don't trust that Ginger.....

But I still don't think we are after Artest.

The Kings deal died of course. The reason? They wanted Hedo as well. Way to much to give up so Otis said no.

Now the word is the Magic are going hard after Wilcox now that Thomas has landed in SA. They will have to take the contract of Watson in return and from what I heard the only hold is whether the Magic think Wilcox and Watson are worth giving up a future 1st round pick.

The trade would be Bogans or Reddick, Arroyo, Garrity and a future 1st rounder for Wilcox and Watson.

I don't think it is a bad deal IMO. Watson is a good defender and good upgrade over Arroyo. Wilcox is the young good PF we need to place beside Howard at a cheap price.

Denver will give in and give up Kleiza now that just about all their rivals have made moves

Artest will be in Denver

Get it done, Otis! We don't need a late first rounder anyway.

They really don't have any one else to trade for Artest.

If the Kings deal is dead, can we update the name of the thread?
