OKC/DAL Trade

Jerry Stackhouse

for

Joe Smith
Damien Wilkens

Not a big time move, but it adds depth in two of our weakest spots. Although the play of Gerald Green and Antoine Wright has been pretty good the main thing is we get low post help in a veteran Joe Smith. Any takers

Well anything for Stackhouse is better than what we have now...

Not necesarily. Players like Kenny Thomas, Eric Snow, James Jones, are examples of many players on 2 year deals that are not worth the lux tax and/or their own salary. Antoine Walker and the likes are cancerous. Eddie Curry, Jason Kapono, Reggie Evans, Jared Jeffries, Andres Nocioni, Nazr Mohammad, Marcus Banks, Matt Carroll, Jamaal Tinsley, Radmonovic, Sasha Vujacic, Luke Walton, Marco Jaric, Dan Gadzurac, Darius Songaila are all on 3+ year deals that are paid too much.

Other players that would normally be worth it, but does not put us over the top and kills us 2010 are players like Morris Peterson, James Posey, Michael Pietrus, Boris Diaw, Beno Udrih, Deshawn Stevenson.

I'm sue there ae a lot more examples, but I don't want to look further.

Some players are better being cut.

I say lets wait til Dec. 25 til we can actually get deals going and see what the most talent we can get for him and JUMP on the oppurtunity.

True, it may be better to just let Stack go, but we're also in desperate need of a point guard since JJ Barea is the reincarnation of Mike Izzalino from yesteryear.

If only JJ was iuzzolino! He had some good stats

I would not trade Stackhouse until the trade deadline. At that point a decision should be made. He is still a valuable player when he is competely healthy...which is not often. I would not just trade Stack for the sake of getting rid of him. I would save him if he is needed as part of a bigger deal. If there are not any deals to be made hopefully he will accept his lessor role and get healthy for the playoffs.

I agree for the most part. I think Stack will have at least another 3 week vaccation, maybe longer. To be able to make that much money while on vaccation would be nice. Closer to the trade deadline some teams who will not make the playoffs would be more apt to clear better players for cap savings. Or vice versa...maybe Atlanta wants that extra bump and Dallas wants to save money (Terry-Stack for Bibby-Evans). Who knows? But the offer will be better in Feb than it will be in Nov and Stack can rack in the money watching TV and cooking. Plus, if Dallas has some severe injuries to our current swingmen, we can always re-activate him.
