Yay or Nay?

I'm interested but we're giving up more talent than you by far.

Thornton should be appealing to us (just like Mayo). Our backup shooting guards are unreliable scorers (being generous), and outside of Tyrus we really have no one to count on for scoring off the bench.
Humble yourself.

Which is why I'd like to get 2 good players for Crash instead of just a player and a pick, because it would be filling a hole on the bench.

The Cavs gave up a pick for freaking Antawn Jamison and his craptastic contract and yet they demand a lottery pick in addition to an in-his-prime borderline all-star for nothing? Wacky.

Jax for Caron Butler would be a far preferable salary dump if that's on the table.

Just saying... I think if Charlotte didn't back out of that deal with Toronto in the summer, they'd be a lot better with Calderon as their PG and Reggie Evans rebounding everything behind Tyrus Thomas... Dampier really got nothing but cap space and Diaw isn't that good as a starting PF... Jordan was the best to every play, but he doesn't know how to run a team properly... Wallace should not be let go for nothing - what's the point of having a team if your giving people away to save money.

Jax for Caron SUCKS because Jax is worth a whole hell of a lot more than a salary dump.

We'd have an even worse record since Calderon sucks and Diaw has been doing good things. Don't blame Jordan for every rumor that appears.

Please step away from the keyboard. Caleron SUCKS and our problem isn't rebounding, Evans is a black hole, he rebounds really well but brings nothing else and his ft shooting is atrocious.

Yeah our team doesn't get its rebounding from that position. Diaw boxes out and the rest of the team eats up a lot of his rebounds. Calderon, as we've both said, sucks. He doesn't even have youth to claim.

Diaw + Thomas > Thomas + Evans
and
DJ > Calderon (even without considering their contracts)

also

Kwame for money we pay him > Chandler and money he is paid
