Correct and Martin and Scola would go to NO.

That would be interesting indeed

Are you hoping it happens?

On what planet is Caron Butler a worse pickup than Mike Dunleavy?

BTW, is Dunleavy really only 30? Hasn't he been 30 for like 10 years now?

Sorry I mean the other way. Why would he sign with them?

But yea Mike Dunleavy looks like he still in High School/ College lol

I'm pretty shocked Dumars brought Prince back. When I saw his name pop up I thought it was a S&T but apparently we're keeping him. At least the contract is nice. I'm worried about this Knicks news and the possibility of Billups being amnestied, worried because Dumars would probly try to set up a 7 year reunion with the '04 squad, bid for Chauncey, convince Sheed to unretire, and make an offer to the Wolves for the human victory cigar.

We would grab Mike Dunleavy and let Mbah A Moute walk...

So if the Lakers are working on CP3, where does that leave Baron Davis? Maybe Charlotte?

Milwaukee could overpay for an old, over the hill player.

No, you hush it you.

No, you hush it you.

Just sayin, man, I've heard people suggest that Baron wants to reunite with his old coach.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

That's unreal.

You're basically giving up All-Star PG Chris Paul for Scola, Martin and picks??

The other 30 owners must be asleep at the wheel to let this go thru.

Seeing how teams rarely get equal value when trading superstars, I'd say that's the best they're probably going to get.

Flexibility for whom?

Billups has 1 year on his contract. Turiaf has 1 year on his contract.

Dallas is left with Brendan Haywood at Center. Caron Butler is gone.

I understand the Mavs are clearing room for Deron Williams and Dwight Howard in 2012...but this doesn't affect that.

Unless Dallas says screw a S&T and goes after Nene now.

Ok that would make sense, because they could use them as trade pieces too. I didnt realize those two had one year left.

As far as center, Dallas has gone the undersized route before with players like Bass and I doubt they would want Turiaf to be their back up at center. They have the young Ian Mahimi who came up with the Spurs who they have been "grooming". He has shown some flashes. I imagine the Mavs will give Mahimi a shot at the rotation, but they will certainly bring in a vet to back up. Ive been hearing that Jeff Foster is a possibility for the minimum (played for Carlisle in Indy)

Not directed solely at you PPM, but does everyone think that Houston package is better than Rondo, Jeff Green, and draft picks? Personally I'm not too sure. I feel like Rondo is someone you can build a team around (not saying he'd be the best player but that he could be your 2nd best player and if you have solid guys around him, you'd be in good shape). I think Scola and Martin are just complementary pieces.

Dont they have Haywood? Do they need another center?

I refuse to believe Scola and Martin were the best offers N.O. would have gotten.

Guys were talking about Steph Curry, Eric Gordon, Rondo, etc.

I mean damn. No way.

Tell those people to hush it.
