Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
The Knicks aren't trying to get Joe Johnson'd.
We already had every PG on the roster break down last year. By that 3rd year...Nash's back will be toast.
It felt nice to get Nash but not mortgaging the farm for him.
Knicks need to move on ASAP.Comment

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
I believed in Rich Cho as the Blazers GM as well, it's a shame he wasn't allowed a couple years...
On a side note, I came up with a four team trade that would benefit all teams that are looking to shake up their rosters.
Add in one first rounder from the Bulls to the Magic, and I believe it would be a deal... I'll explain for each team
Bulls - You get Dwight Howard, simple as that. I believe being in Chicago with Rose might make him change his mind about signing an extension only in Brooklyn. You also obtain Duhon as depth, even though he is not very good. The downside is you get the terrible contract of Turkoglu, but he would help with point forward duties as Rose is out.
Magic - By adding Noah, Williams, and Gibson the Magic would have a formidable front court with potential. They also would obtain a first rounder from the Bulls. This pick would obviously be late in the draft, but they couldn't ask for much more after they unloaded Turkoglu's contract. Wes Johnson and Martel Webster are just fillers. They are definite buyout/waive candidates. This trade would allow the Magic to not overpay for Ryan Anderson, and they would definitely be looking at a top pick in 2013 to pair with Noah, Williams, and Gibson as building blocks.
Lakers - They trade Pau Gasol (basically their only true PF on contract), for a shooter/defender in Deng, a point guard who would be an upgrade over Blake, and Darko who would provide blocks and passing for the second unit. If they were able to resign Jordan Hill, this would be a great trade.
Wolves - They unload three bad contracts and one potential starter to obtain a quality big man to pair with Love and Pekovic.
That guy clearly didn't see the Asik contract if he thinks the Fields one is the dumbest of the offseason.Comment

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
I do believe Fields is worth 4-5 mill which means in NBA terms he's a 6 mill guy.. but it would have to be in the right fit. Toronto certainly isn't one of those.Comment

He's not the right fit, and the motive behind it is what makes it even worseComment

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
At least Asik is a useful player. Raptors paid $20 million to give them a better shot at Nash. Fields doesn't help them at all.

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
Much like the Asik deal, it's overpaying for certain but it's not as bad as it appears. I think what makes it awful is that Fields doesn't help Toronto one bit. He's not the player they really need even though he's a SF and they need a 3.... he might be left out of the rotation before it's all said and done.
Much different than the Asik deal, where Chicago would feel the impact, NY won't blink an eye, lol
ehh hit the nail on the head. Fields is not much different than a D-League swingman.
We're not trying to bash Fields...this is just the truth. He's not worth $20M over 3 years.
I can't wait for the Knicks to tell him and Nash to take a hike.Comment

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
If they're willing to spend that much money on Landry Fields JUST to get Steve Nash, they might as well just offer Nash the max and skip the Landry Fields step.Originally posted by G PericoIf I ain't got it, then I gotta take it

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012
I'd take the Asik deal over Fields. That's because we've been watching Landry Fields for 2 years straight and he has shown ZERO improvement.

Honestly though, what is Landry worth? I said 4-5 mill....Comment

JR Smith
Novak
FA Big
With Nash we get the $100m Amare that we want. The ball movement will get much better. Melo will get easier looks. Obviously we lose our defensive guy to put on other good perimeter players but I think we have to take the chance.
My theory is that with Nash we get a much better Amare, a better Melo and a still efficient Chandler. Hopefully a better JR too.
I'm also in the group that feels Lin is a middle of the road starting point guard and that without Nash the team probably won't get past the ECSF."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier
