    I know that the Nets just cancelled his deal over concerns about his knee, but they wanted to restructure the deal to lower money, he wasnt willing. So maybe he isnt that damaged and I would love it if we took a chance on a QUality player. SIGN Him SIGM HIM. I know we dont have a lot to offer the 1st year, but what ever is left offer it to him, and more in later years espicelly if he performs. What do you all think

    i think the chances are rare.
    since there were issues in the deal that held it,i'm sour many teams looked at the situation,teams that can attract him with the exact amount of money he wants or at least more that the wolves can offer him.

    just low chances, i can only see a reason in the good vibes with KG for Rahim to get hear.

    No, the trade was Marc Jackson + cash for a conditional 2006 second round pick from the nets

    You definitely mix something up there.

    Rahim wasn't traded at all. The Nets decided against the sign & trade deal with Portland because of the health issue around Rahim. So there was no deal involving Rahim.

    But the Nets trade exception only lasted until yesterday and already knowing about the health issue for a while they pulled this other deal: Marc Jackson for a 2nd round pick.

    And because of the trade exception, no other player needed to be included and the Sixers now have a trade exception.

    I highly doubt we get Rahim, we don't much money left to throw at him and a sign & trade deal with Portland is also highly unlikely.

    MLE will not be enough for Abdur-Rahim, and the chances at a sign-and-trade are low considering many other teams can pay him pull price. Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely.
