Ok while I still believe that the offer was fair and benificial for both sides, I will concede maybe RJ is a little more valuable than what I presented so in turn I did my time on realgm and really looked for a team which 1)could use a small forward 2)was in a win now mode and 3)had young talent</p> I found my trade partner in the form of the Miami Heat.</p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="content"> <div id="tcwrapper"> <h2>RealGM Trade Checker™</h2> <span class="tagline">Powered by RealGM: Software Provider to NBA Teams</span> <ul class="threeStep" id="mainNav"> <li class="done">Step 1: Select the Teams<span>Choose at least two teams from the menus below to start your trade.</span> <li class="lastDone">Step 2: Choose the Players<span>Select the players you wish to trade from the rosters below.</span> <li class="mainNavNoBg current">Step 3: Verify the Trade<span>Confirm that your trade proposal is valid according to the NBA collective bargaining agreement. </span> [/list] <div class="resultwrap"> <div class="greenhead">Successful Trade Scenario</div> <div class="greenbody"> <h3>Congratulations on a successful trade.</h3> Due to Miami and New Jersey being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked.

not a bad idea, jloc. at this point, I'm not sure whether I like the team as is or want to see a trade
