If you were the GM of the Nets and they were offering you the same deal of Nachbar, Collins and Magloire for either of those players, which one would you pick? Andres Nocioni who is 28 years old on a contract year or Ben Wallace, 33, former DPOY with three years still on his deal?
Ben Wallace has negative trade value at this point. I wouldn't touch that contract. Nocioni is exactly what the Nets (and most teams for that matter) need.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheKidHypno @ Jan 24 2008, 09:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>nocioni signed an extension in the offseason</div> And he's also BYC so the trade would be tricky. The trade proposed doesn't work. Neither does the one Al I. reported in the other thread. In fact, good luck trying to put together a deal that does work. It's damn near impossible.
After like 50 tries... Magloire and Collins for Nocioni, Thomas and Curry. That might be the only possible trade that meets the Bulls' mandate of freeing money for Gordon and Deng. And don't bother suggesting any substitutions or adjustments to this deal. They won't work. (Unless, of course, you think replacing Curry with the Next Tim Duncan will grease the trading wheels.)
Noc, Thabo and Aaron Gray for Wright, Magliore, Boki and a lottery protected first. here. I don't buy that they're looking to free up cap by taking scrubs but this would be the closet thing to the discussed deal.
Sefalosha, Nocioni and Khryapa for Nachbar, Marcus, Mags, Wright and Malik Allen. Works on ESPN. Really depends whether Chicago cares about losing Khryapa. Come on, DO IT THRON!
nets already have two younger ben wallace-types in boone and SWat...what we need is someone we can dump the ball into in the low post and put it in the hole...
