Such spectacular healings have happened to some other players, that wanted out of their teams, and got hteir wish. Have you ever heard of Jason kidd missing a game with a migraine?

I don't see why. I'm pretty sure the JO trade I proposed was not ridiculous, since I got different kind of replys for it. One said it favoured the nets, others said it favoured the Pacers. What is ridiculous? I'm just trying to discuss nets rumors, and you are dissing me. why?
OK then. Why would this upstanding player who according to you has been jaking it for the last four years magically "heal" himself to play for the Nets? And why would the Nets shell out the dough for a shitheel like that?

His salary is horrible and your basis for wanting to trade for him is a gut feeling that a change of scenery will make his past 4 seasons a mirage. There is no balance to the risk/reward equation in acquiring JON. At his best, he was a soft, fade away shooting, inefficient big that performed worse in the playoffs than in the regular season.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Master Shake @ Jun 1 2008, 09:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Brand>JON.</div> I totally agree that Brand >> JO That's why I proposed RJ + Sean + pick for Brand, and only Marcus + pick + expirer for JO. I think cpawfan obviously underrates JO, when he says that my offer, with the scrubs we give up in the trade is ridiculous. Yes his contract is absolutly crazy, but his stats before this season (~20p/~10r/>2b, every year between 2000 and 2007) are legit. The best case scenario is of course, that he opts out, and we can get him in a sign and trade, with his contract starting at about 10-13mill, but that's pretty unlikely, since he wont leave that 2 year 40 mill contract on the table. In that case our offer would also look better, since we could leave Hassell out of the trade, who is not expiring yet anyway, so the salary, indy has to take on, would only be 6mill for stro, and a few bucks for the guaranteed part of KVH's salary.

look... if JO made like 9-11 million a year... i wouldnt mind taking the risk... but at 20+ million... forget that... not worth riskin cap space and brand is the better bet... id rather pay brand 20 mill a year then JO at 15 mill a year and JO doesnt even get raves bout his character... brand does... and we all know thorn... he also looks at the personality of the player... not just the skill set
