    I don't care where Z-Bo gets traded, he's still going to be garbage. Same goes for Marbury, this article kinda sucks :confused:

    How about Brad Miller? Why would a team like the Kings keep him around?

    I'd have to agree on the Miller notion. The Kings are a rebuilding team and keeping him around could potentially hinder the development of Spence Hawes.

    That's actually a great point. I could see Miller getting traded to a contender around the deadline. That is if he has something left in the tank.

    Another guy I could think of is Andrei Kirilenko?

    He used to be a much bigger part of the Jazz and was great. Now he spends all his time making up for the defensive mistakes of Okur and Boozer

    And that's likely why they won't trade him. If they get rid of him, their post defense becomes basically non-existent, and I don't think they're willing to let that happen. While he's not an integral part of that offense anymore, AK is still their best defensive player and still has all sorts of versatility, so I don't see them parting ways with him any time soon.

    I agree that they would be ridiculously stupid to trade him, but as a player to live up to his full potential, I think a trade would do him some good

    It probably would do him good, but unless he demands a trade or starts dogging it, it's not going to happen. The Jazz would be dumb in every sense of the word to do it.

    Yea, but AK's contract is pretty big, if they can save a fair bit of money I wouldn't be surprized if they did it.

    Eddy Curry back to Chicago? He does suck defensively and at grabbing boards. But maybe they can get a good deal out of it(I mean the Bulls seemed to have been a better team, and they still lack a low post scorer).

    Baron Davis out of a Brandless Clipper's team?

    OJ's not a point guard

    Baron Davis won't be leaving the Clipps any time soon. He got his payday, and really, I think that might be all he wanted. He's going to get to the be the main man and I think he'll put that and money ahead of winning.

    Also, NO FUCKING WAY to Curry coming back to Chicago. His contract is atrocious, he's a horrible defensive player and rebounder as well. His attitude is also pure crap. I'll say no thanks to him and his crap contract. He can rot in New York for all I care, cause there's no way he's going to succeed in D'Antoni's offense. Well, at least not until he lays off the donuts in the offseason and gets his ass in shape, and based on his track record, I don't see that happening.

    Baron also gets closer to "Hollywood".

    hahaha. Well I did say that he was a bad defensive player and rebounder. So we agree there, and the Bulls do need low-post scoring.

    I mean would you turn down Larry Hughes(26 mill over 2 years) for Eddy Curry (30 mill over 3 years) + David Lee?

    I'm guessing Eddy Curry for Larry Hughes swap would be worth it, if it were possible. Just because of their needs, and Hughes isn't all that valuable for them.

    The knicks actually get ripped off in that trade. I could have see Mr. Thomas doing that one, but I don't think Walsh is that stupid.

    Cpaw can say what he wants, OJ would suck as a point guard.

    Conley will do just fine with the Grizzzzzzzzzz.

    :dunno:

    I'm not convinced OJ can play the 1, I see him as more of a combo guard

    Sergio thinks he would be better off with a change in scenery.

    Sergio needs to learn how to shoot the ball. He also needs to learn the importance of defense
