    Yeah, but we won't pay the full, Indy would obviously pay their amount. And, it's not like he didn't play for us.

    Not just the Indiana trade. It said the first team to offer a 1st round pick would get him. Most teams would have to balance salaries.

    Salaries are pro-rated anyways, so we've already paid more than half of Crawford's salary. Either way, it's going to be between 3-6 million.

    I wish, but more than likely, we'd turn around and deal our TPE from the deal to the Lakers for Blake and a 1st.

    Peter Vecsey, so it is probably completely wrong.

    Camby, Crawford, Batum works for Bogut and Captain Jack. Certainly would add some toughness once Bogut is back.

    I can't see Milwaukee being interested in anything that didn't include Batum.

    Best case would be to take Beno in and swap Wallace for Batum, and hope they are interested to clear more salary and accept Bogut is damaged goods.

    Good. I never thought Ridnour was worth $4m of the cap we have this summer.

    I really don't want to see this team trade for yet another broken down big man. At least with Greg we drafted him without 100% certainty that he was going to be broken down all the time. With Bogut you can remove all doubt.

    This is not a good trade for a team looking to rebuild -- and that needs to rebuild.

    Yeah, trading for an injury prone Center pushing 30 doesn't sit well with me.

    But nothing would surprise me with Larry & Chad running the show.

    If Batum is going out, Jennings better be coming back
