here we go again... http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=231824 because of the CBA gordon if traded via S&T has to be traded with either nocion or hughes because his contract will only be worth half of what its really worth... hmm should the nets make a run at BEN and NOCIONI?!?! i dont particularly like hughes so ill pass on him... but gettin ben and nocioni wouldnt hurt at all ^^
i always liked nocionis game. he is tough, he can score...hes like what nachbar SHOULD have been. i hope we get him
The "big" fine print there is that we're talking about trading Nocioni or Hughes in the context of a contingent trade of Ben Gordon.
Why do the Bulls want to S&T Gordon? That's the first question to be answered. If you think they want back a bunch of contracts, it doesn't make sense. Expiring contracts don't make sense, either, since they can just rescind the QO to him and let him walk which is better than an expiring contract. Why do they want to give up a really good player on a moderate sized contract for the benefit of doing this S&T?
well i dont kno... maybe they wana get rid of nocioni or hughes contract... dont kno... im just postin what i read
Not this again. I thought it was pretty clear that any Chi-NJ deal involving Nocioni wasn't going to happen, especially after signing Najera and Hayes.
Maybe you missed my point. Why trade for expiring contracts and pay the players for a year, when they can just let Gordon walk and pay nothing to nobody?
Because they are looking to dump Nocioni's contract, and can only take back 1/2 of Gordon's contract amount back. Bulls are looking to save money. And I believe Hughes is now an expiring contract.
Hmm i wouldnt mind nocioni and gordon can be instant offense off the bench... u guys forget that ben is clutch in the 4th quarter...
I can't wait for Ben Gordon to sign a long contract with CSKA. Way too much drama for a player of his stature
Why do the Bulls want to dump Nocioni's contract? Without Gordon, they'd be $12M or so under the LT threshold. That's less than they've been paying the past few seasons. Hughes' contract expires for the 2010 FA period. They're certain to want to play Hughes if Gordon's gone.
Luol Deng and Thabo. And they feel Nocioni may have peaked, and is susceptible to injury due to his style of play
Pax is a stubborn guy. He's going to make Nocioni work out for the team or else. Nocioni may well end up playing a lot of PF for the Bulls this season. Aside from all that, he'd be the only real 3pt threat the Bulls have if Gordon is gone.
Before...and I think we are very near the point where Hayes could be included in a trade. Najera is the issue. Najera is the glue guy the Nets missed last year. He's not going to be traded. Do they need both. Nets have enough to get Nocioni if the Bulls are looking for expiring contracts, a young player and/or a first round pick. Question is do they still want him and his contract which runs to 2011-12 (team option in 2012-13) and which also permits him to play for Argentina, risking injury.
Trade Vince Carter for Nocioni and Gordon. Give Gordon the starting SG job that he always wanted, playing him over 40 minutes a night; the thought of his production would be scary. He's always been a starting player. Nocioni could also start at the SF for the Nets.
