    That's an intriguing angle as well. Nice work and repped for creativity.

    What's the tax line exactly? It'd be damn close.

    If by this you meant we are overpaying I absolutely agree. I don't understand people who are throwing Oden's name out like he's a throw in. His value is inestimable vs Miami and LAL i.e. the two teams we have to beat in the next 3 to 5 years.

    They are at 69.26 right now. Lux tax is 70.4. Your trade has them adding $3 Million in salary.

    Because the Hornets would INSIST you take bad contracts back with Paul.

    Not really my idea, and I don't know if I even think NO would want that deal, was just trying to make MM's trade idea viable under the rules.

    Link didn't work?

    EDIT: it did now but NOH would hang up the phone and call in FEMA to cut the phone lines again like the did during Katrina if you offered that trade.

    Re: TIme to work the Trade Machine!

    Everyone is trying to throw Rudy in, but I don't see why he would want to go to NOH or why NOH would want to pay a player that may refuse to play for them.

    This is the best trade I could come up with

    NOH trades
    Chris Paul
    Emeka Okafor
    James Posey
    D. Songaila
    Total salary leaving NOH - 37,731,753

    Blazers trade
    Batum
    Camby
    Przybilla
    Cunningham
    Miller
    Bayless
    Total Salary leaving Blazers - 30,675,951

    NOH gets rid of bad salaries, gets some good youth and expiring contracts. They also immediately save over 7 million. Add in 3 mil cash = 10 million. Add in approximately 3 million expected to be saved from przybilla insured contract. That equates to an instant savings of 13 million dollars. Blazers throw in a couple first rounders.

    Blazers would be quite thin, but would have one heck of a starting line up.

    NOH
    Collison/Miller
    Bayless/Thorton/Head
    Batum/Writht/Stojakovic
    West/Cunningham
    Camby/Przybilla

    Blazers
    Paul/Johnson
    Roy/Matthews (Fernandez if he does not leave)/Williams
    Posey/Babbit
    Aldridge/sengaila
    Oden/Okafor/Pendergraph

    You're moving away from absolute zero and all but uh... what B-Roy said. Also they want to dump Okafor. Interesting angle including Sac Town. If you can give us Okafor and NOH Landry that might be closer, still we need to sweeten the pot considerably for Sac-Town especially as they are creating a horrible monster to the north of them.

    Re: TIme to work the Trade Machine!

    To be honest, I was just looking for a third team and I remembered hearing that Sacramento might want Rudy. It could have been some random guy I don't really know.

    Re: TIme to work the Trade Machine!

    In all of your trades, Sacramento is just taking back contracts and salary for what? To dump Landry? They're giving up more talent than they are getting back and on top of that they have to pay the likes of Posey, Peja, etc?
