    Keep in mind Humprhies plays behind Favors and is a UFA this summer. If no Melo trade occurs Humphries is expendable as I don't see NJ paying him all that much in a backup role. Now if they trade for Melo it is an entirely different matter

    I'm also banking on the assumption that as a backup stretch 4 (his proper role), Outlaw can contribute significantly more for us than he has for NJ.

    Only as trade filler, which is why I tossed him in. :)

    I don't like this deal. At all. I don't want half of one of the worst teams in the NBA for half of our best players.

    I don't want TO back at that price, but we'd be getting the old Outlaw, not the NJ one. Nate knows how to use him, and I think the smaller town atmosphere makes Travis more comfortable.

    my guess is that any Outlaw to POR talk is all NJ as they try to unload his awful contract. I really don't think POR would take on 15 mil in combined Harris/TO salary for the next several years.

    as I just said that's just too much salary IMO for POR to take on just to get harris

    I'm ok with Harris for Miller & change...

    I am NOT ok with taking Outlaw back in the deal....not unless NJ is PAYING POR big time talent wise to take him back....and even then I would cringe....

    Outlaw...Ugh...say it isn't so, please for the love of god say it isn't so....

    Ya well, I hated the way Nate used him. He might have been more productive as a Blazer, but him playing >25 mpg was a detriment to the team.

    If there were any reasonable way to do it without parting with Andre though, I'd be fully in favor.

    You think there's any way they'd include Favors if we gave them Oden? :biglaugh:

    I'd take Outlaw back if we could keep Miller :)

    Travis Outlaw is horrible. It doesn't matter which coach is using him. He gets the ball, and turns an easy shot into a hard one. That is Travis Outlaw. It won't matter if if is Avory Johnson or Nate McMillan coaching him.

    I sure hope not. Because if they do, combined those salaries with Roy's, Aldridge, and whatever happens with Oden, and there is pretty much no space to bring in talent for the next 4 years, all of course depending on the salary cap final numbers and if it is a hard cap or not.

    Lets keep in mind all the Harris/NJ talk could be just smoke to get Denver to panic a bit. If NJ does other trades then Denver loses big time leverage to New York. Look behind the curtain.

    The question is the guy behind the curtain Cho, or is it the Russian mafia lord billionaire pulling the strings? :NOTMARIS:

    Hollinger weighs in....

    Darren (Los Angeles)

    What do you think of the rumors of a Devin Harris for Andre Miller swap? Why would the Nets do this?
    John Hollinger (12:10 PM)

    That's the part I don't get. Harris-Miller makes a lot of sense from Portland's side, even if Miller is a better player right now. From New Jersey's? A lottery team getting ten years older at the point? That's silliness... would have involve a third team to move Miller there.
