    Just said on 95.5--Harris being traded to Utah causes Cho to give up.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I prefer nothing to Mo Williams, Aaron Brooks or Jamal Crawford.

    I'd still inquire about Ramon Sessions, though, were I Cho.

    It's all good. With Dwill leaving the West along with Melo our surroundings are looking much more favorable.

    Agree! We are playing great. Why mess that up when other key teams in the west are getting worse.

    I think this is the right tact to take with Harris off the table.

    I think Quick is talking out of his ass. Why would Cho give any information on his intentions at this point for the public to consume.

    We still can't beat any of the squads above us in the standings with the current roster. I still see a 1st round and out.

    Well with not much left to trade for, pulling back isn't maybe the worst thing ... but we're going to be right back here next year or over the summer (or whenever the lockout ends) looking down the barrel of the same situation of needing to move aging players and get younger, but we won't have Joel's expiring contract any more (but we will have Greg's ...)

    True. Especially to Quick. As I said yesterday, Cho doesnt share info like KP did.

    We don't beat anyone either way. I just see this as losing an asset (Przybilla's contract) since Miller can be retained next season. Honestly, who else is out there that we could possibly go for?

    Do you want to end up with Jamal Crawford? Really?

    After the trade deadline, that asset is worthless outside of lowering the overall salary of the team.

    I still wouldnt be surprised to see us deal Joel for a draft pick to get under the luxury tax to save about $8 million.

    I'm not averse to a Joel for Biedrins deal if available. Same with Wallace if CHA wants to shed salary. Sessions if CLE is willing to part with him.

    Basically, anyone that we could get in exchange for Joel that would strengthen our bench would be worthwhile.

    Perhaps because it's true and he wants to get his team back to thinking about playing basketball instead of worrying about being traded?

    Do you mean trade Joel and a draft pick?

    No team is giving up a pick to eat Joel's contract.

    And who could we get for Przybilla? It's nice to sit here and speculate, but it's not like we know if any of these players are available, and for pure expirings no less.

    If we are standing pat, our goal should be at a minimum the #5 seed, and with a good deal of luck we can pass OKC for the #4 seed. Denver and Utah tanking screws us, however, because NO will definitely make the playoffs.
