    a) only another All-star or stud young player
    b) Carmelo-type package (young players, expirings, picks)
    c) a starter and some cap filler
    d) expiring contract + picks
    e) whatever we can get
    f) I would only trade Brandon for Wade, Durant, LBJ
    g) other

    Expirings. I doubt we'd get anything of value for him.

    I don't want to think about trading Roy but if they do I would rather it be for a Melo type package then anything else.

    Probably the best they will be able to get.

    ANYTHING ... even if it was a backup ballboy. Removing his albatross contract from the team's books for the next five years would be a coup of epic proportions.

    You wouldn't want to cripple either of those franchises with his contract? What's wrong with you?

    Roy has no value whatsoever. In order to trade him we have to trade for another player with an outrageous contract that can't really play. Lot of good that would do us.

    It'll end up biting us in the ass, I just know it will.

    L*kers always screw us and Roy seems like a L*kers type of player.

    Thunder...after they get Oden and Roy to go with Durant and win multiple rings, I'll just run into a brick wall.

    I've assumed that also; but Rick Bucher claims 6 or 7 teams have called about him. I think there are some that think his knees are not really that bad.

    Dumping him would be stupid. A Guy playes great for 4 years and you want nothing in return after a bad 25 games. I think it would be smarter to wait and see. Unless we get a young stud back.

    Well, I say they should try and trade him and if they can't, then sue Rick Bucher for 80 million dollars.

    Nope, it would be genius. I wouldn't care if he played until he was 40 and won 5 rings on another team just to avoid the possiblity of having to live with that contract for a retired player for years.

    No, you are right. It isn't a possibility, it is a metaphysical certitude that Roy won't finish his contract. What was I thinking?
