Subject: SportsGuy's possible
trades
Here are SportsGuy's possible
trades. I know they are made up, but here they are anyway.
>>>KNICKS GET
Kenny Anderson
7 yr/$50,000,000 2003
CELTS
GET
Brevin Knight 3
yr/$3.275,000 2000
Mark
Bryant 2 yr/$4,200,000 2001
Danny Ferry 10 yr/$32,000,000
2000
CAVS GET
Danny Fortson 3 yr/$4,450,000 2000
John Wallace 3
yr/$6,600,000 2002
Dee Brown 6 yr/$20,000,000 2000
Toronto #1 pick in
2000
RAPTORS GET
Chris Childs 6 yr/$24,000,000 2002I like this deal
a lot, especially since Fortson's performance in Portland last night boosted
his trade value (he looked great). Here's how it works for each team:
--Toronto: They basically deal Brown and a #1 for Chris Childs, a vast
improvement for them at the point guard position. Last night they started Doug
Christie at point guard, for God's sake.
--Cavs: Knight's not
re-signing with them after the season, especially since Andre Miller has been
seeing major run lately. They get a proven rebounder, some veteran bench help
and a #1 out of it. If anything, Ferry has more value than Knight. A
crunch-time lineup of Miller, Bibby Sura, Lamond Murray, Fortson and Shawn
Kemp isn't bad.
--Knicks: Big upgrade for them from Childs to Anderson
at the PG position. Makes sense for them.
--Celts: They dump
Anderson's cap-crippling salary and pick up a younger point guard who signed a
$20 million, 4-year extension that kicks in next season. They can keep Ferry
or move him to a contender... and Bryant fills Fortson's 15 minutes-per-game
role off the bench. <<<<<
Does anyone like that trade? I'm
not sure if I do or not because I really like Anderson and I'm not sure if
we're getting enough for Fortson and Anderson by only getting Knight, Ferry,
and Bryant. Although I guess it could be a possibility since we have
heard that the Knicks have had discussions for Anderson.
Here's the other one.
>>>>
CELTS GET
Danny Manning 6 yr/$38,000,000 2001
Robert Traylor 4 yr/$7,000,000 2002
BUCKS GET
Danny Fortson 3 yr/$4,450,000 2000
Eric Williams 6 yr/$26,000,000 2004
Pervis Ellison 6 yr/ $12,000,000 2000
This seemed like a fair deal all the way
around until Fortson lit up Portland last night; the Bucks might have to throw
in a #1 pick to make it work. Anyway, Milwaukee gets a much-needed rebounder;
meanwhile, the C's unload Williams' contract, they roll the dice with Traylor
and they finally get that cagey 15 minutes-per-game grizzled veteran for their
bench. One downside: supposedly Manning has a big fork sticking out of his
back.<<<
I really hate this deal and I really
don't think Traylor will end up being much in the NBA anyway. I really
don't want Manning either. But we also have heard about possible trade
with the Bucks, so I guess this could end up being it.
Between them both, if I had to pick one,
I would definitely pick the first one with New York.
What do you think?
