Eisley's costs per season might be lower than Kenny's, but Kenny's on
a shorter leash.

Eisley on 42mil/7years (I think 6 years left on the contract), and
Kenny only good for 17mil/2year.

Moreover, Eisley (non)performance during Mavs' playoff run, really
dropped his value. Has potential to be a cap albatross.

Kukoc signed similar money as Mercer, 28mil/4year, with 3 years left.
I think our draft picks will give similar qualities, at a drastically
reduced rate.

I think Nazr is valuable now to the Hawks, playing C to Theo's PF and
SAR's SF. Seems like a very potent frontline, on paper.

Even if Nazr forces his way to boston, I think Hawks would want (at
least) a Pot + pick.

Trading Kenny Anderson is desirable but difficult. We've got to take
back 7-8mil of similar salary to match. Included might be even longer
salary contracts/burdens. I don't think the Cs wants that. Another 2
years of Kenny, we'll be off the hook. Cs managment has been saying
kenny going to be returning to form next season. Maybe we should wait
til next Feb dateline to see if we can salvage something.

I think the best scenario the Cs wish for in any trade of Kenny is
just to get back a 1 year contract player + a 1st round pick.

Maybe Wallace already put such word out on the market.
