Another opening another show?
< The Sun-Times reports that John Paxson will be shopping the No. 7 pick
and possibly Jay Williams at this week's pre-draft camp at Moody Bible
Institute in Chicago. The Sun-Times reports that Eddy Curry, Tyson
Chandler and Jamal Crawford are untouchable. Paxson is looking for
an athletic small forward. >
Okay, so Chicago wants to trade PG Jay Williams and their #7 draft pick.
But who would they be willing to take in return?
Would Walker, Brown, and our two first-rounders make them happy?
PROPOSAL:
We trade-
PF Antoine Walker: $13,500,000
SF Kedrick Brown: $1,757,640
#16 draft pick: $0
#20 draft pick: $0
Total salary: $15,257,640
We receive-
PG Jay Williams: $3,710,880
PF Marcus Fizer: $3,726,994
SF Eddie Robinson: $6,246,960
#7 draft pick: $0 (Center Chris Kaman?)
Total $ 13,684,834
Assuming the math works, this trade would allow Chicago to add Toine
to their starting five while ridding themselves of bench malcontents
Williams, Fizer, and the overpaid Robinson. It would give them a solid
starting lineup of Walker, Chandler, Curry, Rose, and Crawford,
plus draftees #16 and #20. Not bad.
Such a trade would also give us a starting lineup of PF Fizer, EWill,
Battie, Pierce, and PG Jay Williams, plus the #7 pick (Center Kaman?)
and SF Eddie Robinson to implement our bench. It would also subtract
$1,572,806 from our cap.
Such a trade would seemingly strengthen each team, and isn't that
what realistic trades are all about?
