Who we are competing with at the deadline



Here is Ainge's competition for any team that is in the salary dumping mode 
at the deadline. These are the players that will be free agents next year and 
make 5 million or more a year. Mills makes 6.6 million:

EWill - 5.5 - Cleveland won't trade him
Camby - 7 - Denver won't trade him being afraid of screwing up the good thing 
going on
Sura - 6 - Detroit needs their own salary dump to resign Okur
Avery Johnson - GS wants to cut back, not add
Kukoc - 9.5 - Bucks need to cut back on salary
Martin - 5 - Nets will keep him and maybe trade in offseason
McDyess - 13.5, Gugs - 11.6 - the Suns could be a player but don't think they 
will be adding salary at this point
Wallace - 17, Kemp - 14.9, Davis - 8.9 - Blazers definitely a player
Barry - 5.5 - Sonics are competition for the right deal
Hak - 6.3 - the Raptors could compete
Ostertag - 8.5, Clark - 5 - Utah definitely can compete, with all their 
salary cap room
Knight - 5 Wizards are a player

Therefore, there are five other teams that Danny has to compete against, the 
Blazers, Sonics, Raptors, Jazz and Wizards. Danny is helped with the extra 
draft pick as does the Blazers. The Blazers or the Jazz are the team if you have 
the major restructuring to do. The insurance issue helps us also....
