6 team deal (Bonzi to NY) .. anybody else hear this? (likely debunked)
- Thread starter DavisAggie
- Start date
Bonzi Wells: 13.6 ppg on 11.8 shots = 1.15 points per shot
Stephen Jackson: 16.4ppg on 14.2 shots = 1.15 points per shot
FG% isn't everything, Jackson is an average 3pt shooter (Bonzi well below average) and is a very good FT shooter who gets to the line.
Put the brawl aside and Jackson is at least comparable to Wells. He's not nearly the rebounder, but he's still tough and a good defender. He's a year younger, he's taller, and his contract is cheaper and shorter. You get Foster back as well and to me, you've got a deal.

I looked for Denver, I guess I didn't see them in there. Had me worried for a minute/
PUFFED up and oout rumor.
Last night several sources all leaked the possiblity of 6 team trade with a lrge number of players. Different sources speculated on the players involved http://www.kingsfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13950 no one agrees on the major pices or even the teams involved. The Bonzi to NY stuff poped out like a stress induced zit this PM, very likely beceasue of confusion with other roumers and/or the need to say SOMETING about the deal that is still in the works.
In short as the Bard said "A tale told by an idiot full of sound and furry."

But the only arguments people are making against this trade are that they don't (personally) like SJax, while we assume that everyone loves Bonzi. That's the only hesitation I have about this. Talent-wise, it makes sense. Good trade for us- we keep a decent SG and add a good backup C. But I'm really high on Bonzi and don't want to trade him- I really saw him as our long-term SG until Kevin came around. But looking at it non-emotionally, the trade has to be a good idea. Get feelings mixed in and you might as well consider that Ron and Mike are good friend with Jackson, so they might not go after Bonzi in the bathroom after all.
As good as Bonzi was for us, I'm assuming he wanted way more money then we could/wanted to provide, if this trade falls through I wont be dissapointed, we get a backup center that can rebound like crazy, and add another three point shooter/solid defender to the mix, this would be good for Martin too, because I didn't see Martin getting tons of minutes over Bonzi if he came back, but I can see him getting alot if not more then S-Jax if the trade goes down.
Reliable? No offense, but if this ends up being true and was leaked this early by someone in the Hawks organization, it sounds like they're pretty loose about discussing important business. When mutliple teams are invovled, it's really important for everyone to keep their bleeping mouths shut until all the ducks are in a row, so to speak.
I have a feeling, should this pan out, someone is going to have some explaining to do.
Thanks for whatever info you can find, loopy...

Yup stranger things have happened, and I honeslty see no reason to trust or NOT trust the rumor. But the skeptic in me notes that MOST trade rumors in the off season never happen so odds are this one will not. Is there a big trade in the works with 6 or so teams... seems that way. Is Indy involved and possibly getting Dunlevy good sources say yes. But by the time we get to the Bonzi to NY Kings get back Foster and Jackson? there is no there there.
