yea, once other teams realize they arent going to get who they want.. this way bibby might have been traded to an actual contender...
on another note, i thought there was a time frame for when a player can be traded after they have already been traded.. if anyone knows this can they post it.. because i remember a few rumors earlier in the year about teams being interested in lue and johnson for backup point guards.. specifically lue going to boston.

To be fair, you consistently overrate what we can get in trades. I'd say whether it's good or bad depends on what else we're able to do to either get under the cap or make another trade possible. It's not a steal, but at least we're not taking on any Kenny Thomas-esque contracts.

didn't someone say this will save us nearly 15 million next year?
i think this is a great move. This season is over already. Clearly geoff is looking forward to next year to make a free agency splash with all of the money he just removed from the books.

I would hope a first round pick is involved as well. To me, that would be a great deal!!!
It's still bleeding talent...that's a bad move...and ONE LARGE expiring NEXT year > many small expirings THIS year.
I think this may be a definite possibility. We aren't going to be able to trade Kenny Thomas. Let's not kid ourselves or anyone else. At this point, I think buying him out might be the smartest move they could make.

Those are kenny Thomas sorts of stats.
I still don't think Petrie is looking at this year's FA market. I think he's aiming for something BIG from the 2010 market.

Sheldon will be interesting at least.
Now how do we make our roster shake out? Do we have to instantly cut two players, or is there an exception to work it out?
In a perfect world, I would like to see some of our new expirings get flipped to another team as salary filler in either a Miller/Artest/Thomas deal.
I doubt there's an exception though, and I see Dahntay and Lorenzon getting axed.

I think New Jersey is the big player for Bron if they can dump Carter.

we already have Kenny and Mikki
LOL, at least he's still young and there is potential.

We are already paying someone not to coach us
Now we would have to pay another one not to play for us.
Sounds like Sacramento Knicks - god forbid

We don't need that kind of potential - trust me - because he is going to develop the 3pt shot and then we are screwed again

As for roster moves, I think we have a couple days at least to figure things out and/or make another trade. The Suns, to the extent of my knowledge, still haven't filled their mandatory 13th player spot left since the Shaq deal. I would imagine we have at least until the trade deadline to make another move (Artest is gone for sure I feel) and see how the roster shakes out then.
If we still end up with 17, I'm not so sure Jones goes. I think Lue or Johnson could easily go as well. Or, if we don't end up moving him in an Artest deal, a KT buyout. We'll see. But at least things got a lot more interesting!

we have to keep one till the end of the season because we really don't need Cisco to play PG - EVER AGAIN

Hey! Where were you when I was getting hammered for posting that a couple days ago?
I missed something? ACK!
I'm sorry. I would certainly have backed up your comments if I'd seen them. I am old, though, you know... and my eyesight is failing.

Damn - I suck - I forgot that he was a laker at one point.
I would cut him before he boards the plane

Nope. But if we are going to suck might as well give him a chance to fill the only NBA role his size allows.please tell me that You are joking - right.

Oh come on, I like Lue. He's a really good guy and spark plug type of player.
