Brad/Salmons to New Jersey?

That's a much better deal because it's mostly a package of expirings. But New Jersey is also supposedly trying to shed salary, which this doesn't accomplish in the slightest. This is the best indication yet that someone at ARCO is feeding Amick BS in order to get another team to pull the trigger.

Anderson is young, wouldn't mind having him. Are both Swift and Hassell expirings? Maybe they could throw in a pick, although I don't really see why they do it in the first place.
 
Heh @ Najera in a Kings uniform. I'm mexican so it would be kinda cool to have the only mexican in the NBA on my fav. team. But, nah i'll pass.
 
I honestly think this one's 100% BS. There's no incentive for New Jersey to do this at all. They have Brook Lopez at center, and even if they trade Vince they're rebuilding. They're trying to shed salary. This doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

This is the front office leaking crap, making a good show of it for the fans by trying to bring the hometown boy to Sac, but it's nonsense.

oops.. posted that on the other thread.. Yah this deal looks better because we get a young piece... but.... uhhh.. the rest of is sucks.
 
There are a few conflicting signs out there, but a top source says the Kings are talking to New Jersey about a deal that would send Miller and Salmons to the Nets for hometown boy Ryan Anderson ($1.2 million this season, $1.3 next season with two team options thereafter), Stromile Swift ($6.2 million expiring), Trenton Hassell ($4.3 million this season with $4.3 million next as player option), and Eduardo Najera ($3.4 million this season, $3.1 million in 2009-10, $2.8 million in 2010-11 and $2.6 million in 201112).http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/019736.html

If this is ture it would be a good trade get a young talent and expiring and some cheap contracts that could be easier to move then the ones we have now

We all know how that turned out the last time :mad:
 
Maybe if the Nets move Carter to Portland for Lafrentz they'd give us Swift and a mid 1st for Salmons and still push for the playoffs?

Otherwise...I don't get why they'd want Brad, or why we'd trade brad for 3-4 crappy players that expire in 2010 anyway.
 
This would be much better than the Bulls deal. Bajaden is right that Najera only has one guaranteed year. So we'd have more players filling up the roster next year relative to the Bulls deal but two fewer years of paying out Nocioni money. Plus we get Ryan Anderson on the cheap - I like him as a bencher guy at the back of the rotation, good height, can shoot.

Can we get them to throw in a pick? (you have to ask...)

* Per a comment about Najera's contract, I did more digging and found something interesting.
While he is on the books for $3 million in 2010-11 and $2.7 million in 2011-12, he is only guaranteed $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. That's all he gets if he is waived before June 30, 2010. And there isn't a team option or a player option involved.http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/019736.html

That's different than we thought. Here Najera gets all but $1M if he gets waived, which does change that dynamic. There's not much incentive to waive him at that point because you're saving a whole $500K per year. Hmm.
