I would take Kwame for one of the scrubs that we just traded for.
yeah, evidently we're into acquiring mediocre players. Maybe we'll trade Kwame for Bibby and Bobby or something.:rolleyes: (and no, I didn't check that in real GM!)

I would too, Kwame is still young, and in the right team he might have better games. Brick or Ryle, whats his salary and what can we realistically give up for him?

Just being nosy I ran it through trade checker and we can send either Thomas or Corliss to them but I don't see why they would do it. I think he makes about 5.5 million.

According to RealGM almost any of the new guys have very similar salaries. Think Skinner may be a bit off + of course as new acquisiions, we can't package the new guys with other players.

The trade would make more sense, if we got Kwame for Thomas.

Isn't Thomas a better player? Kwame is a bit of a tree considering his size. Biggest hype around out of HS, even Jordan thought he was promising, but he plays like hes afraid all the time. I heard Jordan got into his psyche during practice one day, said he sucked, destroyed him in a 1-1 game, and was never the same guy again.

Kwame's in the last year of his contract.

Thiomas is a better player today, but there is no upside and he's still terribly mediocre. Getting Kwame would give us a chance at a guy blossoming. Kid still has talent, just a knucklehead. Like trading away Webber for prospects much mroe than trading him away for middle aged middling talents with no upside.

In that case, if we do give up Thomas for Kwame, can we pretty much say that Petrie has "thrown away the season"? Songalia would be our PF this season with Kwame as backup. Hmmmm...

I think we have thrown in the towel.

I just saw this in Kwame's stats page:

Points this season: 16 @ Miami 12/13/04 Career high:30 vs. Sacramento 3/17/04

Whenever someone gets a career high against us, Petrie always get him. Funny how that works.

Jordan said more then, "You suck." He called him and f'n f***** and made him cry.
