Magliore? ... To Portland (merged)

We would be better with him, indeed. Last I read, the Bucks were considering KT for Magloire along with some other trades for him. But, nothing really since.
 
I think that if geoff could make a kt for mgaloire trade happen and even if it meant that 1) we had to include garcia and 2) magloire would walk at the end of the season that it would be worth it. It would put the kings in a better financial position going into next offseason season and we could get rid of kt's bad attitude.

Unknown.

The Bucks GM made some remark last weak about being offered junk deals for Mags and how he wasn't just going to give him away. May have been referring to a KT offer from us. ;)
 
Just a rumor, but apparently some fan with connections in Millwaukee claims Magloire is being traded to portland for Blake, Skinner and Ha seung-jin. I read it on realgm's message board. Take it for what it's worth.

If we were to get Magloire for KT. Would he start at C and play Brad at 4? Man that would be one SLOW frontcourt. Magloire makes no sense to me unless we move Brad. I just don't see him as a bench player and Brad isn't going to come off the bench.

Wow. I'd feel so bad for Magloire if that happened... I'd be surprised if that's what it takes to get Magloire. Yes, there is Blake, and they said they want a third PG - but, damn.

Nope, that wouldn't happen if he came here. Because of the slow front-court.

Brad actually would come off the bench, he's never said he'd be against it. He did it for Webber and Vlade in 2004, and he said just recently all he wants to do is win games and wants PF/C help. Both would get good minutes, and I actually think Brad is better suited as a back-up at this point in his career.

Also, the other option is Magloire getting good minutes behind Brad.

Wouldn't be as slow as the Vlade/Miller pairing was. I'm not even worried about quickness from the big men. If they can rebound and make it tougher to score around the bucket that's more than they've done in past years. Let all these swingmen we have do the heavy running.
 
I also read that the Bucks are interested in Al Harrington, so I don't think you'll see any movement on Magloire until that situation is resolved. But that said, I think the Kings could put together a pretty attractive offer with KT and some add ons. I'd hate to see Garcia involved, but if the Bucks sent back Magloire with Ersan Ilyasova I might be persuaded -- he played pretty well in D-League and is only 19 years old.

Thats true but apparenly Muss wants the bigs to come out and pressure the ball. Miller could possibly do it, but Magloire is even slower than Brad.
 
This is probably not worth the time posting 'cause there are probably details (lots of them) that I'm overlooking. One of them this is not very likey.

A week ago it was reported that Harrington was going to the Pacers and would be announced later last week. Since then ...........

The Bucks reportatly offered Magloire for Harrington.

The Kings reportatly offered Thomas for Maloire.

According to Hoopshype, Atlanta is well under the salary cap so I don't see what a trade exemption gets them.

Is it possible to somehow construct a three way trade where Thomas ends up in Atlanta, Harrington with the Bucks and Magloire to the Kings?

................and have Atlanta willing?

Sounds like Magloire is going to the Blazers for nothing. Wow.

If it's true it makes a lot of sense for Milwaukee, actually. They get a good point guard for a good price and an expiring contract -- they're going to be under the cap next year. Not bad.
 
If Magloire does leave the picture, then it possibly opens up a Thomas swap. I believe Eaton Thomas, according to reports, was offered for Magloire. If the Wizards want rid of him as much as their fans, they may be open to a swap.

Bad contract for bad contract.
 
I don't know kings113, it's a risk to trade KT for Etan when Etan has only been healthy two out of five seasons and looked comatose last season. His contract isn't better than KT's. I feel like with Kenny at least you know what you're getting.
 
Yeah, it's just a realistic scenario, and Etan's much more of a presence than KT.

Bottom line, I'm fine with Kenny staying as long as we got 1 or 2 defensive bigs around.

Not too much risk really -- Etan knows his role and so always has a use. No awkward fit problems. H is not as "good" as Kenny, but he's a much better, and more willing, roleplayer.

If we get the good Etan I agree with you, but there's been one year of Good Etan and four years of injured/bad Etan. Given that his deal could end up being just as onerous as KT's, I'm just not so thrilled with that option. I'd rather keep Kenny's durability and rebounding.

I'd rather move Kenny's attitude and lack of role. Sometimes its better to have less talent but better fit. As an aside, injuries aside, you aren;t losing much on the glass from KT to Etan.
 
Knowing GP it's going to be somebody we haven't even been talking about...a 3-team deal that comes out of nowhere

And you're gaining size and shotblocking ability. Etan would have led the Kings in blocks/game in less than 16 minutes/game.

Atlanta is 20 mil under the salary cap. Actually they don't meet the league requirments for reaching the league minimun in salary spent. The problem their having as I understand it is that they are involved in a law suit over ownership, and a judge has ruled that the team cannot take on any additional salary until the suit is resolved. Thus the trade with the Pacer's. I wouldn't be surprised to see the league jump in and try to resolve this.

The Bucks have indicated that they have a need for a back-up point and another SF. When we signed Salmons I started to get a little suspisous. He appears to be almost a clone of Cisco that doesn't shoot quite as well. However KT and Harts salary's come pretty close to Magg's..
