SacTownKid said:Looks BAD. VERY BAD for Utah. The Kings and Twolves would have to throw in 1st rounders, but I don't think that would be enough. The Wolves are garunteed in the playoffs and so are the Kings.
I dare you to go post this trade on realgm.com. Actually is one of the better ones I have seen, but noway Utah fans for for this.

BigSong said:hmm....wonder what Sloan would think? At some point Bricklayer I'm afraid your actually gonna start believing that one of your KG scenarios is gonna happen.![]()
Bricklayer said:Then next summer they come to play big time and have the ability to sign somebody to the max if they want to -- and while its hard to imagione this happening, you know who is out there next year? Ben Wallace. Drop the max on him.![]()
LPKingsFan said:While I'm not arguing against your plans for KG, why don't we get in a situation to drop the max on Wallace? If anyone can cover our frontcourt weaknesses, he can.
Of course that means finding teams to take on KT, Corliss, Skinner, etc for nothing.

Bricklayer said:I'm getting closer to overcoming the Minnesota resistance.
But giving it some more thought, I like this twist better:
Rather than take back Wally, and his own stupid contract, Utah (which DOES want to get rid of Boozer's own stupid deal BTW) takes back Cassel and Kandiman (also works salarywise). Both are ending contracts. Along with Tag, who is an ending contract (apparently why they made the move) that means that they end up $15mil to $20mil under the cap next year and in prime position to add a major free agent. Meanwhile:
a) get a reasonable and cheaper Boozer replacement in Kenny
b) get a young OG (which they are looking for)
c) get a 1st round pick
d) get a veteran PG to hold down the fort for a year while Williams learns (which they are looking for)
e) get another big shotblocking center, both of whom come off the books next year if they want
They then for next year can either start Kirlenko/Thomas/Okur acorss the frontline for a year, or go big and start Kirlenko/Okur/Kandi with Tag and Thomas off the bench. Meanwhile Cassel and Williams share PG duties, and Kevin and Giricek split time at the OG. Then next summer they come to play big time and have the ability to sign somebody to the max if they want to -- and while its hard to imagione this happening, you know who is out there next year? Ben Wallace. Drop the max on him. Pair him and Kirilenko TOGETHER on your frontline. Maybe as good a defensive frontcourt as there has been.
Better watch out -- if I keep fiddling, by the end of the summer I'm going to have a viable scenario and send it to Geoff.![]()
Not gonna happen.Entity said:How about Peja, Corlis, and Kenny for Jalen Rose, Chris Bosh, and Eric Williams. we get what we need + a vet OG and SF and Toronto fills some holes with Bosh leaving and get Peja besides they got Villenuava in the draft who is a mirror of Bosh Plus Areujo and Loren Woods. And it works on Realgm
captain bill said:Camby for Peja, straight up. Works on realgm. Why not?
LPKingsFan said:So apparently the TWolves are interested in Mo. Could we pull of a Mo for Griffin sign and trade?
Marcus Brown Weighs Offers From Three NBA Teams1st August, 2005 - 11:17 pmDraftExpress - Jonathan Givony from DraftExpress.com is reporting that CSKA Moscow guard Marcus Brown is seriously considering three different contract offers he has been made from NBA teams this summer.
Brown, a 6-3 extremely athletic combo guard who has had stints with both the Portland Trailblazers and Detroit Pistons in 1997 and 2000, was the highest paid player in Europe last year playing for Euroleague Final Four participants CSKA Moscow.
He has offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers , San Antonio Spurs and Seattle Supersonics , and is expected to make a decision within the next week regarding where to sign.
Givony spoke with Brown’s agent, Craig McKenzie and confirmed that these offers are indeed on the table.
According to various media reports in Europe, Brown also has contract offers from Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel and Ulker in Turkey in excess of 1.5 million dollars net. McKenzie confirmed that those teams are indeed interested, and although the reported numbers are close, he believes Brown can do better than that.
The holdup appears to be whether or not Brown can garner a contract offer for more than the NBA minimum and/or also receive the job security of an additional guaranteed year from one of those interested teams. If not, Brown will most likely return to Europe and reclaim his place as one of the highest paid players in the world outside of the NBA.

Trading Williamson and Thomas would work and add more youth and punch to our bench. Then we would focus on resigning Songila and another big, Griffin, Traylor, or Jhadi White to name a few.
