And picks.
So, answer me this, wise guy.
You're New Orleans, which offer do you want...
A) Chauncey Billups, Ronny Turiaf for Chris Paul
B) Chris Kaman, Randy Foye, Aminu, and Eric Bledsoe, a high first round pick, and a couple other first rounders for Chris Paul and Trevor Ariza.
Which one sounds better? It's a straight salary dump for New York, but for the Clippers, you get prospects, you get draft picks, you get to unload a contract, and you still get to get those same expiring contracts.
At least Danilo and Wilson Chandler are good enough prospects to at least maybe try to build around. Chauncey and Turiaf? Bill Walker and Toney Douglas? Man, get out of here.
What the hell do you expect to trade NOH for?
And you still aren't answering how they're going to put pieces around them either... You think Chris Paul is going to take a huge paycut when he sees Amare and Melo getting paid 20 mill a year?
The deal for Melo was a lot better than ANYTHING the Knicks can offer now. Mozgov is a good young player, Danilo is a good young player, Wilson Chandler can be a starter for a lot of teams in the league, not to mention a pick.
The Clippers own the Wolves unprotected draft pick for the 2012 draft. That's more valuable than just about anything the Knicks can offer, without even talking about prospects and expirings.
