He's got a point though. A really good point.

this is a good point.. but what Erniedoesn't realize is that he's setting up every other team in the Easternconference. i wish some of these damn teams were in the West.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07
Ithink there may be something into the Wizards trying to force the handof certain teams to make a trade for Gil. There are going to be a lotof teams with the cap space to take on his contract that WILL miss outon some of these big FA's. Gil was at 80-85% last year and put up goodnumbers (minus his TO's)....I can really see a team making a push toland him if they lose out on signing someone in this FA class. Therewill be desperate teams out there looking to make a splash one way oranother....Originally Posted by Proshares
dudes are really just dying to give Chicago, Miami and New Jersey cap room.
i didn't know Yi was an even 7-footer. i dont have a problem with the trade.
as for the Gil/VC stuff... i LOVE Gil, but we need to be honest.. we'renot going to be contending anytime soon, with or without him. i'drather suck now with the chance to get better later, than be burdenedby Gilbert's contract for the next 3 years. basketball-wise do i wantVC on the team over Gilbert? hell no.. but in the long run, it would befor the better.

This is random, but I was thinking that John Wall was privy to some info that Foye wasn't going to be retained and Ross was going to be moved.....reason being, last week when he was asked about what numbers he might choose, he said 3 & 15 were two numbers that he liked....at the time, 3 was Ross', and 15 was Foye's. NOTHING had been made clear to the public about what the team was planning on doing with either player. I think the writing was on the wall for Foye, so we could kinda guess that he wasn't going to be here....but maybe EG told him that Ross was going to be moved at some point....I dunno
A lil conspiracy theory on my part....
Wall...DON'T TAKE #15....

I'm pretty sure that if we make a trade with NY Eddie Curry's expiring contract will be a part of the deal and some filler,Grunfield will probably try to pluck one of NY young talents and if they balk it will be more of a salary dump than anything.
I can see it from that angle but if I'm Donnie Walsh I'm not touching that move. Let Curry come off the books at the end of the 2011 season naturally instead of dumping one of your key pieces in trying to get another FA here next summer. I touched on it in the NYK season thread but one thing they have going for them is the fact that Chicago and Miami can not offer cap space for next season as well.
DJ's, about Yi helping Wall's global image it's the same thing as the Yao/McGrady effect on a lower level.
I can't really remember off-hand, but did the exposure to the Chinese market help T-Mac when he was w. the Rockets?
im not you

I think with both deals, Wizards might have to include a draft pick and also take on a bad contract (Andersen..etc)....but if we can land Melo....[clay davis] sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt [/clay davis]

I wouldnt really consider Birdman a big contract, but wouldnt the Nuggets want both blatche, mcgee, and a draft pick?
and honestly, if i were the Nuggets i still wouldnt want that deal...

I dont see the Nuggets wanting another PG since they have billups and lawson. would it be possible to do a 3 way trade? Gil to the Knicks, Melo to the Wiz, Curry + Chandler or Draft Pick to the Nuggets or something?
