Mavs/Pacers

[CelticsGM]

Damn.. Nice trade for the Pacers. They got a very good C in Dampier. In return they basically give up nothing.

Dampier
J-neal
Melo
Artest
Fisher

Damn...

Now what puzzles me is that they already have a C very close to Damp on their roster. Cato gives them roughly 10/12 recently with superb defense next to JO.
And whil it didn't cost them much .. it may cost them more now (in the W column). They picked up a great defensive C which might give them 11/13. What he also gives them is
- 42% shooting (at C now, he was really playing out of position next to Z at PF) vs. 46% from Cato
- 66% ft shooting (vs. 79%)
- 2 TOs a game (vs. less than 1)
- 2 blocks (vs. 1.5)

Now why he is definitely and improvement over whoever backed up Cato and JO before, I wouldn't exactly call that an area of big need for the Pacers. So they lost an interesting prospect big man (which are rare too)and a low draft pick for a VERY SMALL upgrade ...

It will all come down to Pacers, Nets and Clippers. Actually Mavs did us a favor here in the West. He made the path more easier for Jazz and myself with this trade. Too bad i don't have a contender to exploit that.

Then stop complaining and build one. A dozen teams are about to (or did already) start rebuilding and I haven't seen that many solid players available in a league since the last expansion draft.

Nah, there is only one player i have that people are interested.

[PacersGM]

Alright, here's the deal.

At 2:05 pm Mavs traded for, and subsequently cut Antwan Jamison.  This is equivalent of posting in the cuts/signings forum.

At 2:05 pm Celtics posted in the Cuts/signings forum that he is signing Antwan Jamison.

However, Antwan Jamison is not a free agent until he leaves the Pacers.  That doesn't happen until Pacers accept.  So, technically, Jamison was cut at 2:08 pm (when the Pacers accepted).  Then the first one to sign him was, in fact, the Pacers (at 2:08 as well).

Antwan Jamison is returning to the Pacers in what will be the last of these types of moves.

i can´t understand why the spurs and magic are allowed to change their deal and here it is not.
ME and the mavs both agreed that jamison will not be cut and resigned and still bods insist that he is part of the trade. If the celtics want jamison they have to talk to the mavs since imo i am not the owner of jamison anymore.

What's going on? Who has Jamison after all? I want him too!

[NetsGM]

spurs and magic posted the trade incorrectly.  you changed your mind.  that's the difference.  I went back and verified this from past pm's.

trades cannot be altered once posted and agreed upon.

What I don't really like is the fact that the Pacers get Jamison.

IMO, once the Mavs post the trade and say that they will be cutting Jamison, he's fair game.

I really think the Celtics should get Jamison.

I accept this final word

[NetsGM]

alright, forget it.  Pacers had 15 players under roster, i forgot who he wanted to cut, Jamison is on the Celtics

The way it should be.

Nice call. Great signing Celtics.
