Suns/Wizards - processed

[RaptorsGM]

We could meet in the ECF that way

[GoldenStateGM]

He's worth it though, my lineup would be amazing with Amare:

Griffin/Kaman
Amare/Curry
Dunleavy/Mo
Barry/ ?
Mercer/Speedy

I'm getting ahead of myself though

I just want to see how far Mercer will bounce of off Shaq when he tries to drive the lane... lol

[SunsGM]

I'm sad to have let go of Amare, and I really did not want him to leave,

but with thhe makeup of my team, and his impending free agent status,

i figured I might as well take the risk of moving him, and getting value.

Lamar Odom, is a verty versitle forward, and can play at the 3 or 4 spot,

and his 18 pts and 9 rebounds in 32 minutes were similar to Amare's 21 and 8 in 31 minutes.

The 3 first round picks were great for me, this draft is deep, and i have the opportunity to add 3 of the best 26 players in this draft.

i had some other deals, and they were solid, offers, but no one else stepped up with this type of deal, that allowed me to pretty much stay where i was, and add young players also.

i think that my core of Billups, Kobe, Rip Hamilton   edit:(who can make more of a contribution now, than the 10th player picked this yr):edit   Odom.Collier,Hunter and Havilcek is a good starting point, and i'll be able to build upon that and get better, i have 3 first round picks nrxt yr also now, and i can always add through my MLE and LLE.

Its a good deal for the Wizards too, they get a dominamt frontline player, who IF he resigns will be an anchor for their team for the next 8-10 seasons.

hopefully for the Wiz GM Amare takes a page from the Zachary Randoplh book, and resigns

Yes, this trade was a huge risk for me. But I figured if I never make risks I'll forever be stuck in the status quo. I lose Odom, who was a very solid player for me and traded Havlicek and a few other picks. This trade leaves me w\o a pg, but I'l look to fill that need through a minor trade or through FA. I refuse to move Arenas back to pg because he is horribly TO prone. He started the season with an average of 6.7 topg and has since lowered that by 2 topg since I moved him to sg. Amare will become a legit #1 scoring option, something I felt Odom never was. This trade is contingent on me resigning Amare, if I can't, I lose this trade big time.

[RaptorsGM]

I think this trade was a huge risk for both of you.

That being said, I think it was a GOOD trade for both of you.

[GoldenStateGM]

I think this trade was a huge risk for both of you.

That being said, I think it was a GOOD trade for both of you.

I agree with this completely...

[SunsGM]

its a risk on my end only if Amare Blows up and goes for 30 and 14 a game. i know that Amare hasent reached his full potential yet, but Odom is a solid pf,who gave the Wiz 18 and 10 last yr, and i have Kobe, so odom dosent have to score as much. for the Wiz, hopefully he
(Amare) does return, I would feel terribly if he gave me 3 first round picks, and his best player, for nothing, but really its not my problem anymore

it think its a good deal for both teams, maybe a little risky for me, but an the up and up, a great deal for both parties

[RaptorsGM]

Well, I don't think 2 of those firsts will be worth much. They both might have negative value.

However, Odom is going to be very hard to trade if he doesn't work with you. You're on the hook for 52 mil over 4 years.

[SunsGM]

Well the firsts are debateable, there were lots of players available for firsts this past draft, and i'll have 3 picks next yr to add depth if the draft is deep, or if not so much, i'm sure they can be moved.

As far as Odom, yes, if he dosent play well he'll be tough to move, but odom has a history in this league, and the previous league as being a solid player, and i expect him to continue to do so.

even having Odom at minimal numbers is better than loosing Amare for nothing, and having no resources to replace him.

hey wizGM, didn't sunsGM told you that this is a 3 team deal? now you have to send amare to the kings for brad miller...c'mon, hurry up i'm waiting

[SunsGM]

Man youre annoying, you really just come out of no where

 

By the way: good luck getting amare from the wiz with Brad Miller.

if it dident work on me, maybe it will work on the wiz gm.

although i hope it dosent

[RaptorsGM]

KingsGM, you're very weird.

[NetsGM]

Yeah, it is annoying.  He never actually discusses anything.

[SunsGM]

your right he never discusses anything, but he does manage to amuse me with his..........

whatever it is he does

But he should really tone down the crap he does.

[KingsGM-old]

you guys are just too much sensitive, little bit too friendly. c'mon where's the trash talk?!

p.s. i'd be very glad do discuss about alot of things, but since my SSBA and english language are very limited and i can't  translate what i really think, i'm limited to this stupid and pointless posts of mine l
