I know, I know, that is a mammoth of a contract that Z just recieved. So let it be, he will be "untradeable". He is easily one of the top five centers in the league, maybe top three, and I got him.

The only reason that I resigned the big guy was because this deal was in place.

Even though I have some PGs on my roster, Schenk will look to be the starter by next year.

Melo, at age 20, has very nice ratings, and should improve in training camp.  B inside, B outside and B defense is pretty impressive.

Litwack will fit nicely with Cleveland, and his club now has that premier post threat in the suddenly big Eastern Conference (Tanner, Shaq, Dalembert, Ferry, Curry/Griffin/Kaman, Magloire, Mihm).

I stay young and financially flexible.  (I still have over 13 million in cap after this deal)

Sonics agree, and are still building a winner.

Hm..

So you traded Z for Ray Allen.

Then ray allen for Carmelo and Kenyon.

Then Carmelo and your 1st for Z.

So in essence it's your 1st for Kenyon.

Not bad.

And I really like it for Seattle as well.  That mammoth contract wasn't good for rebuilding.  I love Carmelo and Schenk.

Oh yeah, I also remember that the PacersGM, I think it was him, predicted this deal after I gave out hints about my soon to be spectacular frontcourt. Good call.

Z was bound to find his way back to Cleveland. I missed that inside presence when I traded him away, and had to have him back. This is where he belongs.  Smile

god the east is stacked, frontcourt wise.

Sixers, Nets, Raptors, Cavs, Hawks, as well as guys I'm forgetting.

I still have you beat both defensively and on the boards, Cavs.  At both positions.

Barely. But your offense is no match.

Really?  I've got the best offensive player of the group.  I don't want 2 people trying to score 20 ppg in the low blocks.

Didn't you learn from your LeBron/Ray Ray experiment?  Wink
