Gooden traded to Clippers?

[Karma]

Our trade exception I believe is worth 2.5 million, i may be wrong. Plus we only need to be within a certain percentage as well. So yes it may just work without Sasha thrown in.

Ever since the Jazz got in the running for Saras I've had a bad feeling that we're not going to get either of the two PGs we want. **sigh**

If it comes to this, we then chase Earl Watson or Steve Blake and utilise the extra space we have left over for assistance up front. We do not need a star at the point, just players who can fit the role.

Nothing we haven't already been talking about, but I thought it should go in this thread.

Dude, the Jazz are getting on my nerves now. First Loozer, now him, then every other player in the NBA. It seems like they are signing whoever they want, and it seems like they got no limitations. Can someone tell me how they got all this money and space to do all these signings (The previous years to)?

^ Good point. Where did Utah get this money? Or are they offering the full MLE?

Utah needs to back-off so we can have Sarunas. You took Loozer, your not having Sarunas too!

Ruanu, the Jazz have the MLE to spend on Sarunas, which we may not quite be able to match since signing Marshall. Every team over the cap has this advantage over us now, if they have not already spent those dollars.

Good thing we absolutely needed Donyell Marshall more then a PG[end sarcasm], we could have afforded AD or someone now the list is getting short...and we hear Steve Blake and people like that...

Thank Ferry for doing such a bang up job so far. When Hughes was picked up, while I loved the signing to me it said we have to get a shooter at the point. Saras immediately rocketed to the top of my board. But with the addition of Donyell, that's not so much the case. You always want your point guard to be able to nail the wide open shot. That's a given. But now we don't have to have a dead eye gun slinging three point bomber at the point. If we can just get a good all around player, we should be ok.

Oh, and concerning the earlier question: can we get Saras AND Jaric? The only way that makes sense is if we get rid of Snow. We could sign Saras and then trade Snow and Gooden for Jaric and filler. Having Jaric and Saras is a VAST improvement over Snow and J-Mac. That I would love. But it's not going to happen. No one wants Snow with his contract.

There WILL be another player added to this trade if it goes through. Even with the trade exception i dont believe we will be within the 25%.

I just hope this all just silly rumours being bandied about by bored reporters and that initial reports that Saruanus has agreed to a deal in Cleveland are true. All this specualtion does make us a little on edge, but I guess this is half the fun of being a fan. If we do miss the main point guards due to lack of cap space it would be the first cross against Ferry as a GM. Personally if we ended up with an Earl Watson, I would still consider it a solid move. I place him above Damon Stoudamire personally.

I would prefer Gooden/AV at the 4 and Saras/Snow at the 1 to Marshall/AV at the 4 and Snow/Blake at the 1. That is annoying. I still think Marshall was a good signing, but it was a much better signing when we thought it was done with Saras already under wraps!

Before you make those comments you need to lay down all the facts and realise Blake will come for less dollars which will also allow us to sign another decent free agent.

yeah no sh*t, pf wasn't our main priority and if we were going to use the majority of our money on marshall we should have been sure Saras was ours..If we can't get him I either want 1 of the Damon's, Jaric is slow and always hurt and Wilcox is wielding guns and stuff..no need for them here.

With Dooling heading to Orlando, Miami will step up and resign Damon Jones in my opinion. Our other alternatives are to grab Jaric in an ugly sign and trade, sign the troubled Damon Stoudamire, then look at solid point guard Earl Watson, then if we really strike out Steve Blake. Watson to me is a good choice, and was a guy Fratello turned to down the stretch for Memphis over Williams.

 

[cdt]

I'd prefer Damon Jones to all of the remaining, because we wouldn't lose Drew, Stoudemire is a bad character guy getting older and older, Watson isn't really on the same tier as the aforementioned, and Jones can shoot the 3 well too.
