Around SBN: Bill Stewart Dead From Apparent Heart Attack

I've never posted a trade on here before but...


I'm bored at work so fuck it. How you like this one bitches?

 

Houston sends T-Mac to Minnesota for Al Jefferson

Minnesota sends Mark Blount (he's getting paid $7.9m this year, wtf?!) to Washington

Washington sends Caron Butler to Houston

 

Why the Rockets should do it:

Caron Butler and Al Jefferson, not much D but a lot of O. But hey, they can learn while they're here.

 

Why Timberwolves and Wizards should do it:

They both suck, fuck 'em. Plus McGrady and Blount come off the books this year. I don't know both of their teams specifics, but whatever, the trade machine says it worked so whatever! Plus they're not releasing their players to Eastern Conference teams. That's why I've held my tongue when it comes to CP3, that's just not gonna happen, ever.

 

Plus I think we'll still have a little money left to resign Lowry, Scola might have to walk though, but with AJ and Carl, I think we're good to go. Scola, as amazing as he's been playing this year, is getting a little older. AJ's only 25, got hurt last year yes, but if he's ready then awesome. Same situation if we picked up Chris Bosh, we'd have to let Scola go.


Ok those are my thoughts, now let's hear yours ladies and gentlemen!

 

I'm gonna add a poll cause I've never made my own before:

The trade sounds fine, but

why would MN want to be rid of Jefferson? Do you really buy the “complete house cleaning” theory there?

Because they tried to get rid of Jefferson for Danny Granger

Kevin Love and Al Jefferson are not best buddies, and I think Minny wants to get rid of Jefferson vs Love. As for Caron Butler, I’ve always liked his game too, but he’s kinda like Ariza…can play the 2-guard spot, but is better at the 3.

B^2
In Daryl Morey, Rick Smith and Ed Wade we (usually) trust.

They tried to get rid of Jefferson for a talented player to be part of their rebuilding process. They don’t need cap space right now, and even if they did, they have enough of it. They want talent for Jefferson, and would never even entertain this trade. Think about it, would LeBron or Wade go to Minnesota? No. So why would Minnesota give up a great asset in order to clear cap space?

ya know...

This just might work.

Factor in that David Kahn and Ernie Grunfeld are two of the worst at their jobs and I could completely see Daryl Morey pulling a fast one on ’em.

just know that next year’s luxury tax would be a bitch for the Rockets were this to actually happen.

Since I trust Morey to do the right thing,

… I voted that “work sucks”…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
