Knicks/Raptors Trade

<< < (8/9) > >>

Its not that smart though. Giving away a pick and $ for it. Also, at the moment the Denver pick is sitting at 22nd. If they (for example) lose a few games and fall back 2 games, the pick goes to 13. Denver are in a weird situation where if they fall back in the stands just a little, they fall a lot. Some geek on the Toronto board was explaining it.

Also, how can you call Eddy Curry overpriced? We are paying him around 8mil this season. He is a 22 year old 6'11 post threat with A LOT of game. 90 mil for Dalembert = overpaid   63 mil for Chandler = very questionable  50mil over 5 years for Eddy Curry, not as bad as you'd think. Penny Hardaway we took on to get Marbury, so that explains it. Due to our cap situation (and endless cash supply), when we make a trade, we generally have to take on extra money as well. Like when we traded Nazr for Malik and 2 1st round picks (one of which is David Lee). We took on extra years of Malik's contract, to get two 1st round picks. We wont be under the cap until atleast 07/08. Allan Houston, JYD, Shandon Anderson, Mo Taylor, Malik are all off at the end of 06/07. Without resigning any players at this point in time and dropping all of them, we go from $120m to $47m. But obviously we will have other guys added before then, possibly Mike James ;)

Well I agree EC does have game but his heart problems worry me, he already had to sit out almost a whole season and theres no telling when it might happen again.  When you are diagnosed with a heart murmer or irregular heart beat, it doesnt go away.  Hoepfully he remains healthy tho, I do think he is a good player. 

But 8 mil a season for Curry is still alot of money when you also have to pay for Marbury, Crawford, Richardson and now Rose.......Yikes :-\
