8 Team, 19 Player Trade
Thursday, 13 July 2006
According to multiple sources, in a story broken by Sacramento's Grant Napier on Tuesday evening sports radio, owners and general managers are scrambling to put the finishing touches on a massive 8 team trade. Originally slated to include 6 teams and 16 players two other clubs jumped in on the action Wednesday night bringing the total players involved to as many as 19.
The Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers may go down as the franchise who started it all with their heavy shopping of guard Allen Iverson. Golden State is rumored to be the new home of the electric guard who has NBA Finals experience, an All-Star game MVP trophy, and a league leader in scoring to his credit. Golden State is set to send out forward Troy Murphy in the deal.
The Denver Nuggets are looking to settle the fued between head coach George Karl and disgruntled and oft-injured power forward Kenyon Martin. The New York Knicks have coveted Martin seeking to place the rugged forward alongside Eddy Curry. The Knicks are set to send out Steve Francis to make room for KMart. Also outgoing from Denver would be guard Andre Miller.
The Sacramento Kings appear on the verge of losing guard Bonzi Wells but will seek to sign and trade him in this massive scenerio. Meanwhile the Indiana Pacers will be sending out forward/center Jeff Foster, guard Jamaal Tinsley, and forward Stephen Jackson.
The Atlanta Hawks are in the action looking to sign and trade forward Al Harrington. The Seattle Supersonics are rumored to be the 8th team as they are looking to sign and trade Chris Wilcox who's contract negotiations have come to an impasse.
Eight other players are involved in order to make the salaries match under the current CBA rules.
A huge press conference is scheduled for Friday afternoon as long as all parties can agree and the league approves this NBA record sized transaction.
Sounds too massive to go down...Allen Iverson for Troy Murphy? I dunno 'bout this one...

Fuck that! Indy giving away foster, sarunas and Jackson??
-
wtf ??? :eh:
-
Davis and Iverson? Sounds coo
-
The Sixers are lucky to win a game next season if that goes down
-
If Philly gets rid of AI it will be more likely a salary dump rather than improving the team... they could prolly get 3 solid players with the dough they are paying for AI.....Toronto did the same thing with Jalen Rose.......he had a contract worth over 90 mil, so they traded him for not much, but its really paying off now....
-
this is too large for me to comprehend without a list of:
a) what players played for what team before the trade
b) where the players will land up after the trade
im sure if i take a while to think about it though, id eventually get it loll

This trade replaces the last trade of Sarunas and Jeff Foster for Bonzi Wells with Stephen Jackson, Jeff Foster, and Jamaal Tinsley for Bonzi Wells (and possibly a few more players)...

Yea, well, I'm sure a list will come out if it goes down...

Wow it would be crazy if it goes down. I was hoping the Lakeshow would be involved...I think they need to make another move to get a point guard.

Kenyon Martin was at my work on monday, i dont know what his ass is doin in town, it was funny as fuck, some guy was shouting from the upper pavillion "how'd it feel to lose to the clippers K-mart?" and dude got heated, he told us to get him away, i laughed.

76ers would be making a huge transition in their franchise to move to a stage of total rebuilding of the team and they also lose their face of the franchise who is worth millions in just mercahdise and other revenue and getting nutin in return. philly fans r pretty crazy and arent gonna be too happy but i guess they werent really going anywhere wit iverson.

AI for Livingston Has been thrown around as well. I would NOT like that trade one bit neither, AI is on the decline and Livingston is on the uprise.

I know AI is getting older but his last 2 years were some of his best years ever, at least statistically. But I will agree they were the most pathetic team in the league last year missing the playoffs with AI, C-Webb, Korver, Sam D, Iguodala, absolutely pathetic.

Another point guard? We already have a point-guard glut...
Smush Parker/Jordan Farmar/Sasha Vujacic/Shammond Williams.

Livingston will be lucky to accomplish half of what Iverson has. Iverson still has years ahead of him and is a proven superstar. Livingston is good, but hasn't really proven much...Phili would be nuts to do that trade, Iverson's value is MUCH higher...PeACe

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I love Smush's game, thats why I dont understand why Laker fans think they must go get a pg. Give Smush some time, hes a very solid player. Honestly I dont know how much Shammond will help you guys, but I dont think LA needs to worry about a pg. Even if Smush had no offensive game (which he does) you would still want him on your team cause of his tenacious defense, I love his game.

Lol at the sixers if this trade goes down though I really doubt it

Yea, Laker fans really underrate Smush due to the fact that the last memory they have of him was his disappointing playoff performance (which happened to be his first one). He's a good player though and will improve with experience...Jordan Farmar is tearing shit up in the summer league as well, he is a natural, definitely the future point guard of the Lakers...Sasha is probably gunna play more shooting guard this year, and Shammon Williams was an MVP caliber player in the Euroleague. He will give us the veteran/experienced push we need at the point...

Yea I dont understand why Laker fans are so hard on Smush. Yea Farmar is going to be good but honestly I still kinda think Smush is the future pg for the Lakers, I dont know I just really like his game.

i really want A.I. to go to Boston. him and Paul Pierce would be crazy.
-
oh and lakers fans who are hard on smush parker (such as myself) are so hard on him because he had the potential to be our 3rd option, but he just wont step up and play at the level that he's capable of. hopefully he'll improve, if not...TRADE HIM in the middle of the season!

Dude...He's 24 years old. You're asking him to be a primary option when it was basically his rookie season in the NBA. LMAO. Give him time, he wasn't even supposed to start last season. Even if he doesn't improve (which I gaurantee he will), he's still a very serviceable role-player...PeACe

Smush is good, but Farmar is special though...He's a true leader, a pure point guard with the charisma, brains, skills and athleticism to make it far in the NBA...I can definitely see a future Farmar-Bynum tandem.

Yea I agree and Smush will improve Im sure of it. Imo he will become better than just a servicable roleplayer.
-
Smush is a good player and he will improve he has a bright future that is all correct. That problem is we need a point guard thats goin to get it done know not in the future. I'm not hard on Smush I actualy like him I just call em how I see em.
-
a good player
will
get it done
-
Lakers will definitley be stronger this year, people are forgetting last year was the first year of rebuilding, so many new pieces, Phil just got back. This next year there will be much better chemistry which is so important. The starting 5 was just getting to know each other last year and they almost ripped through the Suns, imagine that team but well established and experienced. Now they actually have their feet on the ground. I can't wait til October
-
Smush sucks?

That lay up vs toronto was sick. Kobe does that everyday though, lol

wow the sixers are retarded if they give up AI for what it seems that they'd be getting
-
wow the sixers are retarded if they give up AI for what it seems that they'd be getting
It'd be more for salary cap relief, but yea, that's pretty retarded...
-
but its kinda pointles for the sixers to keep AI, their gettin nowhere with him, they can keep him for the rest of his career and wont get anywhere so they might as well get rid of him and save some money if their gonna lose anyways

Kinda how I feel, I meen they should have made the playoffs with all of the talent they have.

yeah i can see that side of it , but like someone said earlier the outside revenue that he brings to that franchise AND that city is worth more than that, that's something you can bank off of years after he retires.

i don't see it as AI's fault, dude is playing his heart out out there in philly trying to do all he can to help that franchise. i mean it's not like he's kevin garnett, who grabs fairly decent numbers but fails to take charge as a leader. I feels it's the front office and perhaps the coaching staffs fault here for their performance in the last couple of years, when i look at Last years sixer line up, you have many big names that are pretty good, but the chemistry isn't there, most of those players are to like-minded. the coaching staff and the front office need to build around AI better

lol at saying KG grabs fairly decent numbers. Id say 22ppg, 13rpg, and a block and a half is just a little more than "decent numbers"

apart from his MVP season when he had Cassell leading the wolves he hasn't been able to do anything significant with those numbers

one great player can't win it all. ask kobe, ask paul pierce, ask iverson.
