Trey johnson is as good as Almond, IMO, and would be free.

is this a joke?

Malik Rose for Harpring, Almond, our '10 1st round pick back & an '09 2nd rounder

yep, seems like a fair & equitable trade to me... i think u might have had a little too much egg nog.

Did sound a little lopsided.

I am dying to see this Almond play considering how hot of a topic he consistently is around here.

u'd be lucky to get Harpring by himself in exchange for Malik.

Isn't Lamar Odom expiring anyway?

This would be a very merry christmas indeed if we could get all that for Malik.

TMS you dont follow basketball pass the Knicks I guess---Matt Harpring is a bit player now--hardly worth a minimum contract let alone 13mm$

apparently u don't follow the Knicks i guess if u think Malik Rose is netting us anything more than a bit role player at this point... to think we'd be able to milk a 1st round pick, a 2nd round pick AND a prospect out of any team for him in a deal is downright idiotic... this latest trade idea of yours is just a slight notch above the other brilliant one u suggested last week to trade D Lee for Marcus Williams, & that's not saying much... i find it hilarious how u choose to downgrade people's knowledge of the NBA whenever people don't agree w/1 of your hair brained schemes to improve this franchise.

It's called an ending contract--understand the concept--we give them the ending contract--they save 9mm dollars next year with salary and tax. In return we get assets--this is how Utah obtained our pick via Phoenix. It's done nearly every year in the NBA. I siad we should trade David Lee for Branden Wright Randolph and Williams. I guess you forgot the first two because you have no idea who they are

Why we should have any idea who they are?

In one thread you say we shouldn't go after any 3point shooters and then about 10 minutes later you make this thread

The primary reason I would do the deal--and make no mistake Utah WOULD do a deal like this in terms of thei finances--is to return our 2010 UNRESTRICTED pick asset to us--it's an enormous asset. Utah is saving 9.1mm if they do the deal--so it is very reasonable for them to add in a 2nd rounder 2009 and contracts match Harpring/Almond Rose. We may need that asset--very much like Boston used it for Ray Allen or to get rid of Curry before the 2010 draft. It's an important asset and it would be nice to get it back.

I don't know why everyone is giving Briggs a hard time HERE. Ok, he was ranting a couple of months ago due to Gallo Fever but I see his point here.

From the way I see it, Briggs is saying Utah has salary cap issues and would give us a prospect (Almond) as well as our pick back if we take on salary for next year. I think that is easy to understand and relatively straight forward. Next we COULD use either of those to help move Curry, if need be. But we may not have to. Those are real assets unlike Isiah assets.

I can agree with Briggs here. But lets not stop there. What other teams are needing to shed salary? Portland could use a veteran... Remember we have a year to wait, though we can always pick someone up in 2009...

Ideas???
