God to think we got rid of Eisley and to take him back? I would vomit. Eisley, Anderson and Moochie at the end of the bench? That would be a happy bunch. And considering combined they make the Charlotte Bobcats salary, that would be a surreal 10, 11, 12th man trio.

Id be willing to move KT to Phoenix for the Bulls #1 pick in 2005 and Eisley. That would relieve us of payroll and give us an unprotected pick in next years draft.

Keep dreaming , this isn't happening.
Phoenix has improved significantly; they're probably *not* going to have a top 15 draft pick. I'd rather have Kurt than Eisley plus a pick in the late teens

So let's try to trade him to atlanta, they're under the cap, so we wouldn't have to get that much of a salary back. They need a pg, we could even give them moochie for free, as a friendly discount !

I just cant stomach Eisley on this roster in any capacity, but I hear you.

You know fish, eisley is not so dangerous in himself. What is really dangerous is a eisley - chaney combo.

Only chaney could make eisley spend more time on the court that on the IL. If we had eisley back (weird, I've just vomitted my lunch), i'm sure IT wouldn't have lenny to make him play.

its the chicago bulls pick for luol deng which has no protection. theyve shown that they will trade any pick and want to win now. they have no chance IMHO to get a guy better than KT while getting rid of Eisley. Thats a big cost and that asset to me is extremely attractive. I could care less if eisley was back. If we get Dampier and Baker-WTF are we going to do with KT?

I dont want to trade for any more players because our line up is set. the draft pick[which should be 4-8]with those large ending contracts could net us something of tremendous value ORjust make our team younger and better throigh the draft.

Isiah's not going to make any trades to get back Eisley imho...but i like the premise of trading KT for a bad contract & a lottery pick...i don't see it happening w/Eisley though, because he just harkens back memories of Scott Layden & i don't think Isiah would want to revisit that again.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Kurt doesn't like playing with Steph, trade the guy immedialty, Steph is so accomplished in this league that we want to trade a blue collar guy who hits the boards and plays defense....Everyone really needs to stop giving Marbury so much credit he is a very good player, and i like him, but lets not forget he was terrible in the Playoffs, couldn't score in the second half of games and when the Knicks had a six point lead with 4 min (game 4)left in the forth who right away launched up two ill advised threes, yup that right Starbury.....a lot of people don't like player with him, so until he proves that he is the man, not even close lets not try to tailor everything to him....

How do you know that?? I hope you have a better answer than, "Some newspaper writer speculated that they don't get along."

I question that relationship also, since KT scored like 4-8 easy buckets a game last year when Marbury would go off a pick set by KT and throw the behind the back bounce pass to a wide open KT who would drain the J. Easy points baby. Why would he dislike him if he makes KT's offensive job soo much easier?
