So why come didn't trade Jeffries and Nate to SAC?
who knows. Maybe SAC demanded a first rounder, maybe Walsh thought they could get a better deal down the road, maybe Walsh thought that there was a chance to make the playoffs at the time.
who knows and who cares. It certainly doesn't mean Walsh wont trade JJ and/or Nate later, and it certainly doesn't mean they want to keep them either.
or maybe that deal was never discussed to begin with? Walsh categorically denied there was any truth to that rumor... should we listen to "unnamed sources" that come up w/those rumors or take it straight from the horse's mouth?
What does it matter, if we aren't even suppose to believe him according to Martin and nyk4ever. That trade proposal came out of Sacramento. It was very detail. Even the golden boy Hahn confirmed that Sacramento wanted Nate that bad.
UPDATE - 3:34 p.m. - The Kings tried to get Nate Robinson from the Knicks and offered to take Jared Jeffries' contract as incentive. The Knicks would have taken back Kenny Thomas' deal, which expires in 2010. So the Knicks could have saved $6.8M off the cap in 2010-11. But in the end, as close as this one came to happening, Donnie Walsh turned it down. - Alan Hahn
