If they are keeping Woody, trade Shump for help in the frontcourt or for a young PG (Still behind you Murry!), and if you are gonna drop Woodson keep Shump and trade JR to a team like the Lakers who is gonna need guys to win now.This team is such a clusterf.....They really should pull that Amare to the Celtics deal now, if the plan is to keep Carmelo at PF, Crash is a great fit at SF. PG is a real team need here, Beno fooled me a few games ago, but I have to admit the team seems to have a better flow with him on the floor than with Felton, who seems to be an ideal 3rd guard since he can swing between the 1 & 2.
I agree about the Celtic trade. I also think Hump would play really well with minutes in NY. The guy bangs and boards. Hated him on the Nets but when he got minutes he played well.
Not too crazy with a Celtics deal. Crash looks shot and it's not just this season. He was horrible last season too. Hump..I don't know what happened to him. Maybe there is such a thing as a Kardashian curse. But he doesn't really help us either because he can't defend bigs.
And Amar'e helps us?
No, I'm just not interested in trading trash for trash. I say we let STAT expire and move on, unless it's a move to get more picks.
That (letting Stat's contract expire) only makes sense if you think their would be a pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow in 2015. I'm personally skeptical of that happening but to each his own.
But you're talking about trading him for hot garbage with a longer contract. Humphries has been in the league for 9 years and has 2 good seasons to his name: 2010-2012. Gerald Wallace is completely washed up. He's been awful since he got to NJ and you want to pay him $10M/year for the next three years.
What does your proposed trade accomplish for us? We're not getting any young assets/draft picks in return. We're not getting talented players in return. We're not getting players to fill any need; we already have Melo, Bargnani, and Martin to play power forward and you're talking about trading for two more power forwards. We're not cutting salary in any meaningful way and, in fact, would be taking back a longer term contract.
Wallace has the worst contract in the league, no doubt, but I think he is still serviceable. He still does the garbage man things that he's always done, he's just been irrelevant offensively and much of that had to do in a iso-heavy Nets offense. If you crank up the tempo and get some ball movement he'd be fine but of course, that'a a big "If" for us, given our offensive tendencies. I'd still roll the dice on him because he'a only under contract for one more year after 2015 and is still much better than Metta World Peace.
I also don't mine Humphries but I view him more as a trade chip because of his expiring contract. I sincerely think we can swing a deal with Orlando, using it (along with Shumpert and filler) to bring back Aaron Afflalo, Jameer Nelson and Brandon Bass (who would be flipped to NY for Glen Davis). I only do the trade if this is possible or if something could be done with Humphries' contract.
