go for it.

Bibby's making $11.5 mil and Marbury's making $16.4 mil. You can't do the trade straight up. Sac does have players they could add to make the trade work, though. Marbury's the better player obviously. Even in a down year, he's putting up comparable #s to Bibby. When Briggs posted this, I assumed the trade would at least help us to get younger, but Bibby's only 9 months younger than Marbury. Bibby has played 7K fewer career min than Marbury. The min could take their toll on Marbury, I guess. I'm not really sure what this accomplishes for us, though. We don't get younger or more talented.

Idk, I'd rather give this team more time

Ditto. We don't get younger or upgrade talent-wise in this trade. It seems more like a panic move to Marbury's slow start and the team's slow start. I'm not sure Sac would do the deal anyway.

It's really just a media soap opera. They'll CREATE a new soap opera if Marbury is traded.

Successful Scenario
Due to New York and Sacramento being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and Sacramento had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Trade ID
Every trade made by fans is allocated a unique Trade ID which you can share with friends and fellow basketball fans to allow them to see your trade scenario. The Trade ID for this scenario is 2646208. 

Sacramento is not trading us Bibby and Peja for Marbury and Q... theres just no chance in hell.

bibby's contract is much smaller, and he's younger.

would I do it -- IDK. That's about as close to equal talent as you're gonna get these days. but why would sactown do it?

marbury's a bit better on defense, but he's more selfish and less clutch, plus he comes with a bigger contract.

Posted by BRIGGS:

they have the matching salaries with matching neccessities

Salaries: Marbury: 16,453,125, 18,281,250, 20,109,375, 21,937,500

Bibby: 11,500,000, 12,500,000, 13,500,000, 14, 500,000

Briggs, those are hardly matching salaries, the only thing similar are the yrs, and they are two different PG's, granted Biby would work better in LB's system!.

they have throw ins we would have to take to level the salry back and forth.
