NY-trades Ward, Spoon and Knight to Dallas
Dallas-trades Van Exel and Bradley to NY.
No deal, the only person Dallas is interested in is Kurt Thomas. Layden has to decide if giving up Kurt is worth getting Nick. I think he’s waiting until he “fixes” the center situation before he goes after Nick, or any other point guard. Then Kurt will be more expendable than he currently is. BTW I just found out that Nick makes 10 mil per. Is he worth it? If we deal Kurt, we have to send them Eisley. We get a PG (who’s backing up Nash) making 10 mil, then we have to send them some “baggage”.
Example: “We get your explosive, but overpaid backup PG; you take our overpaid backup PG, and get some size (KT).” This is the only way this deal works. If we give them Ward, I think we get shafted in this deal.
