I am not sure I would even go for the above trade. Willis is in the last year of his contract and may disappear after the season and Wahad is signed to an ungodly long contract and would be behind Anderson, Spree, and Houston. No thanks.
Though it isn't the best deal we could possibly do, it still makes some sense. The fact is we need a solid back-up center and Willis fits the bill. Cook you can place on the end of the roster and just forget about him until about three years later. Wahad may cause a rotation problem, but who says he has to play anyways. I'm still hesitant on trading Harrington, but if a deal like this comes along soon, it may be in our best interest to accept.
yeah, who says wahad has to play anyway? who cares if we pay him big bucks or no money, it's not coming directly from our pocket and it's not going into our pocket, so what difference does it make? NYK is never gonna be under the cap. EVER. What are we going to do with ward? Harrington? both of them are out of the rotation anyway. We might as well get willis who is gonna be in the rotation at backup Center, and Cook who can mature, JVG can whip him into shape over a couple of years, who cares if he sits on the bench for a while? We're solid at the PG (not phenomenal, but solid) with Mark Jax and Eisley.
We can always try and trade Wahad, or just cut the guy, and pay him regardless, like what we're doing with Vernon Maxwell.
