Abdur-Rahim used to cry in Vancouver, and I don't see how he would help this team next year when McDyess is here.
-I'm all for Mohammed, he seems to be a budding young center.
-If Spree can be traded in this deal I wouldn't mind Terry, I know it causes matchup problems but I don't care, he's a solid player and scorer, and he and Vujanic would form the fastest backcourt in the league.
-Ratliff is always an injury problem, which is why I don't really want him, but he's a good shotblocker and rebounder. If he was a throw in and not the main part of the trade I would be fine with it, but I wouldn't make any moves just for him.

TRADE ID - 906912

ATL - If ATL doesn't make the playoffs this year then Babcock is out to make some personnel changes to ease the cap problem of ATL. It has been reported that no one in the ATL is untouchable which means Reef is available. Expiring contracts like Smith, Kerr and Willis helps Babcocks cause plus it would bring nostalgia to the fans to have Willis and Smith retire in an ATL uni. Also, this makes ATL a player in next year's crop of FA's.

C Theo Ratliff - Kevin Willis
PF Nazr Mohammed - Alan Henderson
SF Glenn Robinson - Darvin Ham
SG Steve Smith - Ira Newble
PG Jason Terry - Steve Kerr

SA - Spree might be the missing puzzle in the Spurs' drive to another championship. They are undermanned at the 2 spot with Stephen Jackson and Manu Ginobili there so Spree is definitely an upgrade. Plus, Othella just boosts their bench. Their basically giving away nothing for something.

C David Robinson - Othella Harrington
PF Tim Duncan - Malik Rose
SF Bruce Bowen - Danny Ferry
SG Latrell Sprewell - Stephen Jackson
PG Tony Parker - Speedy Claxton

NYK - It's the best deal that we can get for Spree and our pick. Reef can play SF and with Dice coming over next season that's a really tall line-up. Even if Reef doesn't work out for us he is a valuable trade commodity to other teams next year. Also, I think Dermarr Johnson will make a comeback from his accident and with our pick being in the mid 15's I think Dermarr is better on whoever is available by the time we have our pick.

C Kurt Thomas - Michael Doleac
PF Antonio McDyess - Clarence Weatherspoon
SF Shareef Abdur-Rahim - Shandon Anderson
SG Allan Houston - DerMarr Johnson
PG Howard Eisley - Charlie Ward

good trade, but sports illstraded said that Dermarr Johnson might never play again. So in reality its 3 for 1 and we are risking alot on another injury
