long story short the $6-$7mm drop once thought possible isnt happening. Likely its the same or closer to $1mm.

It means that if we can trade Jeffries, we will be able to sign two max free agents or we can resign Lee and sign Lebron, and then wait for next year to sign another max guy, which might be the better plan at this point.

$54 million, according to the buzz agents are getting.

Man I'm gonna lose it if we can somehow move JJ's contract or better yet Curry's! It'll be a madhouse around here if that ever happens. That would pretty much lock up Lebron IMO.

#s say higher

Curry 11.2
JJ 6.8
Gallo 3.3
Hill 2.7
Chandler 2.1
Douglas 1
Lee 9.5
Lebron 17
Thats $54mm and leaves us with enough to fill the roster

If the cap gets to $54 million, we probably can sell Lebron on this plan. We keep Lee and Lebron takes over Harrington's role in the offense. We then have enough expirings to sign yet another max player next summer and can probably retain jeffries for $2 mill per year.

No way we can move Eddy and moving JJ this year doesn't change much...
It can help to get some PG help (Duhon? Somebody?)

Hey! The Trailblazers need a center. Maybe we can get rid of Jeffries or Curry if we package Lee, and perhaps we can get Bayless and Fernandez back in the deal!

Merry X-Mas to us!

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I would shoot for Jordan Farmar. Maybe Felton. Maybe you trade Chander for Augistine... there are options.

i dunno man, i watched a ton of Lakers games last year in LA... i'm not crazy about Farmar at all... he's not even as good as Delonte West if u ask me.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
