NY sends KT to Utah for a late #1 (they have 2.. 22 and 23 I think)
NY sends that pick to LAC, with Nazr and Frank Williams (they desperatly need a PG) for Elton Brand.
LAC immediatly saves about $5 mill a year, gets 2 players that fill a need and an addition draft pick.
Look, I hate wasting time going over trade proposals but the Clippers were terrible, and my guess is they would rather sign the more exciting player to watch in QRichardson and get out from Brand's $80 mill contract.
What in Isiah's history suggests he will want to build his team around other team's castoffs and retreads?
I would hate to give up Frank AND Sweetney, but with Marbury 27 and Brand 25 you have a great inside outside combo on BOTH sides of the ball for next 8 years or more.
good post fish, the problem here with a lot of posters is that they get caught up with ESPN highlights on players and all of a sudden think they these guys are future hall of famers. I like Brand and magette and even Richardson, but with the exception for Q, the other two have huge deals, and neither are players that are going to lead their teams to the title without a star player to play with them. The clippers even realize this, that is why it is not so far fetched to think that the clippers for the right deal and some cap flex, would part with brand... There are no more stephon Marbury's out there for the clippers to get, and hadn't it been for the heat offering brand that deal, the clipps might not have given him that much money.... I would not be suprised to see what IT comes up with, it may not be brand but I am sure he is going to get the knicks what they need to succeed...
