Ha! Didn't see those 2 guys before me cuz I was writing. If I had read those before I wouldn't have even bothered responding to this thread. Hawks or Knicks. End of story.

who cares if im slightly of. he has what amounts to the back end of an MLE--thats a very reasonable $

the bottom line is a deal of stackhouse and thr atlanta#1 pick is better than any trade we can come up with. if stackhouse went to Charlotte for drobnjak and thr trade exmptions went to GS with a number 1 pick -we have nothing light years near that. We do have the MLE but the more I read the more I believe that the demand for Dampier is great enough that trading for the trade exemptions could be a realistic scenario in an S+T with GS.

They could also give GS Laetner 3MM$ and a number 1 pick from Atlanta for Dampier. We have no ending contracts no picks to compete with something like this. Everything I have read Dallas wants Dampier and I think they have the inside tract on different deals.

You completely made something up and you were called on it. Enough already. Give it up. The more you talk about it the worse you make yourself look.

this might be OT considering the recent talk...

According to a league source, the Cavaliers have targeted Iakovos Jake Tsakalidis to be their backup center behind starter Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
The 7-foot-2, 285-pounder is a restricted free agent. The Grizzlies hold his rights, but would like to use him and power forward Stromile Swift, another restricted free agent, in a sign-and-trade with Golden State for Dampier.

BTW - Are you the same Andrew Martin that wrestles in the WWE as "Test"? If so, you're the man! You're girlfriend is hotter than a forest fire!

Haha....Andrew Martin = 2 people....Andrew & Martin.

how does Dal have a trade exception? They took back equal salary in Henderson and Terry.

Also Dallas just traded for Booth in a move thats a roster balance. They now have Bradley and Booth, two excellent shot blockers to play the 5. Not bad when you look at the rest of the roster.

I do agree that Dampier is worth more then the MLE, and Mem easily has the best pieces. I would have thought they would have done something already. The Brian Cardinal signing just makes me shake my head.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Briggs logic, otherwise known as "W.A.S"

Wild Ass Guesses!!!!

Briggs follows basketball the way some us follow baseball or football. When you are familiar with the available talent, and the needs team have, educated guesses often turn out to be correct.

Some of us predicted the A-Rod for Soriano trade last November. Same thing.

I'd like to add that Briggs predicted Amare would be the steal of the draft two years ago, and he was on target.

Praise briggs ? come on, if you post 1000 trade proposals and change your mind 10 times a day, the law of averages tells us that you're bound to be true one day.

Praise Mullin ? Come on, that guy was playing poker with four aces in his hand. Even he couldn't wreck that.

Good call Briggs. This guy is one of the best posters here because he knows his hoops and generates good discussion. He kicks out a lot of ideas.. some great, some are pretty whacked. Sometimes he's wrong, other times he nails. Either way when Briggs talks about a player I pay closer attention to that player and thats the biggest compliment I can give him.

Some of the guys Briggs has loved...
Shareef (remember the weekly get Reef post? Still think he's softer than an overcooked spud)
Amare (nailed it... stud)
Mihm (stiff)
Wade (stud)
James Lang (flopped)
Sweetney (the Knicks MUST draft Mike Sweetney.. this was in midseason) Good call
Rapheal Araujo (jury's out bigtime... Briggs loved him, people killed this pick)

When it gets really slow we could write the highs and lows of Brigg's predictions. Dampier being at the top...

good job on this one kid
