its ok, it would cause a logjam at PF/SF. youd have KT,JYD,Ariza,TT, Penny,(maybe baker one day), and now kenny thomas all trying to get minutes. while i like getting dalembert this deal just doesnt make sense. plus i think philly might want a little more than just nazr for those players even if they dont fit into phillys scheme.
it depends on how they view Dalembert, but I wonder how high it could be as he had a monster finish last year but isnt getting any minutes this year.
As for the log jam any deal is going to create that, but I'm looking at letting TT and Penny just walk into the sunset and let their $$ come off the books. KennyT/Ariza is a nice fit at the 3. Both play hard on D, KT is great rebounder and has a nice midrange game and is cost effective. Ariza gives you the steals and attack the basket.
It gives you nice flexibility moving forward. Kenny is signed for 6 years but its not crazy money... its a good contract for a guy thats 27 and plays hard every night, gives you good production and is healthy. Dalembert has a monster upside and I would be willing to give them Houston's #2 if the need be.
Nazr would benefit from Iverson the same way he benefits from Marbury. I think its a pretty fair trade for both teams and both get things they need right now.
Heck.. maybe TT's agent thinks someone will give him their full MLE and we buy him out and save $10mm over the next 2 years. That would pay for Kenny Thomas right there
