NY trades Mike Sweetney, Tim Thomas No. 8 pick- Receive Primoz Brezec and No. 3 Pick.
That makes ZERO sense. Cha trades the better player in Primo for Sweetney and $13mm of crappy SF. On top of it they move down 5 spots where instead of a shot at sure fire franchise talent they join the crapshoot that makes up the late lottery. How about Ariza, pick 8, pick 30 and Spurs 06 #1 for the #3. Thats more realistic. Look at recent drafts.. your talking about a chance to draft guys like Wade and Carmelo vs. drafting guys like Wilcox, Sweetney and Jarvis Hays.
big difference.
Fish, i dont agree with you here. TT gives them a legit option outside of OK4. It firms up their SF position with Wallace playing a little SG as well. Emeka can do just as well at the C, just like Big Ben. And my main point, if they think they can get Paul at the 8, then they save some money there as well.
To be fair though, i like your idea about Trev, and i would take the 12 and include Ariza, much as i like his Airness.
That means were giving away TT, Sweets and Ariza for Brezec and the 12. Pick up Webster or Warrick there, and it makes sense.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?
