Grant Hill + Patrick Ewing
for
Latrell Sprewell + Othella Harrington

WHY NY DOES IT:
NY takes a gamble on Grant Hill (one of the best guards of our time). Pat Ewing as a backup for Camby. Hill if he returns (and he will) healthy WILL be better than Spree.

WHY ORLANDO DOES IT:
They have done without Hill since they got him. Plus Sprees contract expires in 3 years in comparisons to Hills 5 years. Hill is a SF just like Tracy they need a SG. Spree is healthy and Othella is great off the bench, plus Horace is retiring and they need more physical players (why the heck did they trade Outlaw). They werent going to resign Pat anyway. It take some of the guess work out of next season.

We can get more for sprwell, like Picks and younger cheaper unproven players with potential without the risk of Grant Hill and his bad ankles and Ewing and his bad everything....good try..

Falcindor: No I don't have it twisted Bro.. I know for a fact that spree has more value than a 30 year old guy with a 90 million dollar contract that hasn't played in 2 years and has a career threatining ankle injury!! Spree is in his prime a allstar calibre player and has a friendly contract that runs out in 2 years..teams LOve that and we can get value for that!! Screw Ricky Davis and Murray, I don'w want murray especially..He is a Bum!!! But you package spree along with another player like tothella and Kt and you can get a player and a mid to late 1st round pick.... I DON'T WANT GRANT HILL!!! Tell me why would you want to take a chance on a guy who's injury is that serious and he is making a mint, and might not ever play again... ??

If the best you can do for Spree is any of the above, then don't trade him.

If you trade him for a pick you also have to recieve 11mil in garbage contracts in return.

Why trade him for a pick? None of this makes any senes. Saying Grant Hill is one of the best guards of the time is incredible considering he's never won an NBA Finals, never been to the NBA Finals or Conference Finals, never won an MVP. Come on bro, you're dreaming.

In his time I meant. From when he came into the league he was maybe the 3 rd best player.

1. Jordan of course
2. Shaq
3. Hill


Out of sight, out of mind. We hardly seen him play in 3 years it hard for people to remember how good he is.

When he was on Detroit and when he was healthy he was playing like Jason Kidd, I remember all the triple doubles he would have...but I'm not sure if it's worth taking the risk with his health....

as much as i would love it if we could get grant... Do you really think that we would want to send Spree and orlando would want to send grant to another team in their division??? IF that trade did go through both players would have the potential to raise their games to another level. Spree would finally beable to play the 2 where he is one of the best sg's in the league. And before grant was injured he was one of if not the best player in the league, but his health is too big of a question mark for us to risk.

thats right but you want short term garbage contracts that expire soon clearing up cap space in a couple of years to try to go after the Duncan's and Garnetts... And the Pick..never underestimate the value of Picks especially 1st round picks. We need to get younger, more cap manageable and more talented!!!

Forget about free-agency until at least 2006. Unless we magically can get rid of Houston, Anderson and Eisley's contract...

True but you have to start somewhere, I am also assuming you can dump those long term deals with good players like Spree and Kt and Camby....
