Trading Day.
Trades galore today in the NBA, with C-Webb off to Philly, 'Toine back in Boston(?!), Baron in Golden State, Big Dog to N'Orleans, Van Horn in Dallas, and the Knicks...well, they picked up Malik Rose, Mo Taylor, and a couple of picks, which, well, probably isn't going to get the job done. But, then again, we didn't give up much either (Nazr, Vin Baker, and Moochie). I'm just glad I'm not writing the checks.
hey kevin-
what's your feelings on the knicks trade? seems to me they went sideways... i'm not sure at all what danny is doing with the celtics. thankfully toine's contract is up at the end of the year, but my guess is that payton contributed more to that team than toine will. maybe the idea is to get one of the young guys experience at the point and see if he can handle it in a relatively low-pressure setting.
Sideways is about right...I really don't think Maurice Taylor and Malik Rose are going to make any kind of difference. At least we picked up some draft picks.
Word is, Payton's going to get bought out by the Hawks and return to the Jeterceter anyway. (Speaking of which, so much for the Welsch Era.)
if that happens, the celts made a good deal... antoine can at least score, he could pick up some slack from pierce for two months. i guess they gave up on jiri. i thought he was kind of promising... who knows.
