RE:Legitimate Trade with Utah
No way I would take back Okur...he is horrible. Plus I want to keep Stack. He is a slasher who draws fouls. We need that on this team.
On the other hand, the proposed deal I said after grndmstr_c told me that Lopez wants a buyout was to put Harpring IN the trade. That makes the numbers work and removes the issue of having Kirlilenko and Harping (3-4 guys) and adding VanHorn.
Dallas sends
JT (7 mil) and VanHorn (15 mil) = 22 million
Utah sends
Harpring (5 mil) and #6 pick
Utah is under the cap by about 12 million I think. Utah can replace Harpring with Van Horn who has a better all around game and is an icon in Utah from his college days there. In turn, they can resign him after the season if they want, or use him as trade bait for a team looking to dump cap space. If additional filler is needed to make it work, Evan Eschmeyer or Tariq Abdul Wahad's contracts could be dealt. Esch is retired because of injury so his money comes off the books this year and TAW's deal is only partially guaranteed over the next 2 years and is paid by insurance because he can't play.
