Chad Ford trade idea

[seelenjaeger]

Why would Chicago want to part with Jay?

Because they already have Jamal and Hinrich. They didn´t draft Hinrich for nothing. They´d try to get rid of Jay as soon as possible if they only find a taker.

Why I´d take Fizer+Robinson+Trade Exception over Rose?

Because Rose is an idiot, and you can package the Trade Exception with one of our dumpies for another player. In addition, you save money.

In addition:

You take some gamble on Jay. If he gets healthy again, hooray, you solved the backup and prolly the heritage issue on Nash. If not - you might not have to worry about his money, since it would either come off the books fast or would be paid by the insurance (or maybe even Williams himself, depending how his legal issues work out).
