Probably not this season, but he should be easy to move next season, as his salary will be coming off the books.
trade with toronto is not a bad one. they bring in some instant help.
just wondering, is it possible for them to just let spreewell's contract expire and steal michael redd from the bucks? wouldn't redd want a chance to contend for a title? a lot of teams will be going after him though... what about big Z? would he be willing to take a pay cut and move west?

It's been ten years, and I say if Michael Jordan chose to still play the game of basketball, he'd dominate.
They only way they can get Redd would be through a sign-and-trade. KG, Wally, Hudson, Olowokandi, and even Cassell are all still under contract for next season, leaving them about 8 mill over the salary cap.
I could see Portland doing a Wally for SAR, but not Spree. SAR and Spree both have expirering contracts. The only reason a team would really want to trade for Spree would be because of his expirering contract. By keeping SAR they still have an expirering contract and have a good chance to resign him. The only reason Portland was looking into trading SAR was because they didn't think they could resign him. Now it is looking like they can because SAR is fitting in and liking it there. I don't think they would want to resign Spree.

the reason they do the spree trade is because they need a 2g and they are both expriing contracts. They dont want to resign sar to another huge contract.

I pretty sure they do. Not to a huge contract, but they want to keep SAR.
