Put it this way: It hit the fan yesterday. Trades and signings were going down left and right. ...
We're huge fans of Chris Mullin, and we'd like to defend him the best we can, but some of his moves are more than questionable. He's made some good moves (drafting Andris Biedrins) and some bad moves (backing up the truck for Derek Fisher, letting Brian Cardinal walk). But yesterday, we think he made a solid move, dealing Nick Van Exel to Portland for Dan Dickau and Dale Davis. We back Nick all the way, but he's older, his knees are creaky and he still makes a lot of money. Dickau will be the third point guard behind Speedy and Fish, and Dale will be a solid front liner (even though he's coming off his worst season as a pro). Mullin may have made another move later in the day. More on that in a minute. ...

The Sixers traded Eric Snow to Cleveland for Kevin Ollie and Kedrick Brown. Yes, Snow's older, his skills are diminishing and he has a long-term contract, but Billy King couldn't get better than this? There are a lot of teams that could use a solid point guard (Houston?). We were thinking that because Philly now has some extra cash and way more contracts than their roster can hold, another, bigger move must be on the way right?

(Then we heard that San Francisco sports radio was reporting that the Sixers and Warriors were going to pull off a sign-and-trade that would send Erick Dampier to Philly for Glenn Robinson and Kyle Korver. )


That would be a great move for Philly, and before you kill Mully for it, think about what Golden State would get out of the deal. Even though they lose a lot of height, they get a scorer in Big Dogg (when he feels like it) a shooter in Korver, and Dogg is in the last year of his contract. That's a better deal than the garbage package that Isiah is reportedly offering of Nazr Mohammaed and Othella Harrington. ...

Greg Ostertag signed with the Kings. ...

There was an unbelievable photo and caption in the Toronto Star yesterday. Here's the caption: "A security guard acts as a buffer for Vince Carter, in car, as the Raptor prepares to leave his basketball camp yesterday in Scarborough." Who was mobbing Vince so badly that he needed his security to act as a buffer? The photo was of a diesel security guy "protecting" Vince from two very little kids. Outside of his camp. For little kids. ...

If you haven't seen the clips of Shaq's introduction to Miami yesterday, sit your *** in front of a TV until they show them again (or check them out right HERE). There were super soakers, tractor trailers, he talked about running naked on the beach and he compared himself to toilet paper. And those were just a few of the highlights. ...

A blurb in a Denver paper noted that Nikoloz Tskitishvili was given a night off from the Nuggets' summer league squad the other night. What? From a summer-league game? The guy's taken the last two years off. He needs all the work he can get. ...

We're out like Vince and little kids.

That is a lot better than the new york offer.

Believe it or not, I would prefer Nazr Mohammed and Harrington over Glenn Robinson and Kyle Korver even after we got Dale Davis.

Robinson has a bad rep of 'locker-room poison' because he always whined about playing time. I am not sure he could find enough playing time because he is strictly a one-position player and there's Mike Dunleavy, Mickael Pietrus, and even JRich eyeing for minutes at 3. He is also a 20-ppg scorer who let his counterparts score 30 points every night.

Kyle Korver would be quite a useless throw-in consider the depth we would have at 2/3 if this trade goes down.

No matter which players NY want to trade, they all are overpaid, overestimated and old players
So i guess no team can do a worst offer than New York.

In the end, Dampier will probably be overpaid too and live on this new contract like he did with the his last. So you better take the best offer and now that you have Davis and Foyle there is no need for Mohammed + filler. And Big Dog can still do some damages when he feels like it, so i'll take that deal over the NY one in a heartbeat.

Sixers would have way too many big men, I think Dalembert is a great fit at the 5 spot for them right now, no need to bring in more money and lose their big expiring contract.

[sheefo13]

no point for the sixers. they have dalembert, jackson. no room for dampier. They better try to hold on to big dogg because from what i have seen, iguodala is horrible.

[mavsman]

If they make the trade for Dampier than I suspect that a trade
with the Mavericks could happen soon afterword. The rumour is
that the Sixers want Walker so they could send either Dalembert
and some bad contracts or Dampier to Dallas for Walker.

To make it work with Dalembert would take something like:

Dalembert
McCullough
Coleman or McKie or Thomas or Jackson or Skinner
Buckner

Some combo which would make it work under the CBA.

The other option would be to package Dampier with a Buckner or
Ollie or Brown.

Either way I can't see them doing it unless they plan to move one
of the big guys afterword.

we are similar.
As Paul Allen said "Knicks have nothing to offer us"

Overpaid + over-estimated + old = below zero
