Windhorst on Trade Possibilities (Tues., Feb. 17)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Windy wrote that a 3 team deal broke down at the last second two years ago. What was that deal? Thanks!
 
This is starting to get very depressing. What do we have 47.5 hours left? Come on Ferry.
 
We need a big. Jamison, Camby, someone..even Brad Miller at this point. We don't have Joe Smith to fall back on as an option anymore.

I really don't like the idea of getting Jamison. He is a step up from Wally, but he is not really a big and his contract will eat up too much cap space in 2010. Camby is the only option that I can see happening since it appears that the Amare stuff is done.
 
I would love butler if we could get him for wally and a first. If they want hickson its a no go for me.
 
From what Silk just posted.....

With Amar'e Stoudemire unlikely to be dealt before Thursday's trading deadline, the next-biggest thing is being attempted by the Cleveland Cavaliers -- a surprise move at acquiring All-Star forward Antawn Jamison from the Washington Wizards.

A deal for Jamison is far from being completed, according to league sources who described the Wizards as reluctant to move a team leader. The sources considered the proposal a sign that the Cavaliers have become more aggressive in trying to improve at the deadline for a title push this spring.

The Cavaliers have talked to the Wizards about offering Wally Szczerbiak's expiring $13.8 million salary as payroll relief for the 32-year-old Jamison, who is on the books for $50 million through 2011-12. Jamison is averaging 21.4 points and 9.1 rebounds this season, and he would be a lethal scoring threat off the bench for Cleveland in an anticipated conference final against the defending champion Boston Celtics.

A move like this -- a championship contender adding a two-time All-Star scorer and rebounder without touching the top seven players in its rotation - would be the closest thing to a blockbuster in this year's trading-deadline market. Jamison would put enormous pressure on the Celtics, whose front line has already been challenged by the departures of James Posey and P.J. Brown.

"If Cleveland can get Jamison, that will be a home run,'' said an Eastern Conference executive with knowledge of the talks. "Jamison would give them a big boost -- he can finish games with them, and he's a slasher who will get more open shots playing with LeBron. I think that would clinch [the NBA Finals] for them. Boston would have a tough time with them.''

To bring the salaries within 125 percent of each other, Cleveland would have to take on one or more additional players in exchange for Szczerbiak's expiring $13.8 million -- an expensive proposition for the Cavaliers, who would already be paying the luxury tax on Jamison's salary next season.

By clearing salary, the Wizards would position themselves to relaunch next season around their high lottery pick in this draft in addition to a healthy (or so they hope) Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler, who are both younger than 29. But in the midst of a 11-42 season, the Wizards appear disinclined to move Jamison, upon whom they are counting to lead them back into the playoffs next season.

I know his contract is big, but I don't care, I am not paying for it. I also don't buy into the hope for 2010 crap.

Jamison would become at least our 3rd best player, probably 2nd (at least offensively), and he would help us out a ton for at least the next 2 seasons.

He has the same numbers as Amare too at 21 and 9. I would love Jamison. I think his skillset would fit perfectly for us on offense.
 
Jamison is a big, he can definitely play the 4. A deal for Jamison would suck cap-wise, but talent-wise..we'd be favored...easily. Also remember this, he has owned L.A. both times Washington has played them...one time the Wiz actually almost won. His unique skill-set allows to attack the other big men, making them focus more and exert more defensive energy.
 
Jamison...???

He's super talented, but he's soft. He's scorer, but not the kind of scorer we need most. He's more of a SF to be honest. He can't score in the post and is more of a perimeter scorer. That said, if we can get him straight up for Wally, I'm all for it.

Most of what you said is true, but from what I have seen of him, he is actually really crafty and effective in the post.

Well if they get him, I hope you are right. I am just a dreamer and I want the Cavs to get Bosh next year(since he isn't available this year). A cap move like this would pretty much end that discussion.........I think.

I agree completely. I'm still holding out hope for Amare...but it's doubtful the Suns will take our offer. Jamison can put the ball in the basket. He's a flat out scorer. Which is what we need. We have our 2 defensive bigs, and then we would have Z and AJ for scoring. Look at what PJ Brown did last year for the C's...Even Sam Cassel's ugly ass could still play. Jamison will be old for his HUGE contract...but we're not paying it, so why complain? He'll still be a solid role player at the age of 35.
