Yeah I thought of that…I thought JRichs was more along the 12 million dollar line in 2010 but even so, 6 million is offset by the Curry deal, we can still sign two max contracts and we have a star shooting guard to make the team more enticing. At 15 a season though, that definitely could be the reason though.

I think they may have been able to get JRich, but didnt want his contract(due $15 mill in 2010 vs. $9 mill for Diaw). That would be the only explanation I can think of.

This is just why it doesn’t make sense to me:

If Lee and Curry can get us Raja Bell and Boris Diaw, and Raja Bell and Boris Diaw were just traded for Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley, and a 2nd rounder, why didnt we just trade for Jason Richardson who fits the system perfectly? Especially with a huge hole at the 2 guard, I mean, the guy seems to me like the perfect offensive complement for Duhon. 6′6 Guard who runs the floor jumps high and nails the three? Good for 20 points a game? He’d light up the Garden. The only catch is we would need to sign someone of the scrap to get some minutes at center, or involve another team and get a decent big for dudley and some parts from both teams for some height.

But what can you do, the team looks great, I personally dont think it’s wise to trade Lee at this point anyway. If we do though, I hope its not for Raja Bell and Boris Diaw.

Hmmm… Interesting trade possibility. I like the idea of getting rid of Curry. And I don’t really care to much for the prospect of paying Lee 12+ million a year. I like the trade in terms of it giving us more financial flexibility. I just wonder if we could get more help in the short term than just those two players for a proven and rising star like lee. I really like the idea of including Morrison or Carroll on that agenda.

One thing that doesn’t quite fit is that Bell seems to fit Brown’s style to a T. Why would he want to jettison him? If He wasn’t included, Morrisson, Carroll and Diaw for Curry, Lee and Rose works unde the cap. Not sure if that;s the best trade you can find with Lee included, but it looks decent to me on paper. Neither one is shooting all that well this season, but I watch the bobcats quite regularly and they always seem to be shooting off balance with 2 secs left on the shot clock (like Q and Stardiedandburied did for Brown). You would basically get 3 players for 1, and although you would take on some salary for 2010, they would be the type of role players you would want if you can sign a few stars. just a thought.

I know that this is off topic, but I was just reading Julius Hodge’s blog on HoopsHype.com. I agree that he is probably number 27 on Donnie’s list, but I think that we should give him some serious thought. Read below and you’ll see why I was encouraged…

“I just played against the Melbourne Tigers. We played really well, we battled hard, my mid-range jumper was working and we got a tough win.

Most importantly, my mindset while I’m playing here in Australia is that I look at the games to get a little more than the 25 points, double-digit rebounds and ten assists every game. My whole focus is not to drink the poison. I’m not going be the guy that drinks the poison. When I say that, I mean I’m not resting on my laurels, believing I’m really that good and I don’t have to continue to work hard and improve every day.

I’m out here working extremely hard before and after the game, before and after practice. I stay after every game and I make sure I do my five-spot shooting for about 40 minutes and then I lift weights for another 40 minutes.

Despite suffering a pair of narrow losses, I’ve averaged 26.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals and I was named NBL’s Player of the Week.”

Problem with this trade is Raja Bell got traded to the Charlotte Bobcats two weeks ago.

Lets rename the Team the NY Suns. Why get rid of Lee, he has gotten better and better every year. Not a fan of this deal!
Iam a fan of getting rid of Curry though!

I know that Diaw had a good game last night for the Cats. I know that he thrived under Coach Mike. I know all that.

But if Walsh trades Lee for him, he is absolutely nuts.

Watching last night’s game, who was in battling for all the rebounds? At times it was 3 on 1….

Lee is a double-double man. There are not many of them out there. Like his game or not, he produces.

Diaw makes about 9 mill per year for the next few years. I think that if Walsh wanted him, he would have gotten him by now.

I am all in on Bell. If we can work out a deal with Curry for Bell and one other player, then go for it.
