Headache in a Suitcase said:this is a great trade... for orlando.
it's not terrible for detroit... cato's contract is up at the end of the year... but they're going to use the 8 million in savings that they get from losing cato to give a 12 million dollar per year contract to a man who can't score, ben wallace... and to extend chauncey billups contract long term... so next year detroit will have 60-70 million dollars invested in their starting lineup alone, leaving them with an aging team, zero cap flexability and no first round draft pick. i do believe i saw this movie once before... around the late 90s... aging eastern conference powerhouse built on defense starts adding money to the cap while losing draft picks... hmmm... where did i see that before...
orlando, if this trade does indeed go through, now adds a 20 year old center... again, darko is only 20 years old... who's shown an ability to block shots, and actually has a decent shooting percentage when they let him play, and putting him next to a man-beast in dwight howard, who will get every rebound and handle the scoring load down low, allowing darko to run the pick and roll with jameer nelson... or if he does, in fact, suck, they just get rid of him after next season, at the same time that grant hill's 13.5 million... the summer of 2007, which just happens to be the same season that lebron james, dwayne wade, carmello anthony and chris bosh become free agents for the first time.
now if only they can get rid of stevie the franchise killer, to some desperate team who's always looking to take on bums with bad contracts... hmmm... a desperate team looking to take on bums with bad contracts... where have i seen one of them before...
the summer of 2007 is sizing up to be a bidding war, with chicago, orlando and charlotte the leaders in the clubhouse, cap flexability wise... here are some of the free agents in 2007, with their current stats and how old they'll be in the summer of '07

sf, andres nocioni- 11.8ppg, 5.1rpg - 28 years old

The New York Knickets?
Curry/Frye
Kristic/Lee
Carter/Jefferson
Marbury/Crawford
Kidd/McInnis/Nate
And then after that the Lakers and Clippers could merge...
The Los Angeles Lakippers
Kaman/Mihm
Brand/Radman/Kwame
Odom/Maggette
Kobe/Mobley
Cassell/Livingston
Hindsight being 20-20, it's impossible to claim that the Pistons made the right decision when they chose the 18-year-old 7-footer from Serbia.

"We could really use him,. That kid can play. Too bad he can't suit up tonight."

I'm actually a huge Nash fan (hence the 13 in imp13) and I still wear my Dallas Nash shirts from time to time. One is the t shirt that is in the style of the home jersey, and the other is blue with a weird, distorted photo of him and "Stevie Wonder" printed across the front.

LemonMacPhisto said:The most surprising team for me this season was the Mavs, after seeing Dirk chew out half of the team in last year's playoffs I thought they'd stop trying to play with him or something as bad. And look at them now, they have a pretty good chance of getting the 1st seed in the Western Conference
My most disappointing teams have either been the Magic (my hometown team) or Golden State. Both have lots of talent on their teams killed by horrible "combo-guards", chronically injured vets with huge contracts, and mediocre coaching

I grew up all around Florida (West Palm, Boyton Beach, Daytona, Marco Island, born in Naples) and I've always liked the Magic. I used to go to games back in the Shaq days with one of my dad's business buddy's, so I got to have floor seats a lot, which is a big thrill when you're like 7 or whatever I was then.
Hell, it's a big thrill now. I had floor tickets for a Mavs preseason game against Detroit in October and it was incredible (Mavs won, by the way.)
