Who's gonna take Hamilton's stupid contract?

...if you suggest the Raptors, I will throw up in my own mouth.

Why is it that Rodney Stuckey has this reputation as a bonafide point guard supreme of the future? Has anyone seen him play?

TONS of potential.


I'm pissed the Cavs let Charlie V get to the Pistons. The dude wanted to play for the cavs and he was a perfect fit.

Hamilton only has one year on his contract and it's for 11 million. Everyone who is not contending this season wants that contract.

If Bosh decides he won't resign with Toronto, they'd love to take Rip's contract, Jason Maxiell and a 1st rounder for him.

Utah also might want it if they decide to dump Boozer and resign Okur and Milsap this year.

As for Stuckey, he has great potential, but he is not even close to a PG and is one of the worst perimeter defenders in the NBA to start last season. I'm not sure except to say Joe Dumars envisions him as a PG\SG lead guard combo much like he himself was in the 90's.

Hamilton was given a 3 year extension last November, with the 3rd year being only partially guaranteed. He's not an expiring contract.

Rip, Maxiell, and a 1st rounder for Chris Bosh? Colangelo can't be that dumb.

Boozer and Okur took their player options for this upcoming season. I've heard the Boozer for Hamilton deal rumored and, if so, then the Pistons should obviously do it. I don't see what's in it for the Jazz, though. Taking Hamilton doesn't help them keep Millsap - they'd have to trade Boozer straight into someone's cap space.

I like Stuckey's game, kinda. I completely agree with you, though, he's not a PG. At all.

You're right, I didn't realize that. Had this seasons media guide must have been printed before the contract.

Toronto would probably want Prince. The only reason they should trade Bosh is if he tells them he won't resign. At that point, people will not be willing to give up as much knowing they'll have a chance to sign him in the off-season.

The Boozer thing might still work. The Jazz want to avoid paying too much in the Luxury Tax and Okur and Millsap will both come cheaper then Boozer from what I've seen and 11 million for Hamilton is a good deal if you think his game fits with your team. Hamilton instead of Boozer saves them as much as 5-6 million dollars.

I think combined salaries have to match within 10% or something like that for a trade to be allowed, so Utah would probably want expiring contracts or long term deals for players they like.

So, Artest to Lakers. Looks like Mitch got scared by the other contenders moves and pulled the trigger. I think this makes the Lakers that much better than Cleveland, Artest is probably the only guy in the league who can really slow down LBJ. Deal isn't finalized yet, but Artest has confirmed that it's almost done. At 6 million it seems like a real bargain for LA.

The prospect of Artest, Kobe and Arizia Defending the perimeter is pretty extraordinary.
