I hope the EC team is Atlanta. Vescey mentioned them as in the hunt. If they re-sign Walker (which they should), then Al Harrington is a bit redundant. He could be the main course in a BD trade.

I can see a Dale Davis + Christian Laettner's contract/Mickael Pietrus/Mike Dunleavy (either or) + 2005 1st rounder for Baron Davis + Lee Nailon.
LV: Yeah, you're right.
Let me get this straight. Trading Baron Davis for Dale "75-year-old" Davis, Mike "I was only productive at Duke" Dunleavy, and draft pick or two??? Very obvious that this would be a "dump Baron for cap room" move. And with the bad luck and horrendous past our professional teams in New Orleans have had concerning bringing in "Superstar Free Agents" over the years, I seriously doubt our Front Office will be able to compete with the rest of the NBA. No matter what anyone says, "Superstars" do want to go to some what of a possible winning organization. Although money is what makes the world turn, I just have a horrible feeling that no one is going to sign here no matter what contracts we are capable of offering. So for every true Hornets fan, I desperately hope the Hornets wait until the offseason for a SERIOUS TRADE OFFER for BD, or simply don't move him at all.
They do that a lot on ESPN, they add stuff on to their stories as other plots develop.Quote:

Ball: Tell me who'll want Baron Davis. It won't make a difference if it's now or in the offseason, just that his stock will decrease more.
I never said anything about New Jersey. I don't know anything about a deal with them...Quote:

I never mentioned them. Where did you hear that?Quote:

You can take him and let Dickau go, or you are free to pass on him if there is a big man you really like.
Let's take this out further. So he doesn't get moved this season. Given his history this year, let's assume that he doesn't play all of the remaining games, but we'll give him credit for playing some of them (since he has played some thus far). Now it's the end of the season. Now what? Why would we get a serious trade offer at the end of the season v. now? We are not the desperate team right now because we are not in contention for anything. What is going to change at the end of the season to make BD more attractive to other teams ? The fact that he might get well? That's how this season started. I suspect the Hornets started to look into dealing him when his agent came out and said that it might be best for Baron to move on. I don't see the difference between now or the end of the season. I don't expect him to turn it around over the next 7 weeks or so. And then if we don't deal him at all, what then? What will we have? Do we have a guy who we hope comes back and plays healthy, just like we have been hoping every year? Will his attitude change for the better? I don't see any of that happening. I wish I did. I am not anti-BD, but reality is what it is. Where would you go? What's your vision?Quote:

Baron and Lynch for Speedy, Dale Davis, and Mickael Pietrus works on realgm.com.
I would prefer Pietrus to Dunleavy personally. I'm not impressed with Dunleavy's game.
If we can deal Baron and Mash for Davis and Robinson we will have LOADS of money to spend.
There are no FAs out there worth signing to MAX deals imo this summer. But with the cap room, you can re-sign Dickau for a reasonable price, extend Nachbar and maybe get a couple of mid-level guys while still being majorly under the cap.
Then in 06 you go after one of the big boys.
What is Harrington's contract like? He might be a nice fit considering the poor guy has played with the league's wort PGs this season and that ball hog Walker. I just don't want him if he's got big money for too long.
The key to either deal is getting either Atlanta's or the Warriors' No. 1. I doubt it will be this year if we get it though but probably a few years down the road considering they are both awful.
The good news about this is that in a few years, they will still be awful, so the pick will be nice.
this trade also works btw:
New Orleans trades: PG Baron Davis (19.7 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 7.3 apg in 33.8 minutes)
SF George Lynch (4.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 2.3 apg in 23.7 minutes)
New Orleans receives: C Dale Davis (3.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.6 apg in 16.0 minutes)
PG Derek Fisher (12.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 4.1 apg in 29.8 minutes)
SG Mickael Pietrus (8.2 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.2 apg in 19.4 minutes)
Change in team outlook: -0.2 ppg, +1.0 rpg, and -3.7 apg.
Golden State trades: C Dale Davis (3.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.6 apg in 16.0 minutes)
PG Derek Fisher (12.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 4.1 apg in 29.8 minutes)
SG Mickael Pietrus (8.2 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.2 apg in 19.4 minutes)
Golden State receives: PG Baron Davis (19.7 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 7.3 apg in 33.8 minutes)
SF George Lynch (4.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 2.3 apg in 23.7 minutes)
Change in team outlook: +0.2 ppg, -1.0 rpg, and +3.7 apg.
NO Fisher! I despise him for that .4 second game winning shot!
Derek Fisher??? And his 6+ million dollar a year deal for 5 more years??? No way!

I liked Mullin as a player but he's the worst GM in the NBA. Well, Babcock is a close second.
He signed Fisher and freaking Foyle to huge deals. Why?
Please please do not take on Fisher's contract.
Cann we please get Jason Richardson????
Relax, I doubt Fisher would be part of the deal. It should be somewhat obvious that a trade with GS would probably be for the point of clearing cap space. I just don't see the Hornets bringing on more bad contracts. Fisher is not involved. $.03
If we tell you we'd have to...Quote:

I am 99.99% sure we are getting Claxton. Not Fisher.Quote:
