what would OKC want? draft picks, prospects...

 

collison seems like a guy who would have a resurrection if he came here. imagine him next to dwight, shard at the three, turk off the bench manu style with pietrus locking down the other teams best wing player, and jameer doing what he do...

 

well considering that they wanted an expiring and 2 first rounders for Kurt Thomas, I could only imagine what they want for Collison, Smith or Wilcox...

 

They got one 1st round pick for Thomas last year.

 

that's what they got, but in terms of dealing with Orlando, that's not what they wanted from us, they wanted 2 firsts and an expiring, according to reports...least we forget Presti's ties to SAS...last season was the year of sweet heart deals...even though that's still a lot of KT...

For the record, that is 9 (10 if they sign Krstic) bigs to fill up a 15 man roster. Yeesh.

very true...they don't call them highlights for nothing...to be fair though, Hill was ranked amongst the top defenders in college basketball not long ago so he's not a total waste of a prospect IMO...

Let me turn this discussion a hair. Is Kristic worth that kind of money and should Otis have taken a chance on him? Before his injury a while back, he was considered an up and coming big.... I even recall some in the media saying he would become an all-star. Thoughts?

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

I dont think he is, he declined hard core after that injury...3 years 16m is a big contract IMO for a player that hasn't really played significant NBA minutes in a while and hasnt produced many results, not to mention a player that suffered a pretty serious injury...seems very high risk to me...

Good point. I think he'll be worth it, but why would the Magic pay someone starter money to come off the bench? That wouldn't make sense.

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

with all the Nenad stuff going on, apparently there are talks of OKC buying out Joe Smith instead of trading him which I find really interesting...one bright light in him being waived, we don't have to worry about him signing with Boston, he absolutely hates KG...but that would be a very solid signing for us, especially if we can spare him until the playoffs...not that I think we end up signing him, but still...

[Soul Bro 1,419]

I tend to agree with you, rtillaree. That's a lot of jack for a player with questionable health. Yet looking at LA and Boston, I still think we're a tough PF away from really competing in a 7 game series. The JJ and Fran mis-picks (if I can make up a word) are the difference between those two top teams and us right now.

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

especially when you consider he's only putting up 12ppg right now in the Russian league...c'mon now...

[Soul Bro 1,419]

Pre-injury, he was averaging 16 and 7 with a PER right around 17. My how quickly things can change.

 

For the record, I'd be okay with Collison as long as we shed some weight.

i dont think we need another big, why not get a better backup PG and let Gortat be the backup big?

 

We bring in collison and gortat is as good as gone after this season.
