I appreciate it. Its not my fault tho. I mean come on how easy would it have been to make a trade. Anyway Amare is out for the rest of the regular season now with a severe eye injury.

Can't say I blame them. Luckily they will be way under the cap this summer so not only can they sign free agents but can absorb other players' contract. Remember what happened when Denver gave away Camby to LAC. Yeah, the Pistons didn’t make any moves. Can’t say I blame them.

He's a great defensive presence why not try to pick him up and then try to get another free agent big man in 2010? Dont know if it's possible or why it wouldn't work. Let me know.

I mean, when healthy, he can be a consistent 20/10 every single night. However, I just don't trust his injury history nor his character. Steve: I love David Lee. I hope his sudden nightly double/double's aren't a direct result of playing under Mike D'Antoni and more of a reflection of a player just finally getting playing time. Thing is, I wouldn't want to pay Lee $10+ mil a year either. As for Odom: he can be good, REALLY good, when motivated. However, I don't want another Sheed who plays good when the moment hits him.

NY is so focused on 2010 that they won't/can't afford to pay him $10+ million a year for 4-5 years or so. Odom....that's interesting. Never really thought about him before. I think that depends on how Bynum is when he comes back. And I think a run can be made for Bosh over the summer or beginning of next season, hopefully. TADOne,

I dont want Boozer he is so injury prone its not even funny. I would go for Artest, David Lee, or Odom. I really like Odom. He's talented and finally started to figure out he can dominate on the boards as evidenced by his recent play after Bynum has went down. The cap room is key.

Yes, if the Suns are still interested in trading Amare before Thursday because they are losing money, then I will be on here tomorrow to praise your genious. However....... ...if this doesn't happen, let's look at options for all of this money coming off the books: Trades: Bosh(if he is truly fed up), Amare(we won't have any trade options left), Brand(see both above). Free Agents: Boozer(um, not a fan, but may not have another option), Millsap(restricted; have to see which way Utah goes), Artest(did hell freeze over?), Marvin Williams(either him or Tay have to move to PF so no), David Lee(would love to have him, but he is restricted and the Knicks won't let him leave), Lamar Odom(only if he is cheap). Anyway, there are names i'm purposely leaving out because they don't matter. Discuss.... Ok John, i’ll bite.

Hopefully Dumars has a great plan for all that money. Well one good thing is that with all these other trades, Detroit is now the clear-cut leader in cap space this summer by far.

Do they do anything worth noting? Probably not. After getting beat by the Bucks, (THE BUCKS? Really?) I almost think that this season is a lost cause.
