Damn! That sure is something... and after that milestone, Kobe finally confirmed the teams that he
would have wanted to be traded to:
Knicks, Bulls, Mavs and Suns.
THE LATEST:
HEAT-GRIZZLIES
Desperate to give Dwyane Wade a long-distance shooter on the perimeter, where Miami misses
Jason Kapono and James Posey, the Heat is looking at making a deal for Memphis'
Mike Miller. With
Alonzo Mourning suffering what figures to be a career-ending knee injury, the Heat might also try to expand the deal to include
Stromile Swift.
>>> What I'm seeing here on this probable trade would be
2 expiring contracts on Alonzo Mourning and Jason Williams for the deal to work in getting Miller and Swift. This would work indeed well for both teams.
Memphis - 2 expiring contracts
Miami - a shooter and a young PF/C with 2 years and 1 year left on their contract, respectively.
JASON KIDD
Rumors around the Internet have sprouted in a probable transaction that will involve the Cavs and Nets about
Jason Kidd going to the Cavs in exchange for a
player, expiring contracts and a draft pick.
>>>Cavs have a player and a draft pick but they don't have expiring contracts except for Shannon Brown ($1million) and Ira Newble ($3.4million).
Aside from the Cavaliers, the Nuggets are also interested in getting Jason Kidd to let Iverson concentrate on scoring. Sources have indicated a possible trade that will include JR Smith and Linas Kleiza.
Let's see:
Jason Kidd: $19,728,000 for this season and $21,372,000 next season while:
JR Smith and Linas Kleiza combines $10million in their deals, which would mean a Nugget with a hefty salary would be included, among them Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby and Nene Hilario.
HAWKS
Speedy Claxton, who signed a four-year deal worth $25 million with the Atlanta Hawks in July 2006 and is facing microfracture surgery,
will miss the rest of the season due to an injury to his left knee according to a published report.
Claxton is "contemplating his next step" and hasn't made a decision about whether or not he will have the surgery that could help extend his career the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The injury
could mean he's played his last game in the NBA.
