It was alot of rumor floating around that Allen was being traded, but not confirmed to who or for what.

And the other one made you horny.

That's called a dilemma.

It's technically The Sound of Silence, but whatever.

In some ways those low priced partially guaranteed contracts hurt you. You are still on the hook for part of that contract, and then you have to pick up another contract to fill out the roster. A few hundred grand here and a few there, and you might as well have held onto a decent NBA player because you aren't saving any real money.

Hopefully Hammond has someone else in mind to fill out the roster.

oLd sKool

We won't need to replace Allen/Weems with anyone.
Redd, Bogut, Gadz, Amir Johnson, Kurt Thomas, Bell, Alexander, Elson, Mbah A Moute, Jennings, Meeks, Ersan, Sessions.

There's 13 players right there. Minimum roster requirements met. I prefer if the Bucks don't carry more than 13 players anyway. If they want more than 13 players, Trade Ridnour for two players who combined make less than he does.

Now it looks like we can and will match on the surface. We already knew it was possible to match in reality, but perception is important in this situation also.

Plus, he acquired the space in the form of an unguaranteed deal, so he could always sell to the public that they liked Weems too much, to justify waiving him and clearing the space to re-sign Sessions. Weems isn't a bad player, nice to have a swingman with actual size. GAD won't allow those rationalizations though.

Correct. I'd waive him as soon as the ink is dry on this trade

J Smitty wrote:Does this deal even work financially? With Weems making only 700k and Malik 1.3 mill....it doesn't seem like the salaries would be close enough. I tried it on the ESPN trade machine and it said the trade was 280k off.

Denver would use part of one of it's TPEs.
Probably part of the Camby TPE, since it expires on November 3rd.

ESPN's trade machine doesn't factor that in?
RealGM's trade checker does. Try trading Dan Gadzuric for Sonny Weems. It will congratulate you on a successful scenario

Helluva trade by Hammond.

Why would anyone post a fake trade about taking Malik Allen of all people.. sounds legit to me.

Phase Two of Project Mayhem?

You are mistaken

I wasn't going to watch the video, because I would have felt wrong watching a video someone filmed of her through a peephole she didn't know about... but once I found out that the video made it really seem that she at least knew someone was watching her, if not recording her. That changes things

Are you trying to trick us into thinking you have a bonus minute?

Completely agree

adamcz wrote:So will Brandon Jennings meet any of the players who changed our culture?

Perhaps we had a documentary film crew following them around last year, and if Jennings just watches those videos, it will be sufficient for his culture to change as well

It would be very unfortunate if this trade did not end up occurring.
But, as a consolation, without this rumor, I would not have watched that Erin Andrews video tonight.

Pretty sure it's Sounds.

back to the most important part of the Malik Allen trade, which is clearly the EA video . . . .

My buddy from PDX put me on that term. He says it instead of saying bitch. Example: Man it's hotter than a beagle out here!

I think it will happen. It's not like a rumor of a Malik Allen trade is something anyone would get fired up about discussing. At this point, I'd be surprised if didn't go through.

As far as the video, if I had hypothetically watched it, I might hypothetically comment about how fascinating it was to count the number of times she checked out her ass in the mirror.

Again, if I had watched it.

Well whatever it is, I'm just glad I could remind PP of a time before he collected social security. It was only two years before he started collecting it, but it reminds him of his younger years and a simpler time. :wink:
