I’d be willing to throw in any one of your bigs with the exception of Boozer in with Evans to try and get Deron Williams. Not sure who your trade partner would particularly covet, although I’d probably to move Robin Lopez or Channing Frye first, since it appears like they might be in a time sharing role for the rest of the season.

We’ll let Nels reminiss about the Kobe thing, but yeah, I heard a lot of grumblings a couple weeks ago about Hinrich being moved. Now that’s died down and bit and Salmons name is coming up, likely because he has an easier contract to move.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Not a keeper league. i'll offer the lou flavor and see if he bites.

Now I just need Kevin Martin to pull his head out of ass, Boozer to recover from injury (and then be traded) and I'll be set!

Agreed. Evans/Gordon seems like a bit much, so definitely try the other one before going higher… if it were a keeper league, I'd consider hanging on to both Evans and Gordon, but if you're trying to plan for a playoff run this year, DW is a good upgrade.

I was opposed to the Kobe trade at the time just because it was so distracting to the team, but yeah, I would have been happy if they'd just made the trade.

And you are astute in noticing the trade rumors about both Hinrich and Salmons. Oddly enough, I just read about a potential deal where the Bulls trade Hinrich for the Lakers expiring contracts.

I like the Evans/Low Williams trade for Deron a lot if you can get that done, but even the Evans/Gordon trade is good for your team. I definitely like to be the person getting the best player in the trade and you're clearly going to be doing that if you can get one of those trades done.

The Jazz play one more game during those three weeks you mentioned than the Kings if I'm not mistaken, so you're gains there will be minimal. But every little bit counts in the end. The Rockets, Spurs and Wizards are the three teams with 4/4/4 during those weeks.
