TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to Atlanta and Portland being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Atlanta and Portland had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

First off, we don't need Stoudamire. Personally, I think Wilks can do a lot of the thing Stoudamire can do. I'm not overrating him or anything, Stoudamire's definitely better but as far as defense and distribution, Wilks is playing well. We need a legit SG that can handle and play defense for Grob. Eddie Jones or Latrell Sprewell come to mind for that. Theo Ratliff isn't playing as well as we had hoped but he is still more valuable than you have him in that deal. Take out Stoudamire and somehow include Derek Anderson and then it is a possibility.

Derek Anderson is an injury waiting to happen. That is not a deal I would do. Neither of those two deals.

i agree with Jezmund...

Stoudamire's contract is crazy! its up there with Allan Houstons... sure, Stoudamire is the better player but him and Wilks have similar type of game.

Wilks is also 15 times cheaper...
