Big Man Trade

[hawks2007]

Atlanta - New York Trade:

Eddy Curry to Atlanta

Zaza Pachulia, Speedy Claxton, and Salim Stoudamire to NY

Why? For Atlanta, they get a big man who has his problems, but is young and hopefully can mature. Signing an experienced big man may make for a good 1 year deal, but the upside of a young, talented big man could create a dynasty if he develops. For NY, this trade may be addition by subtraction, giving Zach Randolph who is clearly better more room to operate in the post.

Atlanta's Line-up:

PG - Mike Bibby, Acie Law

SG - Joe Johnson, Josh Childress

SF - Marvin Williams, Jeremy Richardson

PF - Josh Smith, Solomon Jones

C - Al Horford, Eddy Curry

This team is young, talented, and 2 deep at each position.

Finally, if the Hawks don't use Claxton's contract this year, it essentially is a waste in cap-space talk as they will be over the limit with signing Childress and Smith.

No thanks.

I would do this in a heartbeat, but NY would never go for this deal. Zaza isn't worth squat and neither are Speedy or Salim.

One good player for 3 garbage players doesn't = good trade.

Curry is not good

I was just about to post the same idea with Childress and Speedy going instead of Zaza. I think you start Curry and have Horford as the 6th man. It might be hard for Horford to come off the bench considering that he is ROY potential, but in the long run it will benefit him more coming in as PF defensive specialist.

Bibby/Law

JJ/Salim

Marvin/West

Smoove/Horford

Curry/Zaza

what is wrong with y'all?we already don't have a full roster yet ya'll keep suggesting trades where we trade multiple players for 1.it doesn't work and Curry sucks and is paid way too much.

[Johnnybravo4]

Curry is a better fit talent wise that a combo of Zaza and Childress. Plus we will probably end up spending more money on a resigned Childress and zaza than we would for the remaining Curry contract.

[AtLaS]

This trade sucks, we would have to pay Curry for the next 4 years and he'll be making 10 million and 11 million in 2009-10 and 2010-11. It's definitely NOT worth it.

If you think Zaza sucks at defense and rebounding, you haven't seen NOTHING. Curry just doesn't try, at all, he's a fat lazy bum who gets outplayed by complete scrubs every night.

[Johnnybravo4]

Id rather pay Curry 10 mil for 16/6 in offensive post play then to pay Childress/Zaza 12 million per for no offensive post play.

But we may only have to trade Zaza, Speedy and Salim

I'd rather let Childress and Zaza go and use that money elsewhere rather than giving 10+ million per to Curry. He's not worth it at all, he's a complete black hole and doesn't help teams at all.

[Johnnybravo4]

With your guts we'd still have Ivey at the point.

Hmmm.....if you think that is a good idea........I would rather offer David Andersen......4-6 mil a year and bring him over......the Hawks would be in a better position long term......with less gamble. This is based on a post someone else posted recently about DA. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, are you suggesting that we will offer Zaza a larger contract once his expires, based on how he is playing?
