If Joe goes to New York

[Scott]

If Joe wants to sign with New York we have a three options. The first option would be to hope he agrees to a sign and trade so he can earn more money with New York. We sign and trade him for there cap space and we will have a 16 million dollars Traded Player Exemption. That we have one year to use before it expires. This could be very useful in the current economic times we may be able to acquire a quality player from a team wanting to reduce there luxury tax for 2011. The second option would be if we agree to sign and trade for Eddy Curry and his 11.2 million dollar ending contract we would have a 5 million dollar Traded Player Exemption and his expiring contract to use in trades. The third and worst option for Atlanta would be if he signs with New York and we get nothing in return. We would sign Josh Childers and maybe another player with our Mid Level Exemption. I personaly hope for option number one.
