NBA trades have only just begun
So there was a trade made in the NBA last night, the second trade completed in two days. Wally Szczerbiak was dealt to the Boston Celtics for guard Ricky Davis in an exchange involving seven players and three draft picks. This came after Wednesday's trade involving the best European shooter since Drazen Petrovic in Peja Stojakovic for the a crazy person, who some know as Ron Artest.
I don't think we've seen the last of the trades that will surface between now and the NBA's trading deadline on February 23. Servicable players the likes of Al Harrington, Jalen Rose and Steve Francis all have a good chance to be moved before the deadline due to expiring deals, big contracts and veterans trying to leave a losing franchise.
The only player among the above players and other rumored available players I would covet, if I were the Sonics GM, is Harrington. Big Al is a player would can play 3 positions, and at 6-9, 250, he's a handful to matchup with. Harrington also is only 25 years old and it's hard to believe that at that age this is his 8th year in the NBA. He is a risk since his contract is up at the end of the season, which means the Sonics won't do it, even though Hotlanta would probably take a package of Vladimir Radmanovic and Flip Murray.

Harrington sounds good...throw him down at the 4 w/ Reggie either off the bench or running the 5 in certain sets, keeping Ray and Rashard outside...and what's the price? Vlad and Flip Murray, two players that are way too overvalued by this franchise...also I like Wally on the C's should be good for Pierce, but then again it is the Doc and Danny show...
Ya, but Reggie is gonna get dealt too if somebody offers us anybody with a pulse. Sure, Evans can hit the boards, but he doesn't bring anything, I mean anything to the table on offense.
I think Danny has done a pretty good job outside the Blount and B. Scalabrine contracts. He was able to move both Antoine and GP for something (which eventually led to Wally) after they demanded trades, and hasn't made any huge mistakes in the draft. He made up for the disastrous Blount signing by dealing that contract in this deal and freeing up free agent dollars for next off season. Look for the C's to go for Harrington or even Ben Wallace after the season ends.
WHO CARES... THE NBA IS HORRIBLE
even better with the fact that they are moving to KTTH 770. So now my dad can start to listen to the games.
Will 770 be able to handle the lesbian following of the storm?
as of now I believe the Storms will be staying on KJR, apparently they're able to handle
