Shareef's 08-09 Salary Can Still Be Taken Off

Shareef is in New York today to see a league-appointed doctor according to Sam Amick. The Kings will have only $61,612,823 on the books after his $6.2 million is taken off for this season, if the doctor diagnoses him with arthritis and "sees the damage that led (him) to have two arthroscopic surgeries."

Hoopsworld: Brad to New York?

Hoopsworld: Brad to New York?

How did I miss this one? I blame the Darius Miles drama from last week.

Hoopsworld jumps on the possibility of a Miller-Thomas for Marbury trade: "Miller's passing ability and face up game would be a nice fit in Coach Mike D'Antoni's system. The Knicks would be able to cash out a disgruntled player for a very workable center."

Teams' Records Since Coaching Changes

rc360 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:40:20 -0000

After the loss to Washington last night I wondered where Kenny Natt stood among the Wizards' Ed Tapscott and the four other coaches that replaced the previous head coaches. The answer is not pretty.

Tony Dileo, Philadelphia 76ers (11-7) 0.611

Kevin McHale, Minnesota Timberwolves (9-12) 0.428 Note: T'Wolves have won last 7 of 9 games.

Jay Triano, Toronto Raptors (8-19) 0.296

Ed Tapscott, Washington Wizards (8-22) 0.266

Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder (8-22) 0.266

Kenny Natt, Sacramento Kings (4-15) 0.210

Another way to look at it, the Kings are 3-9 since Martin's return and 1-6 without him since Natt took over. However, it's hard to believe that he has a shot at getting the head coaching position next season with his record. Keeping in mind that K-Mart was healthy for only the first 7 games, Reggie's record was 6-18.

Miller-Marion Trade Might be in Danger to Cavs. Poll: Welcome a 3-Way Deal?

rc360 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:49:06 -0000

UPDATE: The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reports that the Cavs have not talked to the Heat about getting Marion, according to "multiple team sources." In the polls 54% of StR was in favor of the 3-way trade as described below and 45% weren't. Thanks for voicing your opinion.

This coming from Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports, the Cavs are offering Anderson Varejao and Wally Szczerbiak to the Miami Heat for Shawn Marion. The Cavs, however, are "hesitant to mess with the chemistry." The Raptors are also going after Marion. Just my thought, maybe a 3-way trade with the Kings works?

An overwhelming 91% of StR members would welcome a trade for Marion as shown in TZ's poll. Marion would probably rather play with LeBron James than in Sacramento and the Kings are seemingly holding out for the best offer when it comes to trading Brad. The Cavs, they're not pulling the trigger because of chemistry concerns to an already very good team. Ether way, his $18 million comes off the books after this season, but if Marion does get shipped to Cleveland I'd like to see Geoff Petrie jump in.

Brad and Kenny Thomas still get traded to the Heat giving them a much needed center. Marion gets shipped to Cleveland to make a run with LeBron, if they gel. Maybe throw Quincy Douby to Cleveland. It works too. Wally World and Varejao go to Sactown. Wally's $13 million contract expires this season and Varejao, according to the article, will "likely opt out." If he doesn't he has over $6 million due to him next season before his contract ends.

This trade could push Jason Thompson to the starting line-up with Spencer Hawes moving to center. With Varejao coming in it also adds another big man.Not a bad trade the Kings could make. So I ask this...

Poll

If Shawn Marion was going to Cleveland but Brad Miller was still going to Miami, would you welcome Wally Szczerbiak and Anderson Varejao?
