TOM u my boy and i respect everyone's opinion on this blog, but as far as him being below average i disagree everything else i concur.

That means he is normally a 2. Just wanted to clear that up. Also if we traded for him, the most reasonable thing would be trading Stevenson and another piece so salaries match up. That piece can be songaila or etan. Since Etan's contract is considered "bad" by most ill take him out. Songaila, Stevenson, 09 1st, memphis pick For Mike Miller Want to add that Mike Miller is a SG, that is what he is listed as. That means he is normally a 2. Just wanted to clear that up.

I know that was in season but i think its possible for him to be traded again. He has a trade restriction where he can only be traded by himself by his team...thats what i know. tom i dont know if it is the same…but wasnt rasheed traded to atlanta, played one game and then went to detroit?

Nor is it likely that McHale would want Etan's contract or, aside from the contract itself, would be ready to take a risk on him. Anyway, didn't Minnesota just acquire Miller from Memphis? Can you trade a guy twice in that way (I know you can do it w/ picks)? I think you may have to wait some period before he is again eligible to be traded. Or... maybe I made that up? neal -- you know anything about this? Re: Mike Miller — no, obviously, we couldn’t trade DS for MM; the salaries don’t match.

But, it's not the official roster, which was *supposed* to be issued today. I don't see any prospects on that list. I guess I was hoping to see Dee Brown, but it doesn't really matter I guess.

Probably would give up points but I can't see stopping that duel. Young can be a superstar if given the minutes and to let him get away would be get back from the Butler and K Brown deal...I thought we were PJ Brown short of being the Celtics this year. Maybe Etan Thomas can help but I would like to see them get Childress if they can't resign Roger Mason. I can’t wait to see Nick Young and Gilbert Arenas on the court together.

I would think there would be a little more support for this guy, considering how much of a force he's been coming off the bench. He's instant points when he come into the game. It pick, and roll, and and pick and pop all game with him, and he's consistently nailing those mid range jumpshots after setting those picks. His production would be hard to replace. (Just see game 6 of this year playoff series when he was suspended.) It's just a little odd to me why everyone has him being traded away. We need him.
