Sam Smith-esque trade idea of the week: get in on Jason Kidd deal
I'm hyping up my own trade idea, as it'll blow your freaking minds.

    This is good, if only because it's the first sane, workable deal including Kidd and a team he'd like to go to. My only concern would be L.A. balking at giving up every trade asset it was (one of the young PGs, Kwame's contract, Odom) for Kidd. But Joe Smith is a nice inclusion on that tip, and Magloire doesn't hurt. Hmmmm....

      Good point about the trade assets, but I could see them parting with those pieces with some prodding. This is really well done -- how long did it take to work it out?

      That said, it would easily make the Nets the most depressing team in the league.

        how dare you, Nocioni has fire AND passion. and grit.

        The trade idea didn't take long, or perhaps too long, depending on how much time you feel should be invested in making up trade scenarios in the first place :)

      Odom is an All-Star. Kidd and Magloire are both All-Stars. It's totally fair.

Blog a Bull — Sorry to sound like Jimmy 'Feel Good' Boylan, but ya know what? I can't help but believe the Bulls really will make the playoffs this season. As of Tuesday afternoon they're a game out of the 8th seed which is held by New Jersey, a squad that record wise has actually been overachieving (-5.7 point differential to the Bulls -2.8) and has a 'team leader' that wants out.  Plus they can't stay this bad, especially if Luol Deng gets back in a somewhat timely fashion. But I suppose more important than the possibility of making the playoffs is that the organization has put up a unanimous front declaring ...
