You still haven't answered my question, and you're trying to knock down straw men here. Why would anyone, at all, want CJ Miles? What team could possibly benefit from having him? If you were a fan of any of the other 29 teams in the league, could you foresee the circumstances in which you would be excited about CJ Miles joining your team?

CJ has an expiring contract, he's 24, and......basketball wise he can dunk the ball which has to count for something. The expiring contract is the best trade value that CJ has.

The expiring contract is 3.7 million. It's hardly the sort of stuff that would do much more than somewhat help a team clear space for a player like Howard. If CJ's contract was 8 million, it'd be a whole different story. I don't think even Russian mobsters are stupid enough to trade a player like Morrow in order to clear up just under 4 million.

No stop! JimLes is right and CJ is totally, completely and irrevocably worthless. He should probably stop breathing because he is wasting air.

Unless a team is within several million of the luxury tax and can clear enough salary to get under. Then expirings are worth up to double their face value. Plus teams under the tax threshold receive a sizable profit share amount. Someone like Kenwood would need to weigh in with exact numbers, but dumping Okur's contract saved Utah way more than $10.9M this year. I read NJ needs to clear just a couple of contracts in order to offer Howard a MAX deal and Lopeza contract of about $10M. Looking at their salaries, I don't see the amnesty provision as any help for NJ. They'd have to clear space via trades.

No they're not, tax is calculated on the salary cap number of a team on the last day of the regular season. But a team within about $2M of the luxury tax could send $5.65M of contracts back in exchange for CJ to get under the limit. But other than ridding us of CJ, why would we do that unless we get either a draft pick or a decent player?

Also, we weren't going to pay tax this year even with Okur, thanks to AK's contract finally expiring.

Cmon, we all know that KOC won't make a trade when we all think he should.

Kevin O Connor is a tuff guy. He's not going to let some GM get a better deal than him. So he'll battle with other GM's but will ask for too much.

He could just except a 2nd rounded and a nobody expiring for CJ, but he won't.
Instead CJ will walk next year for nothing and so will Josh Howard.


Just more talent walking out the door for nothing.

Why not take something less in return? It's better than nothing. And the Jazz do well with 2nd rounders. They should value them.


Look. I hope he does. I would rather be wrong and have you clowns berate me.
But instead ill have to settle for being right and having you berate me.
