JJ to Philly?

One of the infinite transgressions that this team has levied against me, is a perpetual inability to develop their young talent.  Lets add JJ to that ignominious list and move on.  JJ has no future in Orlando.  He knows it.  The local media know it.  The fans know it.  And yet, Otis refuses to acknowledge it.  Nonetheless, whenever it is that reality hits Otis like a freight train and he comes to his senses, looks at his business card and gets down to doing what hes paid to, lets hope he moves JJ for one of Philly's excess bigs.

The Sixers were one of the worst outside shooting teams in the league and desperately need to add a three point bomber to relieve the pressure on Brand.  And we need more bodies inside, since theres no guarantee that Foyle will return for the vet's minimum and Rashard was playing out of position anyway.  Philly's got Reggie Evans, Jason Smith and Speights backing up Brand, and thats too many players backing up that position (unless they think Speights can also backup Dalembert at center).  If we can get Evans for JJ straight up (with other contracts thrown in for CBA purposes) that would represent fair market value.   The Sixers may not want a shooter at 2 since they already have Louis Williams (a combo guard) and Igoudala, plus last year's starter, Willie Greeen.  In that case, we should try to move Cook for Reggie Evans.  Cook is nominally a big, but hes only there to bomb away from three, a task he failed at monumentally last year, but maybe a change of scenery will do him some good.  If Otis can get Speights for JJ and Cook without giving up a first, that would be a major coup.

I don't know what value Bogans has, but he needs to be moved, if for no other reason than to give Lee a real shot at developing.

Don’t count on trading for Reggie Evans, he’s got a bad rep and thats a big turn off for Otis.

J.J. might work in Philadelphia. I suggested trading him there a few weeks (months?) ago and a 76ers fan commented to tell me the 76ers couldn’t afford to have J.J. on the floor because he’s such a poor defender. Now that they have Elton Brand guarding the post, I think they might be willing to take a flyer on J.J.

Maybe they’d prefer Keith Bogans…?

I think it's possible myself

But Cook/Redick can’t be traded for Speights straight up because that doesn’t work under the salary cap. (Go to ESPN”s trade machine and do it. What they will tell you that for 2 teams over the salary cap, both Philly and Orlando are, you have to make a trade that is 125% of the salary’s outgoing plus 100 K (one hundred thousand). In otherwords, Cook and Redick make too much money combined to be trade straight up for Speights. (You have also got to wait 30 days after Speights is signed by Philly to even trade for him too. Keep that in mind.)

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on
