NBA Trade June 2007
As the new season starts on November. As leisuretime holidays starts. Teams will try to get the best players for their team that will fit to their system and salary cap. There are lot of blockbuster trade happening in the last few months. I’ll give you the insights on some of them.
Zach Randolph, Fred Jones, and Dan Dickau traded to Steve Francis and Channing Frye.
On this trade I think both will benefit the trade. Channing Frye I think would be the missing link for the Power forward position. Steve Francis if healthy would certainly will help young players like Greg Oden and Brandon Roy to be the next franchise players in the NBA. Zach Randolph and Fred Jones will certainly be a great additional to New York Knicks because they can play the position Power Forward and Small Forward. We know that Zach Randolph is a great force inside. With Eddie Curry on the center position they will surely dominate the inside and make New York Knicks to be a tough team in the East.
Ray Allen and draft rights to Glen Davis traded to Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak, and draft rights to Jeff Green.
I don’t think this is a fair trade. Ray Allen is still very productive over the last few years. But with Kevin Durant on the lineup he might fill up the role of Ray Allen. Wally Szczerbiak didn’t have a good season last year because of injury. But this guy can play basketball if healthy. Delonte West, another great player but I think he need to figure out his main role first to be able to be effective.
Thats it for now. I know Kobe Bryant wanted to be traded. There are rumors that probably Jermaine Oneal join Kobe Bryant in L.A. in exchange for Andrew Bynum. I’m sure there will be more trade soon in the following months. I’ll keep you updated on it.
