He got plenty of his shots in the playoffs last year.

Word is that Alex Acker is going to be worked into the rotation unless Joe makes a move.

That's fine. We'll have two picks in the deepest draft in years. The Orlando pick will have trade value up to the point at which it is revealed which position it will be at (if at all). This is a great asset to have. And if we draft two late first rounders in a deep draft, that helps the salary structure. I am NOT worried about this.

We can't trade just the pick because we are over the salary cap. We need to trade salary for salary. I don't see Joe moving that expiring deal unless he gets a TON in return. It doesn't make sense.
But this does make sense. We traded 2 fer 1. That makes two spots open in the rotation for players already on the roster (Alex Acker, Amir Johnson, Jason Maxiell), and gives us room to add 2 players if Cato is waived (as some have suggested). Sprewell anyone? Just sign him to a one year deal...

Yeah, how predictable will that be?
I think the Darko in Orlando watch will last quite some time. Maybe we need to get DMC his own sub forum again...
