4-team trade that could affect Jazz

[Kenwood]

They have 15 players under contract. A sign and trade is not possible.

They can still do a sign-and-trade even if it leaves them with 16 players under contract because it's the offseason. They only have to reduce to 15 by the start of the regular season. That said, I think they are interested in re-signing Watson to keep him, not to trade him away.

I believe Larry Bird is telling it like it is when he says the Pacers are planning more trades. if he can dump 2 guys and bring just 1 in he could then do it if he had an interest in Price.

Oh, well sure. The Pacers will make more trades... I don't see why they would be interested in Ronnie Price. They have A.J. Price, who started many of the games last season for them, and Lance Stephenson, the rookie (who they like at the 1 spot), as back-up point guards already in place.

I don't think they're interested in bringing back Watson, now that they've got Collison. I didn't know they could carry 16 contacts in the off-season -- but even so, they're not going to take on another one. They're already trying to move somebody so they can make room on their roster to sign Mangum Rolle.

 

[GVC]

My prediction is he gets dumped in a trade.

Yikes. Who would want TJ at $8mil?

 

[Stickler]

Well, that's the difficulty. He is an expiring contract, though.
