Inspired by:

Ben (Grosse Pointe, Mich.): Would you trade Rodney Stuckey to Minnesota for Al Jefferson if you could?

Langlois: It’s purely theoretical, of course, because the Pistons aren’t in position to give up the point guard they handed the future to by trading Chauncey Billups, and the Timberwolves are already seriously lacking in frontcourt talent. But as much as I like Jefferson, Stuckey’s the pick. Stuckey has prototypical point guard size and skills. Jefferson, though he’s a wondrous and inventive interior scorer, is undersized for the position and I wonder how his scoring ability would translate to the steady diet of quality teams he’d see in the postseason – if Minnesota ever gets there. Also look at the way the NBA has trended, with increasing emphasis on point guard play.

Why did that trade succeed? Jefferson makes nearly double the money that those two make combined.

You're a dick.

[Glenn]

Why do you say that?

You seem angry.

I fully admit I know next to nothing about the salary cap. I pride myself on the lack of knowledge. I just figured a simple explination of the Base Year Compensation would have been better than forwarding me the handbook of the NBA's Salary Cap.


Anyways, enough grumpiness from MoTwon. Yes, I would do that deal.

[Glenn]

Understood. It wasn't intentionally dicky, I just thought that Larry could explain it better than I ever could.

I added a poll but forgot to make the votes public, so fuck me.
