Really cam? then what do you trade a trade exception for? The cavs have one, they were rumored to be considering trading it for brew a while back.

Ya cam is right, the cavs would be able to absorb brewer contact in the trade (if no other players are involved) but then the trade exemption goes away, we don't obtain the trade exemption it just goes away

Anyone have a list of available bigs?

Centers available:
O'Neal
Okafor
Bynum
Gray
Mullens
Camby

Unfortunately, that is the list. And most of these guys are hurt or way too old. I suggested Gray in another post, but his heart issues may still have him on the shelf. It could be that Fesenko is the best choice if he can get out of his contract.

What is Thabeat up to these days?

Yeah, just ignore that part about "injury exception" I wrote. It was a typo. :)

You said injury exception or cut GR3 or Bud. I said cutting anyone would be stupid. I mentioned nothing about the exception. If Flip wants to use it be my guest. I just commented on the part where you insinuated that cutting someone for a backup PG should be considered at this point when we have nothing to play for and the guy you would bring in would be used for 1 month and then be useless.

I don't get why some people think it's so stupid to try and improve your Roster. Are we that loaded with talent that everyone on the current roster is too valuable to let go? Of course not. The last two guys on most rosters are just interchangable parts with any free agents out there. I would have no problem if they make some changes to rebalance the roster. A losing culture is hard to break. Don't give up after 13 games - get some help.

Okay, so who would you get rid of to "balance the roster"? It's one thing to say improve the roster, but someone has to leave for that to happen. Are you going to just jettison the potential of RG3? Are you going to cut someone who might have trade value?
