Proposed deal of Maggette to the Cavs.

Danny is searching for another bad contract to F- Up their Long Term salary cap. 4years 39milli. Maggette also made on B Simms Top 25 worst contracts.

As a Heat fan I shouldnt be talking, but at least all of their "bad" contracts are expiring this year. The corpse that is Jermaine O'Neal

From what I've heard this leak is very wrong. Cavs sources are saying any mention of the Cavs and Maggette would be a 3-team deal to help get Jamison or Amar'e.

This happens all the time. GM's leak out bad contracts in order to sway attention away from their actual plans. But this shit trade would not surprise me.

From a Cav's board member...

- Windy Belives Cavs are pushing HARD for the Suns to do this NOW. Trying to avoid someone coming with a better package.
- Anything else you hear about the Cavs (ie Maggette Jamison) are either a packup plan. Or a simple smokescreen.
- If Amare plays tonight than this might go down all the way to 3 on Thursday.
- Whether the cavs do this deal or not. Right now the cavs love their flexability. West Shaq and Z all free agents. The cavs are operating under a WIN THIS SEASON approach. And really are not concerned about the contract situation of Amare.
- Thinks they could really get Jamison if the really wanted him.
- Debate is still going on internally about the situation of dealing for a Jamison for the right now or dealing for Amare for the right now and for the future.
- Ferry is still attracted to "stealing" another player (i.e. Mo and Shaq and lesser level West)
- Windy - Cavs interest in Troy Murphy has always been Mild at very best. Still maybe on board but doubts it.
- Has not heard anything about Maggette. Does not think he fits in at all. With his play or his contract. Not a viable option.
- Windy - Would be SHOCKED if the T-mac trade goes through. More because it really does not make sense from the Houston end. However does admit it still have a chance of happening. Dosent really believe the Knicks even with the deal will be able to offer 2 max contracts. But will be able to offer enough to be able to pull in two very nice free agents. (Listening he seemed to contradicting himself 3 or 4 times, but maybe it was just me)
- Z and JJ dont work for Amare very complicated situation. Cavs are going to have to add another piece like a Danny Green and a pick to really make it work. Not going to let a deal hedge on if they are going to give up a 1st rd pick.
- % of possiblity of Amare coming is based upon if Stoudamire plays tonight.
- Kinda has a feeling that there is a possiblity that the cavs might not do anything. Cavs would toss and turn tonight if they had to think about trading JJ for Jamison.
- Key is if Stoudamire plays tonight would be a clear indication to what direction this is going to be going.
- On signing Walley Windy has talked to him and unless he is keeping info from him because he dosent wanna jinx anything their is nothing happening on the signing walley front.

Key thing to watch tonight is whether or not Amare play's. If he doesn't play then he's going to the Cav's. If he does then the deal is most likely off the table.
