    Is there any chance this backfires in BC's face? Like Nash gets pissed because we're limiting his options and signs with Dallas?
    I doubt it because by all accounts the Mavs are really swooning Deron hard at the moment and the likelihood of him landing in Dallas look pretty strong.

      And what to do with DD, or is he going to be our starting SF? Unless there is another trade in the works involving DD and a SF?

      Slick move by BC, now how do we shut out Dallas (assuming they lose out on DWill) ?
      Hmm... maybe Triano can head down to wherever Nowitzki is and break his legs

        I would probably agree with you, but as pakdawgie pointed out, the cap hit is averaged, so that puts it at about 6.67M per year, which is a little easier to swallow for us. Assuming we get Nash, I suppose this means Jose will absolutely be amnestied, unless we trade him for Nash in a S&T.
        Ahhhhhhh, well that is not nearly as bad for year 3 but still kind of sucks for year 1 and 2.

        Fields at $6.67M? Hmmmmmmm

          You sure?

          I read Cuban didn't even show up to the swooning and Williams was working out in Brooklyn facilities today.

            It's essentially Barbosa money. It also means Barbosa is not coming back.

              I'll try and find the link, but I read the other day that Deron had been in Dallas for couple days been shown the town via Kidd as a strong sell. Let me see if I can find it again.

                I'm not sure Barbosa was a great contract though - lol - better than Turk that is for sure!

                  I actually expect the Knicks to match. Given their cap position, would they be able to sign another free agent to replace Landry, for the price that Landry would cost to match? Imagine their fanbase if they were to renounce Fields and still not sign Nash??? They might just giveup their pursuit of Nash and bring back Fields.

                    I can swallow Fields for 6.67mil!
                    Why does this spell danger for Derozan? Cant Fields play the 3? He is 6'7'', only an inch smaller than Carmelo, and he is a smart defender!
                    The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

                      It also raises yet another question about DD's future in Toronto.

                        Depends on if he truly wanted Fields or not.

                        Bayless as well

                          Oh, I agree it's pricey at first. But if it lands us Nash, I think he'll be quite able to make Fields a $7M player.

                            True.. I'd rather have Chandler at that price tag, but this was a way to ensure NY stays away from Nash. So in that regards it was a no brainer for BC. But I think a $6.7M contract would be easy to move in this league. Heck if Joe Johnson, Luke Walton, or Gilbert Arenas can be traded, anyone can.

                              Skillz!

                              I love the manoeuvring/c0ck blocking. Landry can do a little bit of everything except hustle. He does lots and lots of that. NYK sorely misused Fields since Melo came aboard and I'd love to have him. He's like JJ only, ya know, a real basketball player.
