With the last few draft deadlines coming and going with little more than a bunch of mediocre trades, this one seems like it had a little more substance.
Sure, we had the inconsequential trade of Chris Mihm and a swap of draft picks.
You have to expect that you’d have at least one of those.
But here is what else we were treated to.
The official trade involves Jason Richardson and Sean Singletary being sent to Phoenix in exchange for Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, and Jared Dudley.
How will this affect the players individually, as well as their teams?
As part of a second trade by the Knicks on Friday, New York shed itself of Zach Randolph’s enormous contract in a purely cost-cutting measure in the hopes of landing one of the major free agents of 2010. The Knicks sent Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley.
Fantasy-wise, does this mean anything to you?
In reading the headlines earlier, Jamal Crawford was not set to be one of the principles in the trade to Golden State for Al Harrington, who has long been in Nellie’s dog house.
With the trade final, now he is.
The rumor out there is that Al Harrington will be traded to New York in exchange for an expiring contract. Don’t you love those expiring contracts?
Here’s what it means for you in a Fantasy Basketball perspective.
