    Brian Windhorst (Cavs' beat writer). Interesting comments about the Pacers

    In yesterday's podcast at around the 12:45 mark, he says that the word around the league is that the Pacers are asking for some ridiculous offers. Says that when the Cavs enquired about Murphy, they wanted a "laughable" return that included cap relief, prospects and MULTIPLE picks.

        Couldn't it be "we want 40, they'll want to give us 30 or less, so we'll start by asking for 50 or more"?

          the guy is saying that the pacers are asking for multiple draft pick and prospect for Murphy, maybe more.

            It never hurts to ask, I guess.

                Possible, but that's a dangerous way to negotiate. By doing so you can insult the other person (does Bird really think I'm this stupid??) and either nix a deal completely, or make them less inclined to give you what you want. As much as it's business, you're dealing with personalities too.

                      Between this and the rumors that we demanded Bynum and Odom for J.O., it makes you think...

                        This is what I've been afraid of the entire time, and not just with Murphy. I expect the exact same thing happened with TJ.

                            Didnt JO have a simmialr complaint when Bird was trying to move him? I believe this to be true because I remember when it was reported that Bird wanted BOTH Bynum and Odom for JO


                            Bird , for the love of Go please stop and be reasonable

                            Murphy and Foster deserve to be traded to a contender NOW!!

                            They have ben good guys and especially Foster have been a great example for the city of Indianapolis and the Pacers
                            Sittin on top of the world!

                              Umm...You don't trade them to a contender just because they are good guys.

                              You trade them to the team that gives you the best in return. Period.
