Hannibal Lecter
After nearly two months of trying to find a trade for him, the New Jersey Nets are near an agreement to send Troy Murphy to the Golden State Warriors for Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The trade is expected to be completed on Wednesday, but could still become larger with the inclusion of Nets point guard Devin Harris into a three-team package – most likely with Portland or Dallas, sources said.
The Warriors, who would also receive a 2012 second-round pick from the Nets, will buy out the remainder of the $12 million owed Murphy in the final year of his contract and allow him to become a free agent.
Murphy, a 6-foot-11 forward, has the interest of several playoff contenders, including Orlando, Dallas, Miami and Boston, sources said. His 3-point range and size make him attractive to playoff teams.”

Looks like Troy Murphy will be available shortly as he is probably going to be bought out after being traded to GS. The guy can rebound, shoot the 3 and run the floor(decently). He played poorly this year but with a new start on a team like NY in our system playing alongside proven winners like Billiups, Amare and Melo I think he could be a great pickup. I think we could get him for cheap. He would not have to move to a new market and may like the idea to reinvent himself in NYC.
