I have a friend who is a Laker fan and he brings up deals all the time to get rid of Luke Walton. He's hated him since he was at Arizona. Might be because he is a USC guy and hates Walton too.
He asked me about whether I would trade Scalabrine and Davis for Luke Walton.
I'll start this off by saying I view Brian Scalabrine as a sunk cost. Getting rid of him brings any player we add back as a positive. I don't like Luke Walton's contract, but if you view Scalabrine as a useless guy whose salary does nothing for us .. you could view Walton's contract as followed.
1 - $1,213,103
2 - $1,426,207
3 - $5,260,000
4 - $5,680,000
5 - $6,100,000
