    If the deal was Monta, Turiaf, Randolph, and expirings for McGrady and Scola, then there is your young Scola replacement and we still get a pivot for this season at a fairly reasonable contract in Turiaf. Turiaf would make a good backup to Yao next season, that is if Randolph did not supplant him and finally start reaching his potential. If that kid can stay healthy, I am convinced he is going to be big time. I can see KG in him. Except he's got the handle and court vision of McGrady. He's an incredible, super young talent.

    I am very tempted by Golden State's assets right now. But, as efficient as Maggette is, I would still prefer Monta. I think Monta would supercharge our offense and I think he is very adequate defensively.

    You know i was thinking the same thing. Any team with decent bigs like what you mentioned and a high draft position, will probably be looking to move one since somany of them in the next draft who would probably be better we could realistically take back in a deal. That team moves forward with it's new replacement.

    I don't like Ellis with Brooks. However I would sub Maggette for Ellis in your trade.
