    YES
    We take on a lot of contract money in this one, but we keep both the Dallas and Toronto pick. Worth it.

    No way a deal gets done for Dwight that doesn't include picks. The Lowry deal was done SPECIFICALLY for the Dwight trade. However, if this deal DID happen, I'd be ecstatic. We'd be keeping Lamb PLUS our two first round picks. It's a no-brainer.

    Oops, I misread it. Lamb would be going, but still.....keeping the picks still makes it worth it.

    Only Parsons is proven.

    The rest could be busts.

    Replace Parsons and Lamb with Raptor pick, Dallas pick, and Jones and you've got a deal. That way we can buyout Hedo and Duhon next season and have money for Paul. We could then sign AB to a 1yr deal.

    Brooks/Livingston/Duhon
    Richardson/Lamb
    Parsons/Hedo
    Davis/Dmo
    Howard/Leuer/Smith

    We could potentially have a 2013 starting five of
    Paul
    Lamb
    Parsons
    Dmo
    Howard
    :cool:

    Replace Chandler with Jones, and White with a future pick and then yes

    Out:Kevin Martin + Patterson, Morris, Jones, Lamb, Future 1st or 2nd rounder

    In Howard + Richardson, Davis, Duhon, Turkoglu

    Remove Big Baby and I'm fine. That's the one contract I seriously do not want to take back.

    I don't see how this would work. According to ESPN's trade machine, we'd have to cut $15 million in incoming salary for it to work.

    I've been saying this in other threads, but I just don't see how we can take back all of Orlando's bad contracts. After Martin's ~$12 million yearly salary, our biggest contracts are Patrick Patterson and Toney Douglas at ~$2 million per year.
