Odom for #15

Well, to get Owolokandi in a sign and trade, that would have to be after July 1 or whenever.

Brand, Miles, and Richardson are probably considered untouchables. Maggette doesn't shoot well enough to be a SF/SG for us.

The only real player that would be realistic is Odom.

However, I'm not willing to trade the #1 and cap fillers, for Odom. I would trade our #15 and KT for Odom. But there is no chance in hell the Clippers would make that trade.

There really aren't any "bright ideas".

I would do the #15 and KT for Odom but does that work under the CBA? Odom makes 2.812 million and KT only makes 946k. How much does the #15 count towards the cap?

I think Houston might be able to get Odom with Thomas and the 15th pick, but it would have to involve another team since they already have Brand at power forward and multiple picks already. This would be the type of deal that I'd like to see.

Houston gets Lamar Odom
Dallas gets Kenny Thomas, Moochie and #15 pick
LAC gets Nick Van Exel

The Rockets get their small forward.

Dallas gets a good power forward allowing Dirk to move back to small forward. They get a backup point guard to replace Van Exel and they can use the 15th pick to get a tough big man like Stoudemire or Hilario.

The Clippers get the point guard/leader that they need.

Believing NVE is a team leader as your premise for this trade, invalidates this trade.

This trade is officially dead on arrival

Dal will not trade NVE for a soft PF.

They will trade him for a Dale Davis type though.

KT is probably the last PF in the NBA that Dallas would trade for.

We would probably have to throw in fillers.

This deal would work, if we drafted a player for the Clips, then traded him, so that the salary would count in the trade, whicih would make the trade eligible. However, I think there's some rule that stipulates that you can't trade a signed rookie until like January or something.

Obviously, we would have to sign that rookie first, for him to count against the cap.
