    Right now, the basics of the for TPE purposes trade probably looks something like this:

    1. Camby, Lowry, and Patterson(or Morris) for Dwight.
    2. Livingston for Duhon. (Livingston has to be traded by himself.)
    3. Martin and Smith for JRich

    Leaving us with a $7.9 TPE.

    However, the talk is the Rox are looking for a trade partner for Scola. What that means is they are looking for an expiring contract and a pick to include in this deal instead of Martin so they can retain Martin's expiring contract as a future trade piece or as a perimeter scorer to pair with Dwight. I think they want to retain Martin for the time being. His defense, or lack thereof, is covered by Dwight in the middle. And because he is a perimeter threat on an expiring contract, I'm sure the Rox value him over Scola right now with Dwight coming in.

    So, look for the Rox to do their darndest to move Scola today and complete the Dwight trade using Scola, Camby, Lowry, Smith, Livingston, and one (possibly both) of PPat or Morris as outgoing salaries. And of course, a CLee S&T may be another option for salary contribution as well if we move Scola and keep Martin.
