What's a good 3rd team to involve in the Daniels Deal?

[fairweatherfan06]

I guess Memphis is an obvious choice because they still have cap room and wouldn't have to involve any of their players plus if they did want to get something for Warrick he's coveted around here, though I don't know that DA has interest in him, but what other teams might be a good trade partner?  Who else or what other need could we fill in this hodge podge?

NJ? (two birds with one stone?)
Portland (another run at Outlaw)

Thoughts???

Agree.  There are enough combinations available to get this done.

This took some "playing w/ the numbers" to work so enjoy CBs...

Boston gets Rasual Butler and Marquis Daniels(5.1mil)

Indiana gets Antonio Daniels, Giddens, and Devin Brown + Bos Trade exp

New Orleans gets Scal, Tony, Pruitt and Brandon Rush + Bos Trade exp

Boston gets their SF and backup PG WITHOUT using the 1.9 Biannual exp and without losing BBD. Indiana gets their PG option for injury prone TJ Ford plus they get a new SG and 2 young talents. New Orleans cuts 9 mil in payroll and 3 players that wont get contracts from them next season. Plus they get a good SG in Brandon Rush.

Don't see Indiana giving up Rush for that package.  IMO, they covet him more than any player in this deal.

How about:

Boston trades:  Tony Allen, cash, #2 from Sacramento
Boston receives: Marquis Daniels ($2.5 million sign-and-trade)

OKC trades: Damien Wilkins
OKC receives: Tony Allen, #2 from Sacramento

Indiana trades: Marquis Daniels
Indiana receives: Damien Wilkins, cash

The cash sent would be enough to almost off-set Wilkins salary, meaning Indiana would get a end-of-rotation guy for free.  Tony would go back home, and Boston could clear Tony's salary from the books.

Of course, there's the question of what OKC gets out of it, but they've at least explored signing Tony in the past, and they're saving money in the deal.

Sounds good to me.

wilkins was traded to minny yesterday

So they did.  I guess we'd have to find another team to do a three-way with us.  Maybe Minnesota; just swap them for OKC in the above deal.

I agree with the two trade ideas above. Something like that has got to materialize pretty soon, because we can't have this situation for another month. And yes, teams that are going nowhere and where only God knows what they're doing (just like Minny), should get Tony "Frickin'" Allen.

While I am still skeptical that Indiana would take a trade without Bill Walker as incentive ... what about New Orleans?

Swap Tony Allen and Gabe Pruitt for Rasual Butler?   Once they non tender Pruitt, they end up saving about $1.5MM.
