A week or so ago, I mentioned a 3 way deal involving Boston, Utah, and Was.
Knowing Washington is willing to move everyone except Andray Blatche (could be wrong about that) and Utah looking to make moves, and get under the cap, I came up with this trade, and it worked on espn trade machine, so it is possible, and I believe it is a fair and close to even, considering players involved.
The Trade was:
Boston would receive
CJ Miles
Dominic McGuire
(Ronnie Price) [the deal worked both w/ and w/o Ronnie Price involved[
Washington would receive:
Kyle Korver
Brian Scalabrine
Utah would recieve
Mike James
Tony Allen
JR Giddens
I think this is a pretty fair deal on all sides:
From Washington's standpoint, they get rid of unused Mike James (something they've been trying to do since they got him) They get rid of barely used Dominic Mcguire.
They get back two expiring contracts in Korver and Scal. so they don't lose anything as far as getting back a worse contract. Plus with the Wizards trying to revamp thier roster and image, Scal and Korver are as innocent looking as they come, and dont bring along any baggage.
(funny and sad how when team are looking to change their team image after some major altercation or incident, the team always adds more white players then the previous 3 seasons combined) {i.e, Indiana Pacers and Portland Trailblazer "JAILblazer" years]-go look up those rosters- (just an observation)
Utah gets rid of CJ Miles and Kyle Korver (and maybe Ronnie Price). Korver is kind of a shadow of himself and his trying to get back in game shape after missing the first part of the season due to injury. CJ Miles has two years on his contract, and is sometimes up and down as far as consistency, sometimes in the lineup, sometimes off bench, sometimes doesnt play at all.
Utah would get Tony Allen, Mike James, and Jr Giddens, all 3 players expire in the summer, so that would be a slight advantage in the contract "trade" (Cj expires in 2011). Mike James would give the Jazz add bench depth, as well as PG depth. Tony Allen might fit with the Jazz better, i dont know, he would have to compete with Wes Matthews right now, so, that would be interesting. And JR Giddens, they would take him because of his contract of course. Overall the Jazz would get a little more flexibility in the summer with 3 players expiring
Boston would get rid of Tony Allen, Scal, and JR. I think its clear the C's need a deeper, younger more athletic bench, and with getting rid of Scal, we automatically get more athletic 10-fold. Getting rid of Tony, the C's can cut their TO rate in half ( being sarcastic), and get rid of bonehead plays inconsistency and a player who has probably reached his ceiling as a Celtic (might do better in Phx or GS).
Boston would receive CJ Miles, Dominic McGuire, (and maybe Ronnie Price). Cj miles is a younger, less turnonver-prone, more offensively gifted, bigger version of Tony Allen, with a higher ceiling. (i believe he would thrive in a reserve role for the Celtics, b/c he wouldn't have to worry if he is starting or not every night, he would know he's coming off the bench, and could thrive in a role once he got comfortable). However Boston does take Miles 2 yr contract, instead of Tonys or Scals expiring. but the difference is Boston is a championship team that doesn't need large cap space in the summer to sign someone, because they will be contenders again in 2010-2011 anyway,(plus being in the east helps).
McGuire is a young athletic 6'9" F who is versatile, and can bring many intangibles to a bench. Also his contract expires in the summer.
