NJ/ORL Trade Idea

[Rondoesit]

NJ Receives: Dwight Howard + Duhon
ORL Receives: B.Lopez, Brooks, Okur (expiring), Farmar + pick??

To me this seems fair value.

Orlando get Lopez: a young guy with lots of upside, and a potential superstar in Brooks, an expiring Okur, and a PG upgrade in Farmar over Duhon.

They'd look like:

Nelson/Farmar
Brooks/JRich/Redick
Turkoglu/QRich
Anderson/Davis
Lopez/Okur

Pretty solid lineup with a good young core of Brooks-Anderson-Lopez to build on for the future. I understand Anderson and Lopez are good friends from their NJ days together, brief though they were.

Then the Magic could and should send JRich to a contender for a pick, and use Brooks and Redick as the 2-guard rotation.

Biggest issue here for me is that you'd expect any deal involving Howard to also involve Hedo Turkoglu going out too, they'll want to shed his salary if they're rebuilding.

Also, could a bonehead like Otis Smith get this much for DH12? I doubt it.

Thoughts?
