DAL-BOS-CHA idea

[snively]

With Diaw completely on the outs in Charlotte (rumored to be bought out after the deadline if they can't find a taker), Odom on shaky ground in Dallas and prognostications pointing JO being a buyout/retirement candidate, doesn't the following deal make some sense for all the parties involved?

Boston sends: JO, Moore, Stiemsma
Boston receives: Lamar Odom, Cory Higgins (waived)

Dallas sends: Lamar Odom
Dallas receives: Boris Diaw

Charlotte sends: Boris Diaw, Cory Higgins
Charlotte receives: JO (bought out), Moore, Stiemsma

Boston gets a frontcourt player with speed, skill, length and defense/rebounding ability.  Also frees up a pair of roster spots.

Dallas gets a capable forward to fill Odom's role for their playoff run while being spared the $2.4 mil in money/cap space in Odom's buyout.

Charlotte gets to save a couple million right away (potentially more with a JO buyout/retirement) and adds a couple of cheap, low-level prospects for their troubles.

I don't know that the Bobcats would want to take back all that clutter when they could just buy out Diaw.

Dallas would have to be all over this, along with any move that gets rid of Marion.

Boston is questionable, because I don't know that Odom solves any of our problems and would have to be on the payroll an extra year.

Still, it's a pretty reasonable idea all around. I'd probably be more on board with Diaw straight up for the pieces being offered, but it wouldn't be a bad deal.

Who is this player that you describe that Boston would be getting?  Because it's certainly not Lamar Odom this year...
