Another 3 team trade w Heat, Pacers, Celtics

OK,

To Boston:

Marquis Daniels
Chris Quinn
Daequan Cook

To Miami:

Tony Allen
Travis Diener

To Indiana:

J.R.Giddens
Dorell Wright

Miami also sends a 2010 2nd round pick to Boston. Boston declines to match the Heat offer to Big Baby. Indiana sends some cash as necessary to help offset Daniels salary which is presumably 3 year 9-10 million starting at 3 million per.

Why? Cook is an offensive upgrade who can handle the ball a little better than Tony Allen (IMO) and Quinn gives us that cheap 3rd PG behind Rondo and House. He can also shoot a little. Miami gets an upgraded backup to Chalmers in Diener and Tony Allen can play a little perimeter defense for them backing up D Wade for 5-10mpg. Indiana gets Two nice young prospects at the wing in Wright and Giddens to go along with Brandon Rush.

We keep Brian Scalabrine and Bill Walker. We still need to sign a journeyman 5th big like Swift but our wing upgrades and PG depth is solved. This gives us a solid 9-10 deep rotation for the season that can be readily shortened for the playoffs. We also still have an open roster spot or two if Danny so chooses to steal a body at the end of training camp.

Indy doesn't want to lose any of their guys. As much as I'd love to see Cook here, plus Daniels FINALLY in green, I dont see this working.

I initially had the same feeling, but then I realized that the Pacers have no SG except Brandon Rush and Dahntay Jones. Their SF are the brittle overpaid Mike Dunleavy and Danny Granger.

They are not very athletic or dangerous offensively on the wing beyond Granger. Wright and Walker or Giddens for instance would help their depth and lack of perimeter defensive players.

Can we do a 3 team trade that will net us Dwayne Wade?

Not without including Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce AND Rajon Rondo

Take that back ... I'm sure I've seen a deal that was OK'd by trade checker that might make Pat Riley die of laughter.
