Houston looking to move Dalembert. Proposed trade.

[Yogi]

Houston sends #16 to Boston
Boston sends #21 and #22 to Houston
Houston then trades #22 and Dalembert to the Lakers for their LO trade exception.

Houston wants to get rid of Dalembert, LA wants to get in the first round, Boston looking to move up in the draft. 

[snively]

Do you have a link saying they are looking to move him?

EDIT: my bad, just saw the Kyler report.

Both firsts to move up 5 spots? Danny would have to be really hot for someone on the board at that point.

I was thinking of a straight deal between LA and Houston, involving Dallie and the #16 (and sweetener) for Gasol.

Houston looking to move Dalembert, but I don't think that necessarily means they're looking to give anything up to move him.

Dalembert is 7 million this season, 7 million next. There are a lot of teams out there who would jump pretty high at the chance to get a starting defensive center at 7 million for 1 more season.

Houston also has the 14th pick.  Maybe Danny can persuade them into giving us #14 for 21 and 22.

Dallie's contract isn't fully guaranteed either. His ability aside, any team looking to shed payroll would also be interested in acquiring him.

Is there a deal involving Josh Smith that makes sense for both sides?

Where are you getting that salary info?  What I have seen, he is on the books for just $7 million (ish) next season...and that is only guaranteed for $1.5 million.  Making him a very valuable (essentially) expiring contract.

My guess is they are trying to use him to move up, by taking on someones bad contract.

I don't think Houston wants salary back, and I doubt teams with cap space are jumping at Dalembert.

2 for 1.  Can no one see the irrationality of this?

I phrased that wrong. By this season I meant like..now. THe one that is almost over.

So next season its 7 million, I didn't even know it was partially guaranteed.

If got 2 twenty dollar bills, I'd gladly take one 50 dollar bill.

What about this:

Atlanta trades Josh Smith and #23
Houston trades Dalembert, Marcus Morris, and #16

Atlanta finally gets a C to allow Horford to move to PF, moves up in the draft, and unloads an unhappy Smith.

Houston gets a talent upgrade at PF. They can then look to move Scola and parts (Lowry?) to LA for Gasol.

Maybe, Biedrins + #7 for Dalembert + #16?

Ah, right.  Basically, the bottom line is that Dalembert is guaranteed $1.5 million, but can be traded for a salary of $10.5 million.  That is very valuable.

Maybe, Biedrins + #7 for Dalembert + #16?

Interesting. Pretty hefty price tag to move up those 9 spots.
