Miami receives
Anthony Parker
Maurice Williams
Dan Gadzuric
Toronto receives
Michael Redd
Royal Ivey
Awvee Storey
Alexander Johnson
David Noel
Milwaukee receives
Jose Calderon
Daequan Cook
Carlos Delfino
Juan Dixon
Jorge Garbajosa
Ricky Davis
Jason Williams
Toronto 2008 first round pick
Why for Milwaukee? This deal helps them rebuild big time. Jose Calderon is a fit for Milwaukee, he is also fairly young allowing him to grow with Bogut, Charlie V and Yi. Cook and Delfino give Milwaukee two more young prospects. Delfino has really come around this year and looks like he is ready to take on a starting role. Dixon, Davis and Williams, give Milwaukee a combined 19 million in expiring contracts, while Jorge's contract could potentially be covered by insurance. If Jorge returns he is an excellent glue guy to have on the team, and his deal expires next season. The first round pick will be in the late teens to early 20's. This deal allows Milwaukee to pursue a younger guard in the offseason with guys like Ben Gordon, Andre Iguodala, Loul Deng, Gilbert Arenas available.
Why for Miami? They address all three needs, and at the cost of two expiring contracts and a young prospect. Parker gives Miami a solid 3pt shooter, something they lack since Kapono left. Parker is also an excellent defender and would fit nicely next to Wade at the 3. Mo Williams gives Miami the third scoring option they are looking for to complement Wade and Shaq. Gadz has a big contract, but is young and extremely athletic. He would be a solid backup to Shaq and give the Heat a shot-blocking and rebounding presence off the bench.
Why for Toronto? They clearly get the best player in the deal, but give up a lot of depth. Redd is a missing piece that could make Toronto a legit contender. Toronto moves several young players in the deal. Calderon is a very underrated PG, but Toronto is better off moving him, than TJ Ford who is probably now wort 50 cent to the dollar.
Lineups
Milwaukee - Not really relevant, as they are primarily going for cap space, however the team will be significantly revamped in the off-season. They should also get a really high pick in this years draft.
