Dal out: Roddy, Marion, Kaman, Da. Jones
Dal in: Howard
Reasons: Duh
La out: Howard
La in: Gay, Roddy, Mem future pick(s), Dal future pick
Reasons: Gay & Roddy both would fit into Mike D's style of play. Only question, is it enough for LA to bite.
Mem out: Gay
Mem in: Marion, Kaman, Da. Jones
Reasons: Mem has made it known that they just want to cut salary. They should be able to cut over 8mil when Kaman and Jones come of the books in off-season.
***************************************************************************************************************************
Dal out: Marion, Kaman
Dal in: Howard
Reasons: Duh again
La out: Howard
La in: Jefferson, Marion (ALT: replace with Milsap), Mo Williams
Reasons: All would fit into Mike D's style of play. I think this is a sufficient haul for LA.
Utah out: Jefferson, Mo Williams (ALT: Milsap)
Utah in: Gasol, Kaman, Dallas future pick (ALT: add Marion)
Reasons: Utah is going to lose more talent this off-season than they can replace. They will not get better player than Gasol in free-agency.

@Imon - Brooklyn will be over the salary cap next year. I don't think Howard is interested in signing there for vet minimum.
Absolutely no way to turn that crap into Dwight Howard. Your scenarios have other teams giving up better players and assets. Why wouldn't they just trade for Howard themselves?
Sorry but those trades are so lopsided it's not even funny. Kaman + Marion = Howard... lol. A 31 year old injury prone center that's an expiring contract and a 34 year old. Howard is arguably the best center in the NBA and a top 5 player.
I find it hard to believe you think those are realistic trades and that you could turn Kaman and Marion into Howard. Even with an added 1st round pick it's not even close to equal value. Especially since it will be a mid-round pick. Adding to it being a mid-round pick, it's a weak draft. It could be the #1 pick and it's still not that amazing because there is no projected superstar.
