TRADES
Moute & Two 2nds –ORL- oquinn moore harkless
Ersan udoh –PHX- gortat 1st-lp
Harkless two 1sts –LAC- Bledsoe
Gortat –CHI- Deng – Bulls save $6m & avoid lux tax
* It is a risk trading for Bledsoe as he hasn’t faced the test of time, but given the limited options, he’s clearly has the most upside.
* Despite huge talent discrepancy, Chicago almost swapped Boozer for Bargnani to save $5mil & avoid luxury tax. Their payroll goes up next season. They need to dump salary.
* Reddick’s best buddy on Magic was rookie late 1st pick Kyle O’Quinn a burly 6’10 PF who
has some upside. Make JJ feel good.
* Gortat is disgruntled. Suns were shopping him at deadline.

Resign Reddick as last transaction.
Let all FAs walk
Clearly there is no way BJ deserves $12-13mil for his inefficient, can’t finish, moodiness.
He’ll go to a big market anyway.
I don’t believe JSmith will sign w/ us. Houston or Phoenix will. Or some S&T.
