Heat receive T. Thomas

Clippers receives Banks and a filler to make nos. work (like Quinn, Baron, Lasme or Powell)


For the Heat, its not about the talent their getting in this trade but the cap space for 2010. Heat will probably buyout or waive TT if they think he doesdn't fit or because of the load at the position.

For the Clipps, they get a good back-up PG who can defend. The trade also free up at least $1m to add to their current cap space.

The Clippers have no interest in either Banks or Blount, even if Tim Thomas is being traded.

The Clipps already got Brevin Knight to back up Baron Davis.
Banks has shown nothing so far and his contract isn't great as well.

So i doubt that the Clippers would ever trade for a guy like that.
