out: Tracy McGrady, Mike James, Kirk Snyder, Carl Landry, Luther Head
in: Mehmet Okur, Richard Jefferson, Jason Williams, Morris Almond
T-Mac has made it be known that he is unhappy in Houston, and it's clear that he and Yao just don't fit with each other. It's impossible that the Houston FO will trade Yao, so T-Mac has to be the one who goes. They get a replacement for him in Jefferson, who should be an excellent fit with Adelman's Princeton offense. Okur's shooting ability should help spread the floor for Yao. They also get JWill, who is experienced with running Adelman's offense and should be an adequate backup here. Almond gives them a good prospect at SG in the future.
Rotation:
Yao/Okur/Mutombo
Okur/Scola/Hayes
Jefferson/Battier
Wells/Almond
Alston/JWill
Utah
out: Mehmet Okur, Morris Almond, Ronnie Price
in: Sean Williams, Luther Head, Jason Collins, Kirk Snyder (cut)
With the acquisition of Kyle Korver, Okur's has become even more expendable, especially with his current struggles putting him in Sloan's doghouse. They address their problems with interior defense with a shot-blocking big in Sean Williams. DWill reunites with college buddy Luther Head, while we also see the reunion of the Collins twins
Rotation:
Sean Williams/Fes/Collins twins
Boozer/Millsap
AK/Korver/Harpring
Brewer/Head/Miles
DWill/Head/Hart
Miami
out: Jason Williams, Smush Parker, Alexander Johnson, future 2nd
in: Mike James, Mickael Pietrus, Ronnie Price
James gives them more stability and health at PG position. Pietrus provides them depth at SG/SF, while Ronnie Price gives them an option and insurance as their 3rd string PG
Rotation:
Shaq/Barron
Haslem/Wright
Pietrus/Wright
Wade/Cook
James/Quinn/Price
New Jersey
out: Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins, Sean Williams
in: Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry
They reunite T-Mac with his cousin Carter to try to create some new spark and draw some more crowd. Landry gives them some depth at PF after losing two big in the trade
Rotation:
Boone/Magloire
Allen/Landry
T-Mac/Nachbar
Carter/Wright
Kidd/Williams
Golden State
out: Mickael Pietrus
in: Smush Parker, Alexander Johnson, MIA future 2nd
With Azubuike and Belinelli on the team, Pietrus doesn't seem to have a role there. They get an expiring and a pick, and Alexander Johnson who is a no-risk tryout to see if he can help their rebounding woes.
Rotation:
Biedrins/Harrington
Harrington/Johnson/Barnes
Jackson/Barnes
Azubuike/Belinelli
Davis/Ellis/Parker
