UTA/IND/ORL/MIN/HOU 5-team role-player trade
Posted: Mon Jan 7, 2008 4:17 pm
Utah
out: Jarron Collins, Jason Hart, Ronnie Price, future 2nd
in: Mike James, Adonal Foyle, cash from IND
They upgrade their backup PG and backup C at the same time, and get some cash from Indy to cover some of the extra salaries they take on.
Rotation:
Okur/Foyle/Fes
Boozer/Millsap
AK/Korver/Harpring
Brewer/Miles
DWill/James
Indiana
out: Troy Murphy, Stephen Graham, Travis Diener, cash, future 2nd
in: Jarron Collins, Jason Hart, Greg Buckner, JJ Redick
They get out of Murphy's contract, while getting a good defensive PG in Hart, and a defensive wing in Buckner to boost their perimeter defense. Redick is a young SG who may flourish under O'Brien's offense.
Rotation:
Foster/Harrison/Collins
JO/Diogu/Williams
Granger/Buckner
Dunleavy/Daniels/Redick
(Tinsley)/Hart/Owens
Orlando
out: Tony Battie, Carlos Arroyo, Brian Cook, JJ Redick, Adonal Foyle, 2008 1st
in: Troy Murphy, Marko Jaric, Ryan Gomes, Travis Diener, Steve Novak, IND future 2nd, UTA future 2nd
They go for more help for Dwight Howard. Murphy's rebounding will ease Howard's burden a bit, and his 3-pt range will make him an instant fit on the team. Jaric's unselfishness and passing skills will make him a great complement for Nelson, and his versatility will allow him to get many minutes as well. Gomes' will be a great boost for their bench, adding hustle and rebounding as well as some scoring. They also bring back fan favorite Diener. They get 2 future 2nd rounders to offset the loss of their late 1st. They will be an extremely deep team that can make a deep run into the playoffs.
Rotation:
Howard/Murphy/Augustine
Murphy/Gomes/Lewis/Novak
Lewis/Turkoglu/Evans
Jaric/Bogans/Dooling
Nelson/Jaric/Diener
Minnesota
out: Marko Jaric, Greg Buckner, Ryan Gomes
in: Tony Battie, Stephen Graham, Ronnie Price, 2008 ORL 1st
They dump Jaric for Battie, who can be useful alongside Al next season. Graham and Price are just fillers. They get a late 1st from Orlando as well.
Rotation:
(Battie)/Al/Theo/Richard/Doleac
Al/Smith/Walker
Brewer/Green
McCants/Graham
(Foye)/Telfair/Price
Houston
out: Mike James, Steve Novak
in: Brian Cook, Carlos Arroyo
This gives them a pure PG in Arroyo to backup Alston. They also swap James for a slightly smaller deal of Cook's to save $$ from next season on. Cook can be a good fit alongside Yao with his shooting abilities at PF.
Rotation:
Yao/Scola/Mutombo
Hayes/Cook
Battier/Wells
T-Mac/Head
Alston/Arroyo
