Add-In: ATL 08 pick from PHX to Clippers.


Phoenix: At the expense of Barbosa, get some depth and versatility added to their line up, Maggette is great on the offensive end and I can see him helping the Suns deep into the playoffs. Barbosa somewhat clammed up last post season. Knight provides some relief for Nash and CV procides depth at the PF spot because of his ability to spread the floor.

Milwaukee: Trade CV for Diaw, while getting rid of Bells contract for an expiring.

L.A. Clips: Get Barbosa and Banks combo which will be nice to pair with Livingston when he returns. They also get the ATL 08 pick which is a nice bonus.

Awful for the Bucks. This is basically swapping Bell's contract for Diaw's contract and trading CV for an expiring.

good trade eventhough it's unlikely the clippers would take on banks' contract. i think the suns may have to give their own pick to the bucks b/c they're taking on a ton of salary and diaw isn't exactly living up to this contract.

Suns don't have their own pick.

I'd take this deal, Banks contract may be lengthy, but it's not a large amount. Adding a pick is always nice and Barbosa could be the type of player we need next to Elton and Chris.

Bucks pass though, Clippers can add rights to Sofo to Milwaukee if it'll do anything for them :D

Trade doesn't work under the RealGM trade checker.

Bucks take on 10.2 mln while giving out 5.8 mln - does not compute.
