Why for Orlando? The Magic pick up a good SG and a young decent pf in Khryapa. Duhon is just added to make salaries match. But he brings a more defensive minded PG.

Why for Chicago? They get their PF without having to give up Gordon, or Deng and get to keep draft picks. They also pull in a defense minded SG who can shoot the 3.

Why for Memphis? They get a good SG/SF in Noce, another young and coming SF/PF in Thomas and close to 13 mil in expiring contracts.. Which makes them MAJOR players in this summers FA market.. Which is a good one.

Orlando Sends

Maurice Evans

Philly sends

Reggie Evans (Expiring)

Why for Orlando? The Magic need another PF who can rebound and play okay defense.. Evans brings that..

Why for Philly? Philly is not in it to win it this year. They are getting their young guys PT and trying to get rid of as many contracts as possible.

Not even a " wow, you're an idiot..don't ever make a trade thread again!"

Grizz decline. Either Gasol or Miller is being traded for just expirings in this deal - which isn't enough to get it done from Memphis' prespective (at least if you believe the GM's comments in the local press).

what a steal from Orlando

Miller is worth more than a late pick and expirings

Maurice Evans is the expiring. Not Reggie Evans. But we will do both trades. Of course lol.

This is a no brainer for the Bulls:

1. Hinrich, Gordon
2. Bogans, Gordon, Sefolosha
3. Deng, Sefolosha, Griffin
4. Gasol, Smith, Noah
5. Wallace, Noah, Gray

But Cliff Levingston agrees that Memphis doesn't do it.
