Toronto - Indiana - Orlando
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 7:38 pm
As I was writing in another thread, I though about this possibility.
Battie
Nesterovic
Ford
____to Indiana
Garbajosa
Kapono
Diener
____to Orlando
O'neal
Arroyo
Reddick
____to Toronto
I think picks would have to be thrown in to get it done.
Why???
well, it's abvious for Toronto, as they'd go up a level instantly IMO. They get good interior defense in O'Neal to play beside Bosh, get a solid backup/expiring (whole thread on this one BTW) PG. Tough to give up Kapono though, so Reddick would have to somewhat fill that whole. A somewhat gamble for Toronto, but if it pays off, they'd be a third team alongside Boston and Detroit.
for Orlando... well, they'd need good picks from Toronto (if any) to do this. They do however get what they hope Reddick becomes in Kapono, who could solidify their 2 guard spot (IMO), they get a solid and real PF that is also a good vet and would play off of Howard as he did last year with Bosh... say a better "Oberto to Duncan". And, what can you say, THE RETUNR OF DIENER!!!
Don't really give up much and could recieve more with picks besides the fact that both Kapono and Garbajosa would bring much needed veteranship and consistancy with them, which is basically all they need to get back to the conversations among the eilite in the east.
for Indiana... they get gradual cap relief in the shape of solid big men and they get much needed help at PG with Ford, who could benefit from the style they are currently playing. It's obvious they are in a future mode, and those "gradual" relief (meaning, good expirings both next year (Rasho) and the other year (Battie) is better then one thinks at first glance for possible trades for them.
Thoughts???
