NYK/MEM/IND

[smoothdave1]

NYK receives:

O'Neal, Tinsley, Harrison

IND receives:

Marbury, Lee, Rose, Lowry

MEM receives: Diogu



Why for NYK? They dump Marbury and Rose while adding a true point in Brooklyn native Tinsley and Isiah's favorite player in O'Neal and another big in Harrison

New lineup for NYK if Curry to Miami goes down and Vince lands in NY:

Tinsley, Carter, Richardson, Randolph, O'Neal
Robinson, Crawford, Balkman, Jefferies, Harrison


Why for IND? Pacers enter into the rebuilding process and add young pieces in Lee and Lowry and eventually buy out or trade either Marbury or Rose

New Pacer lineup:

Lowry, Dunleavy, Granger, Lee, Murphy
Diener, Rush, Williams, Rose, Foster


Why for Memphis? With a crowded back-court, they look to add depth up front by adding Diogu and getting something for Lowry while his value is still high

There'd have to be some other long-term value coming back from NY. Just adding in a relatively even Diogu for Lowry swap doesn't help the amount of value NY sends. The Tinsley for Rose swap helps a bit, but not tremendously since Rose isn't even expiring.


Some picks need to be added to make up the difference in being able to play JO and having to buy out Marbury.
