Detroit trades:
Billups, Prince, Maxiell

Detroit receives:
Odom, Jefferson, #13, #33

Why for Detroit? They upgrade scoring at the SF position, they upgrade rebounding at the PF position... Add a late lotto pick and pave the way for Stuckey to start at PG next season.

C:Sheed/Dice
F:Odom/Amir
F:Jefferson/#29 or #33
G:RIP/AA
G:Stuckey/#13

Portland trades:
LaFrentz, Outlaw, #13, #33

Portland receives:
Billups

Why for Portland? They land a top 5 PG to pair with Roy to make the best starting backcourt in the NBA. This move pushes them into the top 5 in the West and makes them potential championship contenders.

LA Lakers trade:
Odom

LA Lakers receive:
Prince, Swift

Why for LA? This balances our their roster. I couldn't think of a more perfect SF to plug into this lineup than Prince, who is a great glue guy and completely unselfish. This will help them if they were to matchup with the Celtics in the finals again too, as Prince and Kobe should be able to defend Pierce/Allen better than anyone.

New Jersey trades:
Richard Jefferson, Stromile Swift

New Jersey receives:
LaFrentz, Outlaw, Maxiell

Why for New Jersey? They reportedly would like to dump Jefferson and Carter, and want to have max capspace for 2010. This gives them a huge expiring contract and two very solid young players. I don't think they could ask for much more if they want to move Jefferson.

I know most portland fans wont like this, but i really do. Billups will really take us to another level

i think we could ask for a pick...Jefferson is a borderline all-star...i do like Outlaw and Maxiell as solid prospects, but neither of them is close to the level that RJ is on...i would want a pick and i would consider...either give us #13 or get a 4th team to swap out maybe Boone or Marcus and one of Outlaw or Maxiell maybe to get another lotto pick

Lakers are in.


gives us defense and another bigman off the bench. Swift at least plays with energy, right?

the Lakers legendary bigman (not Bynum so chill out) might be able to help Swift time his blocks better.


Bynum/Swift/Turiaf
Gasol/Radmanovic/Turiaf
Prince/Walton/Ariza
Kobe/Sasha/Ariza
Fisher/Farmar/Sasha

If you don't want Maxiell perhaps Detroit keeps him, NJ gets #13 and gives Detroit their late pick at #21.

I do think perhaps that a little more should come from LA and or Portland.

Perhaps #36 from Portland as they get the best player in the trade and don't give up much other than an expiring and picks.

Perhaps a few future seconds from the Lakers, which aren't much but could be something added to either Detroit or NJ.
