If McGrady can get healthy, he may have a lot more trade value at the 2010 trade deadline than the three headed Cardinal/Miller/Madsen.
Depending on who we draft, I would probably support your trade.
I think a 20m+ contract has far less trade value. It's harder to match up contracts within range. Much easier to make a trade with 9 + 2 + 7 which would allow mn to trade for players anywhere in the range of 8m-22m due to the ability to mix and match in size, TMacs huge expiring can only get contracts back in the 18-23m.
