On Truth About It, a Wizards blog on ESPN's TrueHoop network, one of the guys proposed a four-team trade. What do you guys think?

> NEW JERSEY NETS GET: Dwight Howard & Quentin Richardson
[give up B. Lopez, M. Okur, A. Morrow & four 1st rounders: theirs in '12, '14, '16 & Houston's in '12]

> ORLANDO MAGIC GET: JaVale McGee, Mehmet Okur, Anthony Morrow, Washington’s 2012 1st rounder (unprotected), New Jersey’s 2014 & 2016 1st rounders
[give up D. Howard, Q. Richardson]

> WASHINGTON WIZARDS GET: Brook Lopez, DeMarcus Cousins, Francisco Garcia (and either Houston’s 2012 1st rounder via New Jersey or New Jersey’s own 2012 1st rounder; better pick goes to Kings).
[give up J. Crawford, A. Blatche, J. McGee, 2012 1st rounder]

> SACRAMENTO KINGS GET: Damion James, Jordan Crawford, Andray Blatche (and either Houston’s 2012 1st rounder via New Jersey or New Jersey’s own 2012 1st rounder; worse pick goes to Wizards – NOTE: Sacramento doesn’t have its own 2012 1st rounder, it belongs to Cleveland).
[give up D. Cousins, F. Garcia]


Wizards have expressed interest in Cousins, and if there's one player Cousins wants to play for it's probably his old friend John Wall. I personally like this deal, but don't see anyone taking Blatche. Needs some tweaks, but NBA Trade Machine is down.

That would leave how much in cap room after this season? 8 million or so if Humphries isn't re-signed? With a depth chart as such:

Williams/Farmar
Brooks/Richardson
Richardson/Williams
Humphries/Williams
Howard/Petro

With no high picks coming, and no real assets to trade, that team isn't very good. I could see them making the ECF's, but I don't see them being able to knock off the Heat unless Brooks turns into Kobe Bryant.
