i just think that swapping Battie and Blount is redundant for Miami, if your trying to make capspace than why take back Battie? why not deal Blount and another piece somewhere else?

because our 1st preferance is just haslem and blount for expirings but since you guys wont do it for financial reasons, a battie blount swap would be necessary because blount makes 3-4 mil more than battie and that saves us more money while not obliterating your cap

idk man, that deal puts Orlando way over the cap for the next 2 seasons, and we would still have to work on replacing 2 guys which isnt that hard, but for the MLE it sucks for quality...

Although I like some of the trade ideas here, since we do Have Battie coming back(unless we trade him). How about some simple moves like:
Trade ID #4497643
Garrity for Zaza

just a thought... He gives us rebounds and somewhat of a defensive presence, and is definitely at the right price if we can pick him up for Garrity...

No real loss on our side, and heck the Hawks might even USE Garrity!

How is Atlanta doing with cap space for next year? If they are in need of expirings a fair deal would be:

Turk, JJ, Aroyo, Garrity

for

Joe Johnson, Shelden Williams

We solve our SG issue, move Lewis to SF position where he suppose to play and get young quality PF to help Dwight.

Atlanta moves unused Williams and get best player in a deal (based on this year). Redick for Williams swap seems to be fair deal. Atlanta also gets expirings to go after Iguodala after this season.

now way they deal joe johnson to us for that ... they value him pretty high... it would make our roster look real good but it wouldnt happen... we would have to probably include at least one first... but i dont think either team would even think about doing it
Summertime and the livin's easy....

We still need a big but our backcourt would be decent.

^ That seems much better, even though I dont like losing Turk or JJ.

I'm not sure we need drastic improvement in the areas of scoring to need Joe johnson. would it be sick? Yes, necessary... Not if we have Lewis Turk JJ and D12 demanding the ball all the time already.

I honestly dont know that much about Sheldon. I just remembered Zaza's hustle from back in the day. Seriously I think if we could trade for all some or all of the available Magic Alumn our team would be insane though...

what do you think it would it take to just get williams?
