HOU-SEA-ORL

Houston trades: Battier and 2008 lottery protected pick

Houston gets: Hedo Turkoglu


Image

Seattle trades: Kurt Thomas, Earl Watson

Seattle gets: Redick, Arroyo (exp), Garrity (exp) and Houston's 2008 lottery protected pick


Image

Orlando trades: Redick, Turkoglu, Arroyo and Garrity

Orlando gets: Thomas, Watson and Battier



Houston upgrades their roster with Hedo, who's a very good shooter, creates opportunities for teammates and for himself, has great size and I think he'll complement Yao very good. Houston does downgrade defensively.

Seattle basically get's rid of a big contract while getting a young SG in Redick and picking up a decent pick in 2008's draft.

Orlando gets some defense and gets a true PF to move Lewis back to his natural position SF. They do lose some creativity and scoring.

not a bad trade overall...i'd miss Turk, but we get a few decent additions in the role player area to bolster the bench...Seattle gets a pretty good deal, not sure if H-Town does it...but, it would spread the floor for them quite a bit, give them some more outside prowess...

Hmm I'm not entirely sure the Magic would go for it. Hedo is having a pretty impressive season so far.

Quality trade all around. The pick might be the deal breaker for Houston although I think they would love to get Turkoglu (Adelman)

well, i think Orlando would do it...from a fans prospective...and as for the pick from Houston, honestly, Hedo should draw more value than Battier and a 2nd rounder, so they would be lucky to get an offer like that IMO...Hedo is no slouch on defense, he's tall, can legitimately play the 3 and 4 and can play the 2 against taller guards...

not to mention his range and his play making...

idk...pretty quality trade on all 3 sides...

It's a good deal for us. I would take a lot of time to consider it though. I'm at a borderline yes.

With this trade the Sonics would have three 1st round picks in June. Difficult to imagine taking on three 1st round rookies, let alone one of the four 2nd rounders they also have. So I'm willing to bet they'd be more than willing to toss in two of latter (Denver's, Portland's, New Orleans') or their own 2nd round pick if that's what it took to make the deal work.

Orlando becomes kick-your-ass tough after this deal.
