The more I think about this deal, the more I like it. Just make it fast, before I get all attached to Wayne Ellington.
Hunter for Songalia + rights to #28
FOR DEN, they're contenders and it gives them increased production and helps fill their short roster.
FOR MIN, I understand they wouldn't sell the pick for $3 mil to the Knicks, but this saves them a lot more, in the right places too:
Songalia 4,526,000 4,818,000
Ellington 836,300 899,000
Steven Hunter ($3,696,000 expiring)
2009: MIN SAVES $1.67 mil ($0.9 mil TPE)
2010: MIN SAVES $5.72 in 2010 (all added to 2010 raw cap space -- takes us over $20 mil.)

MIN SAVES $7.4 mil
