Nate Robinson(exp), Harden, Ibaka, Perkins for Dwight Howard.
Orlando gets very good talent that is also young and would remain competitive with that front line. OKC would have the REAL big 3 and still have roleplayers leftover in Thabo and Collison plus the rest of the offseason to plug holes.
Bickerstaff: who's up for kickball?!!
Ed Wood: Only if it's the no-pants variety.

I think the Cavs have to take Irving at 1 and the Wolves Williams at 2(even they trade him).
Utah probably drafts Knight or Walker if they use the pick for themselves. However the Cavs don't and likely want Kanter a lot more than the other options. So the Jazz could draft Kanter and get a decent return to move down one spot.
Sitting at 4 they still have the PG options on the board. If they decide to go with Devin Harris next year, they really could keep on wheeling and dealing. They probably get a little from the Raptors, so they can pick the 2nd PG on their board. At that point I think the Kings are very interested in moving up from 7 to 5 to pick the remaining to PG.
And all these moves would not take into account doing anything with the 12th pick.
Parker says that age has finally caught up with the Spurs.
"At the start of the season I said this was our last chance," he said.
"Tim and Gino (Manu Ginobili) are getting old. It's going to be tough to regenerate ourselves.
"We will always have a good team but we can no longer say that we're playing for a championship."

Could Parker now try to force a trade? It would certainly be easier for NY to get him than Chris Paul, and he'd be easier on their future salary cap. Parker for Billups works straight up and would give the Spurs a vet PG to make one last run with and then the cap room in 2012 to start rebuilding.

I'd like to see the Wizards bring in John Thompson in a similar role. I mean he is here, and has a ton on knowledge, why not utilize it?

The Lakers have put together a deal to hire former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as their new coach, an NBA official who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter said late Tuesday.
If Brown agrees to the deal, he'll sign a contract worth between $4 million and $4.5 million per season, the official said. Brown would sign for three years, with a team option on the fourth season that would give him partial pay if he was not retained.
Brown, 41, became the front-runner because Jim Buss, the team's executive vice president of player personnel, was impressed with his defense-minded style.

He is not an exciting hire, but he seemed to be a decent coach with the Cavs.
