Wash/MN/OKC

[Esohny]

Wash out: Jamison
Wash in: Gomes, Blount, Utah pick

Washington dumps a LOT of salary[and increases their savings by cutting Gomes] and picks up a 1st rounder as part of their inevitable rebuild.

OKC out: Green, Krstic, Harpring
OKC in: Jamison, Hollins

OKC upgrades at the PF spot and adds veteran experience with Jamison.

MN out: Gomes, Blount, Hollins, Utah pick
MN in: Jeff Green, Krstic, Harpring

MN uses Gomes' partially guaranteed contract and the Utah pick to pick up a solid piece in Green.

Wolves would be cut out of this deal.

Wolves would be cut out of this deal.

Possibly, but it would be much more expensive for OKC in that case. And Washington would have to pay Green pretty soon.

Both things you mention are true but I think that Green and Harpering's contract (80% covered, I think) are worth more than Jamison. And that is coming from someone that thinks Green is highly overrated. If they want to combine assests for a big contract player why not go after a younger guy like Kevin Martin?
Just as an example (didn't try it with tradechecker or anything): Green/Harden/Harpering/Krstic For Martin/Thompson/Garcia

They need front court help a lot more, with Durant, Harden, and Westbrook around. Shrug. And not only do I feel like Jamison fits what they need a lot more than Martin, but he'll actually play games for them without breaking his glass appendages, like Martin.

In this specific case, I just feel like both Washington and OKC get better deals with us involved than if they tried to deal directly.

I edited it to include an example. I agree that they need frontcourt help.

Like I said before I don't think OKC does it. And its too good for us. Harpring's contract is worth quite a bit by itself.

OKC passes, Jamison is too old for them.
