Something like that, with cash considerations and 2 of our plethora of 2nd rounders going to Detroit, and cash going to Milwaukee as well. Maybe even a lottery protected 1st to the Bucks. Tried to make it fair but... :dunno:

From the Bucks point of view, Jefferson and Gadzuric for Raef/Outlaw/Channing immediately rids them of some 40-45 million in future payroll for a close level of production, and that huge salary dump + cash/picks makes up the difference in value for the Sessions for Bayless swap. Also it should be noted that Bayless still has 3 more seasons of rookie pay scale that adds up to about 8 million, whereas Sessions could command up to that much as his starting salary on the open market as an restricted free agent this summer.

Detriot, their head coach Michael Curry just doesn't make any time for Maxiell in thier rotation, over the past 5 games he's averaged a measly 10.2 minutes per contest, they just signed him to a long term extension this offseason but if they're not going to play him it may just be in their best interest to trade him for an expiring like Diogu. Combined with cutting a small amount of payroll this season (about half a million), and the rights to Koponen and some second rounders and it might be enough to entice them.

For Portland we take on a lot of salary, but complete the starting lineup and the bench for our future. A Session/Roy/Jefferson/LMA/Oden starting lineup would be fantastic, with amazing youth paired along with a guy in Jefferson who's got a ton of playoff/finals experience. Sessions and Jefferson can both attack the rim and draw FTs, and I think Jefferson especially would be good paired with an unselfish post passer in Oden who looks to hit cutters. Combined with a steady, tough bench of Blake/Rudy/Batum/Maxiell/Pryzbilla and this team has everything it needs for multiple playoff runs. Only thing left to do is find new homes for guys like Sergio and Martell.

Sessions isn't going anywhere, I don't know why people think he is even available. I do wonder why Skiles had him behind Ridnour until now, as I assumed that they let Mo Williams go to make room for Sessions.

Because he's a free agent at the end of the season and the Bucks are over the cap and don't have his full Bird rights.

Good point, I guess I didn't realize that they didn't have his full Bird rights yet. That sucks for them. Doesn't Early-Bird rights help though? I haven't studied the CBA as much as I'd like to think.

Not that I want to give up Rudy OR Outlaw, but this deal is feasible and it's clearly not a ripoff for either team. At this point I'd rather see Webster go than Outlaw, but then again Webster still is young and who knows what he could turn into.

But this one works, and it's not too shabby IMO.

that just isn't a good trade at all. Wallace could be had for much less than Rudy and Travis and Bell has been declining lately.
If we are trading Rudy I want a Butler caliber player coming back..whether that is feasible or not, I don't know..just the value I place on him.

It helps, but it only allows them to go over the cap to re-sign him up to a certain amount, which I believe is the MLE or there-about. If a team offers him more than that, they wouldn't be able to match.

Also because he's a worse defender than Luke, and Skiles loves defensive players.
 
Sergio Rodriguez and Channing Frye for Matt Barnes and Jared Dudley.

No thanks. Trade LMA for Lee, Hinrich and Hill is not building for the future. You almost never win trading down in talent. If LMA goes (doubtful) it would have to be for a top talent. Lee doesn't count.

I'm starting to wonder if Lee isn't a better player than LMA, in a Boozer/David West sort of way.

Lee is a great hustle player, but his stats are inflated by D'Antoni's system.

Quick! Pick out the PER he's accumulated under Mike D'Antoni:

a) 15.4
b) 20.2
c) 18.0
d) 18.9

The correct answer is (d). The other three years are the PERs he got in his first three years.

D'Antoni's system is, once again, being held up as an inflator of a player's stats when, with the correct stats, that is not the case.

Blazers ship out Batum, Travis and Raef for Butler and Thomas.

Why would the Wizards do it? It would be almost purely for financial reasons, but with the huge salary commitments they have invested in Arenas and Jamison and Butler for the next 3 or 4 years they are seriously hamstrung in their ability to make moves and they are going to be major tax payers for the foreseeable future.

The upside to this deal is they get a decent wing prospect coming back in Batum, and an instant contributor in Travis who can play either the 4 or the 3 at a minimal salary commitment of 3.6 mil next season, and they get to dump Etan Thomas' overpaid butt in the process.

Etan Thomas becomes a bad contract and marginal contributor for the Blazers, but is just the cost of doing business to get a player of Butler's caliber

Depth chart for now becomes:
Blake*/Sergio/Bayless
Roy/Rudy
Butler/Webster*
LMA/Frye/Diogu/Randolph (fixed)
Oden/Przybilla/Thomas

*out for who knows how long?

Yes I realize this substantially favors the Blazers from a talent perspective, but when the financial considerations are thrown in it starts to look a lot less far-fetched.

(ps. I would substitute Rudy for Travis if the Wizards insisted on it, which works: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=c7ptfs)

The basic idea has shown up before and is good, but I don't like the Batum addition. I don't think Batum adds much value for Washington, but I hate to see him go since he has shown such a willingness to play defense, handle and pass. I think we would really regret letting him go--especially if Martell doesn't come back strong.

Yeah, I really like Batum's potential too, but if you are trading a guy who could end up being a real stud someday for a guy who is already stud now (and at the same position) I'd just consider it to be the price it takes to get an all-star caliber wing.
