-Add a description if you can on why you think the trade should go down
cats/heat/okc
1. reason why it will not happen. okc and miami are not interested in helping each other out.
cats out: diop (7.6 expiring), blazers pick
cats in: joel anthony (3.8 for 3y), mike miller (6.2 avg for 3 y), raptors pick (top 3, top 2, top 1 and unprotected by year) from okc, jeremy lamb or perry jones (okc chooses)
miami out: anthony, miller and philly pick
miami in: kendrick perkins (8.5 avg for 3 years)
okc out: perkins, either jones or lamb, raptors pick
okc in: diop, philly pick (lotto protected 3 years, then it becomes 2 seconds in 2015 and 16), blazers pick
potential changes: i would add mulley back to thunder if they give us the choice of pj or lamb or switch it to the detroit pick and mulley for both players.
why for cats: take on salary but get a much better draft pick. potential two top 5 picks in either this draft or next. we need to spend the money anyway and this keeps us from playing ourselves out of the top 10 picks. we could probably arrange a favorable buyout for miller and/or anthony or trade anthony later. plus we add one (maybe two) great young assets.
why for miami: lose dead weight salary. miller is completely redundant and injury prone and at 6 mil for three years very expensive with miami already in the LT. add perkins who is one of the better interior big defenders for the playoffs, when size matters (grizz in particular). don't think they have a problem giving up philly's pick as it will either be not used or be a late first which are expensive when you are already in the LT.
why for okc: get out of perk's deal to save money later on and keep from having to amnesty him. reposition assets. they get a little less exciting as assets but the move saves a ton of money and gives added flexibility for title runs now.
Great deal for the Bobcats and the Heat, not so sure if the Thunder would go through with it. Perkins deserves more credit than you gave him.

What about this one?
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=c8pax33
Bobcats out: Gerald Henderson, DeSagana Diop
Bobcats in : Travis Outlaw, James Johnson, Tony Wroten
Sacramento out: Demarcus Cousins, Travis Outlaw, James Johnson
Sacramento in : Kendrick Perkins, Gerald Henderson, Quincy Pondexter, Perry Jones III
Oklahoma City out: Kendrick Perkins, Nick Collison, Perry Jones III
Oklahoma City in : Desagana Diop, Demarcus Cousins
Memphis out: Quincy Pondexter, Tony Wroten
Memphis in : Nick Collison
I know this trade is doomed to fail, mainly because Cousins is in it, but I like it for the Bobcats.

i was so confused as to where gerald wallace came from then clicked the link and see you meant hendo.Originally Posted by isguros
as it is,
terrible for the kings. one because of cousins and only getting back perkins. but they are overfilled at sg so hendo is of no use to them. they would also need the toronto pick from okc to even consider it. maybe swap out tyreke to us? don't think they go for it, evans is crazy overrated for all the garbage he brings.
basically, this is horrible for us outside of the prospect of wroten. we would need at least a pick from okc or a stashed pick from memphis for facilitating this trade. okc makes out like bandits. basically a terrible contract in perkins and an enormous upgrade at center and all they have to throw in is pj3.
I like this trade a lot for us. But no way the kings will get rid of Big Cuz, dude has hella potential he's the 2nd best center in the league (minus Bynum)
Why does anyone like this trade? Outlaw is an average underachiever. James Johnson turning into a journeyman and doesnt add that much. Wroten is an okay prospect but nothing special. I know this gets us rid of Diop, but why not just wait and amnesty him next year.
Also lets not forget about Perkins, OKC were happier to get rid of Harden than trade or Amnesty Perks. He is massive to that team in more ways than numbers, he has taught the team toughness and togetherness. There would be a lockeroom revolt if he was simply traded away for a headcase like Cousins.
On other news, anyone see the Kings being interested in a simple swap of Henderson for T- Robinson?
They have Thompson locked up long term and don't really have a strong defensive 2 guard- I am not sure how much the Kings like Robinson with his below average start to the season.

Go easy on me, I'm from England, and no... I Don't love the Queen.
they are seriously considering amnestying him next year to avoid the tax
Chef, no way OKC gives up all of that just to clear some cap room.
Isguros, I don't think there's any way SAC considers that trade for Cousins

what if a 4th team was added.
we ship hendo to the wolves and derrick williams goes to okc. the philly pick goes to minn.
so if you are okc it is: perkins, lamb and toronto pick for diop, williams and blazers pick.
for us it is: hendo and diop and blazers pick for anthony, miller, lamb and toronto pick.
for minn: it is derrick williams for hendo and philly pick
for miami: anthony, miller and philly pick for perkins
i think that is beneficial for everyone involved.
