Can Danny?

- We swing a three team deal with Atlanta and the Lakers
The Hawks get: Andrew Bynum, Kwame Brown, Gerald Green, Delonte West and a draft pick
The Lakers gets: Al Harrington, Wally Szczerbiak, Kendrick Perkins
The Celtics gets: Lamar Odom, Josh Smith, Tyronn Lue.
So essentially we move Wally, Green, West, Perkins, and a draft pick for Odom, Josh Smith, Tyronn Lue.
I'd love to hold onto Gerald but I think Josh Smith is a better prospect and ready to win this season. I'd first offer Tony Allen instead of Gerald but I can't see that happening. We'd probably have to haggle over the first round pick. I don't really want to give up the 2007 pick and I'm guessing Atlanta would want nothing to do with the Minnesota pick. In the end, I'd be willing to give up the 2007 pick but there'd have to be some protections on it. The only way I'd remove protections is if we could replace Gerald with Tony.

- Trade Al Jefferson for Robert Swift.

- We then use the MLE on defensive players Aaron Williams and Bernard Robinson.

Our rotation is:

• C: Ratliff, Swift, Jones
• PF: Odom, Williams, Powe
• SF: Smith, Gomes, Robinson
• SG: Pierce, Allen, Ray
• PG: Telfair, Lue, Rondo

Italicized players are inactive.

We have solid defensive players on the bench and a nice offensive trio of Odom, Pierce, and Telfair. Josh Smith is a do-everything guy who can score but who won't be forced to add a ton of offense. If we could move Ratliff and Jefferson for a better big man I'd be for it but I'm wary of adding long term contracts with Smith and Telfair needing to be resigned in the near future.
