    BC has turned a 3rd-string point guard and a free agent into a serviceable, young big man. Kudos.

    What does that roster look like after this trade? is it

    Calderon/Jack/Banks
    Belinelli/DeRozan/Douby
    Hedo/Wright
    Bosh/Evans/Johnson
    Bargnani/Nesterovic/O'Bryant

    That team looks pretty solid, borderline 2nd round playoff team? I mean Amir Johnson isn't putting us over the top but he makes us more balanced and is a solid rebounder which helps.

    your missing Seems I assume you think they'll waive him but seeing some highlights of him I think his as athletic as DeRozan
    have a look at this:

    I didn't realize he was only 22. Still pretty young. It's basically like picking up an early 2nd round prospect.

    That looks pretty accurate. DeRozan, Wright, Jack, and Bellinelli will most likely play multiple positions, but I think they'll be pencilled in like that for the depth chart. I'm guessing they waive Weems or whoever the 2nd player is in this trade, and sign another SF to a minimum contract.

    One issue I've read about at times is about Milwaukee's ability to trade Johnson and Weems. Since Amir just came from a trade with Detroit, he can't be traded again until sometime next week. Weems is unmovable until October apparently. I don't know how that gets solved, or if its even a problem for BC.

    Some outsider insight, from a Pistons blogger (for Amir) and an Arkansas blogger (for Weems):
