Successful Scenario Due to New Jersey, Orlando, Memphis and L.A. Lakers being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New Jersey, Orlando, Memphis and L.A. Lakers had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. this trade would be so amazing for us...while the grizzlies would be clearing an ish load of capspace, and getting a replacement for miller in hedo...the nets get 2 scoring threats in gasol and hill, while the lakers get 2 solid big men, and their man in kidd...of course this is a pipedream, but imagine a line up of: pg-nelson sg-carter sf-miller pf-darko c-dwight bench- odom ariza redick dooling jones can you say dominance?????

Orlando and Seattle had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. we would also throw in next years second rounder, then ship garrity for dale davis so this is what we would look like healthy: PG-nelson/dooling/diener SG-allen/redick SF-turkoglu/ariza PF-milicic/battie/outlaw C-howard/davis/fortson after this year, davis' and fortson's contracts come off the books, which gives us space to re-sign darko, and offer hill a veteran's minimum deal, which he would accept, and then extend dwight and nelson, then ship out hedo, dooling, diener and our first round pick next year to the bobcats for their first rounder this year and brevin knight, get joakim noah with that pick, and with our second rounder we get the 6'8'' 198 lb. kid from croatia in marko tomas, then sign minor players keith van horn (helps with the floor spreading along with ray and jj), and mutombo to give us some more experience (along with van horn, hill, outlaw, battie), and see what you can pick up via camp, because there is usually 1 or 2 good players in TC every year. so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, your 2007-2008, orlando magic PG-nelson/knight/tomas SG-allen/redick/(TRAINING CAMP PLAYER) SF-ariza/hill/van horn PF-milicic/battie/outlaw C-howard/noah/mutombo i think this team could go all the way, i mean look at it, we have downlow bangers in dwight/noah/darko, we have 3 point shooters in allen/jj/jameer/van horn, we have defenders in ariza/mutombo/dwight/darko/noah, we have team players in knight/tomas/nelson/dwight/allen (and pretty much the whole team), and we have hustle players in outlaw/ariza/deke/battie
