I'm not too good with trades, but how about this..

[DavidSomerset]

Atlanta Hawks send:

PG Speedy Claxton

SG Salim Stoudamire

2009 1st rounder**

To the Indiana Pacers for:

F/C Jeff Foster

SG Kareem Rush

---------------------------------

** I'm not sure if we can trade this pick or not because of the rule about trading 1st round picks in successive years, but if we can't, then assume the 2010 1st rounder...And if we can't do that for some reason, then I guess this trade won't work...

Foster gives us some beef down low, and Rush gives us a VERY good 3 pt. shooter off the bench.

We don't even really need the future 1st with how our team is looking and I think this would make us a SERIOUS contender in the East...Here's how we'd look.

Bibby/Law/West

JJ/Rush/Richardson

Marvin/Chillz/Richardson

Smoove/Foster

Horford/Zaza/Foster

Not bad...

But consider sending ZaZa/Salim/2nd rder/rights to David Anderson/ham sandwich/zippo next year for Foster. I like the idea of Foster but with O'Neal out indef. I can't see why Indy trades Foster. Really awesome rebounder though.
