3way Snt, Kaman+billups, Needs Work

[hussamga]

So everyone says we need a C or quality replacement for smoove if he moves...so i thought about this one. Someone help me out with the numbers+fillers to make it work?

Hawks send Bibby (14.5m) + Smoove (starting 10m,avg 12)= 19.5m out(?)

Hawks receive Kaman (9.5m) + Billups (11m) = 20m in

Clippers send Kaman (9.5m)

Clippers receive Amir (3.5m) + McDyess (6.8m) = 10.3m in

Detroit sends Billups (11m) + Mcdyess (6.8m) + Amir (3.5m) = 21.2m out

Detroit receives Smoove (10m) + Bibby (14.5m) = 24.5m in

Looks too much salary for detroit to take in...

We might have to send a pick to clips in the process?

That's actually a pretty good trade.

The Clippers might be hesitant to deal Kaman, but Dice is servicable and if Amir really is just waiting on an opportunity to get minutes it could be a great move for them.

I wonder if Dumars has actually been hiding Amir on the bench and if that's the case, would he really trade him? Who would they start at center, Rasheed?

I hate losing Smoove, but upgrading from Bibby to Billups and being able to slide Al to the 4 while replacing him with a quality 5 is certainly as good as we could hope for in a replacement.

1) I don't think the Clips do that deal

2) Do you really want 4 more years of Billups, at his age and with the money he's making? That might be a good deal for us now, but 2-3 years from now, we may be stuck with a very bad contract.

Guys like billups will always have some future value...look how we traded for bibby with 1.5yrs left and his salary was 14m.

No way LAC do that deal, they send their starting C for a old role player and a young prospect that still has do nothing.

Thank you for coming up with a good trade for all involved; however, I think LAC doesn't do this unfortunately.
