Boston
in: Amare from NY. Willie Green, Jamison from Clips.
out: Jeff Green to clips. Wallace to NY. Humphries to Lakers.

Boston gets out Jeff Green and Wallace's 2015 salary to entice Free agents. Salary dump, pure and simple. Crawford was playing too hard for a contract extension and Celts knew it. He had to go.

NY
in: Wallace. Nash/Kaman from Lakers. Dudley from Clips.
out: Amare. Udrih

They turn Amare's 21 mil into depth. Nash may or may not return but his 9 mil could become a medical/retirement exemption. Kaman will be valuable with their depleted frontline. They could move a more agile Chandler to PF.

Kaman/Chandler/Iman/Felton/Carmelo will be a playoff team. JR and Dudley provide scoring off the bench.

Clippers
in: Jeff Green
out: W.Green, Dudley, Jamison, Mullens.

Clips turn a bunch of scrap into a quality versatile 2-way player. Green can also play a stretch 4. Let's face it Clips are built to win now. Green will let doc shorten the bench.

C: Jordan. Hollins
PF: Griff. Turkoglu. (Green)
SF: Green. Barnes.
SG: Redick. Crawford.
PG: Paul. Collison. (Crawford.) Morris
And there's always Bynum.

Lakers
in: Humphries. Mullens. Udrih.
out: Nash. Kaman.

Getting rid of Nash 9 mil is all the incentives Lakers need to get this deal done. And Kaman gets out of the D'antoni "guys are injured. We're trying hard. ... it's not a knock against Kris but he does what Pau does and there's not a whole lot of minutes out there...even if he's not injured." Of course it's a knock against Kaman. You don't play him because he's a prototypical big man. At least ship him out to where he can be a big man.

I wonder if Buss would go D'Antoni and say " We're not winning games, not playing any defense, Guys are injured... It's not a knock against you but your offensive scheme pretty much screws up the defense... really, it's not a knock a against you but we'd like to slow it down and not have so many guys run themselves into a season long injury by sprinting down the court to jack up a 3-ptr. Kurt is going to take over for a few games. Don't take it personally, be a professional and take the DNC. Alright with you Mike?"

Are these deals imminent or proposed. Nash/Kaman out with Kardashian/Humphries, Mullens, and Udrih in sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
