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

Denver:
PG: J.Tinsley -- C.Atkins
SG: A.Iverson -- M.Daniels
SF: C.Anthony -- JR.Smith
PF: Nene -- L.Klieza -- M.Baston
C: J.Foster -- D.Harrison


Pacers:
PG: TJ.Ford -- J.Jack -- T.Diener
SG: M.Dunleavy  -- B.Rush
SF: D.Granger -- S.Williams -- S.Graham
PF: K.Martin -- T.Murphy -- J.McRoberts
C: R.Nesterovic -- R.Hibbert -- S.Hunter

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

Nuggets:
They shred another big contract and get 15M in expiring.
They Get a pure point guard (Tinsley) to play with AI.
They Get a big point guard for Offence/Defence combo swap (Daniels) to play with AI.
They get a smart rebounding machine to collect all the AI/JR/Melo shots in Foster.
They get home town boy David Harrison, whos been wanting to play for Denver for the past year.

Indiana:
They reduce the roster and rotation, which is the most important part.
The cut Tinsley & Daniels.
I doubt M.Baston really wants to play for us again.
K.Martin feels are need for an athletic 4 man.
His contract looks scary, but he has 2 more good years in him and then he becomes a 14M expiring deal.
Or he can simply opt out of the 3rd year.

Next Season Pacers:
PG: TJ.Ford  -- J.Jack
SG: M.Dunleavy  -- B.Rush
SF: D.Granger -- S.Williams
PF: K.Martin -- T.Murphy
C: R.Hibbert -- S.Hunter

= 50M in cap.. cap should go up to 60M.. so 10M under cap.


CONCLUSION:
The best part is, when the team turns out terrible, the big contracts of Murphy 11M, Dunleavy 10M and Martin 16M all expire in 10/11.
So the trade deadline before that we are loaded with expiring contracts, just when where about to resign Danny Granger and Brandon Rush.

decent trade, but i think it's helping denver out more then you

I think Baston will be a good fit in the offense with Hibbert at Center.  I expect him to have a good year in this new offense.

Agreed. I don't think Foster is going anywhere, and neither is Baston.
Tinsley, Harrison & Shawne Williams are the only cancers left on this team.
