TRADE ACCEPTED

Dal- get a center and SF... enough said. If we needed to give up our #1 pick, i would.

Portland- if shareef if going to demand a trade... you better get something. This is a pretty nice package while keeping most of you expiring contracts.

Seattle- They would be the ones recieving the #1 pick if we threw it in. This gives them some good depth while preserving their expiring contracts.
