New Orleans trades: PG Baron Davis (22.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 7.5 apg in 40.1 minutes)
C Jamaal Magloire (13.7 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 1.1 apg in 33.9 minutes)
New Orleans receives: SF Vince Carter (22.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.8 apg in 73 games)
PF Chris Bosh (11.5 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.0 apg in 75 games)
PF Jerome Moiso (2.9 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 0.2 apg in 35 games)
Change in team outlook: +0.3 ppg, +0.8 rpg, and -2.6 apg.

TRADE ACCEPTED


Why New Orleans does it: The Hornets need to fill seats. If Vinsanity won't do it, then who would? Bosh for Magloire is a wash, in terms of talent, but Toronto insists on getting the Canadian back to do the deal. Moiso is there because someone had to move to balance the salaries. He might help some as a backup and he's French. Maybe they would like that in the Big Easy.

Why Toronto does it: Vince has to move. Baron Davis keeps the talent level up, while Magloire helps retain fan interest--he's one of Canada's best players. It hurts to lose Bosch, but Toronto is OK in the paint with Magloire, Marshall and the rookie Araujo.

(I must be so bored to bother with a non-Mavericks trade).

This makes tons of sense. Somehow I bet Baron doesn't want to go to Toronto though, and I am guessing that VC doesn't want to end up in NO in the West now. Other than it would probably PO both of the "Stars", looks like a very sensible trade to me.
