Turkey, your post gave me a good laugh. And it inspired me to come up with a little fantasy trade of my own. Sure, it's not as extravagant as yours, but I'd argue there's even more talent at play...

Dallas trades: SF Antawn Jamison (13.7 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.3 apg in 28.4 minutes)
PF Antoine Walker (16.9 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 4.3 apg in 36.7 minutes)
SG Michael Finley (15.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.9 apg in 37.8 minutes)
Dallas receives: C Shaquille O'Neal (20.1 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 2.7 apg in 34.1 minutes)
SG Kobe Bryant (21.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 3.9 apg in 35.7 minutes)
Change in team outlook: -4.9 ppg, -6.4 rpg, and -1.9 apg.

L.A. Lakers trades: C Shaquille O'Neal (20.1 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 2.7 apg in 34.1 minutes)
SG Kobe Bryant (21.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 3.9 apg in 35.7 minutes)
L.A. Lakers receives: SF Antawn Jamison (13.7 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.3 apg in 17 games)
PF Antoine Walker (16.9 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 4.3 apg in 17 games)
SG Michael Finley (15.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.9 apg in 17 games)
Change in team outlook: +4.9 ppg, +6.4 rpg, and +1.9 apg.

New lineups:

Dallas:
O'Neal - Bradley
Nowitzki - Fortson
Howard - Najera
Bryant - Daniels
Nash - Best

Los Angeles:
Malone - Grant
Walker - Medvedenko
Jamison - George
Finley - Rush
Payton - Fisher

Sure, the Mavs win, but that LA team is still pretty darn good, eh? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
