Why might Sac do it?
Expiring contract. Houston and Mia might have to throw in a pick as well. Sac need to rebuild, I guess around Martin and Artest. Might as well start now.

Why migh Hou do it?
They have enough PG's to move James, and they need a PF that can score down low, if they are going to keep Yao high on the elbow on offense. Rahim can score, and is an offensive threat down there. Lucas and Francis would be plenty at the PG.

Why might Mia do it?
Let's fact it, they need a PG, and they need a replacement for Alonzo. This gets them both for an expiring contract.


Who is the first to back out on the deal, and why?
