TRADE ACCEPTED

Why?

Dallas: its extremely obvious why we do this deal. We make out like bandits

New Orleans: i had a tough time selling myself on this one but i think i figured why they do this. They are moving to the West and in the West you need size which they obviously dont have. Mashburn is going out the door and they get a lot of young talent in this deal. Chandler, Crawford and Fizer could thrive in NO. Cato, Fortson and Griffin help them on defense and on the boards in the West

Houston: Kinda obvious as well. PJ Brown is a step above Cato and they never play Griffin

Chicago: They get a better deal than Dallas...Neither Fizer nor Crawford want to be there anymore. So they essentially trade Davis and Chanlder and a 1st rounder for 2 Eastern Conference All Stars and Najera

I like it from a Mavs perspective, but I'm not sold on whether you can get the Hornets to pull the trigger on this unless they have decided to blow everything up. I see Mash out the door this summer, but my understanding is they love Magloirre (which they should).
