Why it would be possible, IMO......

Atlanta -- needs a legit Center and they would be scary. Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Al Horford are already good, but Horford needs to be moved to PF permanently, IMO. Williams is there most likely trade asset. Atlanta has a better shot at getting by Orl with Haywood than with Williams, IMO.

NY -- if they are out of the MELO stuff, Williams could be about as good as they can get. Kelenna hasn't played this year. Turiaf isn't a MikeDanTony type of get up and down the court guy. Amare, Gallinaro, Williams would be a pretty formidable front court offensively (and lets face it that is all MDT worries about).

Memphis -- Getting Turiaf who would be a very good backup to both Randolf, and Gasol for a player that they are trying to move (at least by reports) seems like a win for them. Not splashy, but not a step backwards, IMO.

Dallas -- gets legit wingmen. OJ could learn behind Kidd for a couple of years and still play the SG. Kelenna when healthy could play as well. Mahimni gets all the backup C minutes. Dallas gets younger, and possibly quite a bit better.
Dallas still has the Butler chip, and doesn't have to depend on Roddy since I think OJ would fill that role. Kelenna is due back soon.

--- I have no idea who would be the first to end this trade.... but I am sure it will seem really one sided to some.

NY has Wilson Chandler. And Turiaf isn't enough for Mayo
