tell me what you think

I am not really sure I like the trade from the standpoint of any of the teams, even from OKC who is getting the better end of the deal. Plus, it is rare that you see trades involving players of this caliber with more than two teams involved.

i dont get what your saying

 While I disagree with what Allan said about these types of trades usually only being between two teams, this trade is ridiculous. OKC would be taking on a ridiculous amount of salary, and keep Kendrick Perkins? With the new CBA possibly instituting a hard cap, they would become the Yankees of basketball. Durant and Howard making max money, than having Harris, Millsap and Perkins making close to 8 figures? I have no idea how this trade works, but it is just proof that the trade machine gives people the ability to go insane. This trade would be upgrading two positions so greatly for OKC, it would not be even fair. You give them the best Center in the league, and suitable replacements at PF and PG, while keeping Perkins? Jerry West would pat you on the back if you got this done.

What I meant by these "trades involving players of this caliber with more than two teams involved", was that in this situation every team is giving up and getting very good players. I am used to seeing more pieces and less talent coming from other teams. That is just what sticks in my mind at the moment, I could be mistaken.

Double post…

 It’s one of the better trades I’ve seen, as a Jazz fan I would do because we need a SG so bad.

[TyroberParticipant]

I kinda like it for all the teams involved. It obviously hurts the Magic but its much better than losing Dwight for nothing. It would put the Jazz in complete rebuilding mode. They could end up with a future of Knight, Harden, Hayward, Jefferson, and Derrick Favors. That would be a very good team down the line. Obviously OKC would be a top team in the league after this trade. They would be unreal.

A hard cap s never going to happen…   David Stern can pretend that he wants one to get other concessions from the players union but teams like the Lakers and Knicks will never allow their advantage to be taken away from them the same way the Yankees and Red Sox have a huge advantage in baseball.
