Pick(s)
Denver In:
Ron Artest
Why Sac does it:
Bye Artest. Bye Bibby. Hello expirings. We get approximately $20 million off the books at the end of the season. We possibly get a pick, which I'm sure Denver might throw in due to getting Artest for cheap.
Why Sac doesn't:
We're giving 'em away for pennies on the dollar.
Why Miami does it:
They get an upgrade at point guard. his contract may be big but its only for two more years, and there stuck with Shaq's monster contract for 3 more. Kleiza's a pretty good backup behind Ricky Davis
Why Miami doesn't: It's kind of a trade to just help us. If Riley wants to keep playing with this same aging group Bibby is definitely an upgrade though.

They get Ron Artest for cheap
