I'm not sure how many would care about this trade - Infact I'm not sure it's even a good trade for anyone but Sac so this i probably a horrible trade so go easy on me! I'm just not sure where or if I should include draft picks to help values?

Toronto: Gets rid of the Bosh/JO experiment. Gets expirings for next season and 2010, K-Mart, probably helps their lottery chances at a Thabeet/Griffen/Monroe type player. Solidifies their backcourt, lets them work fresh up front.

Kings: Firesale? or face lift. Many faces gone, should be many happy people and a slight upgrade at the point (or big depending on opinion) Shouldn't hurt our lottery but it very easily can.

Chicago: A few gone, but upgrades at bigs postion. Should solidify their team up front but they're taking on some old/damaged goods but I'm not sure if this is enough? They might need a late 1st - does this help them keep Gordon?

Dallas: Gets them Udrih and Salmons, gets rid of Howard. Dallas fans might not like this, but they get a cheaper player with same stats and Udrih to run backup pg for them which they wanted.

Kings out: K9, K-Mart, Miller, Udrih, Salmons
Kings In: Hinrich, Bosh, Josh Howard

Chicago Out: Hinrich, Tyrus THomas, Larry Hughes
Chicago in: Miller, JO

Toronto Out: JO, Bosh
Toronto In: K9, K-Mart, Hughes, Tyrus Thomas

Dallas Out: Howard
Dallas In: Udrih, Salmons

Kings Pre-Draft Roster
Bosh/Hawes
JT/Moore/Williams
JHoward/Greene
Cisco/Douby
Hinrich/Bjax/BBrown

This probably pushes us our of the lottery (not sure).... In any event we probably look something like this for 09 season the <Drafts are open slots or possible Free Agent>

Bosh/Hawes
JT/Williams/<Draft/FA>
Hedo(FA Signing) if not --->/Howard/Greene
Howard/Cisco/<Draft/FA>
Hinrich/<Draft/FA>/Brown

Terrible for Toronto but good for everyone else.
I agree with you there, I was thinking maybe they get some draft picks thrown their way. As far as I gather they want to rebuild - get expirings and draft picks I'm sure just thought this would put them into full on rebuild mode with a solid back court, maybe see what J-Moon can do and go from there
