Huge Trade - BOS/MIA/MEM/UTA/NOH

[Alex Confer]

Reported by the Miami Herald:

Boston Receives:
-- F Qyntel Woods (MIA)
-- F Curtis Borchardt (MEM, acquired today from UTA)
-- C Albert Miralles (MIA)
-- $1.9 Trade Exception (MIA)

Miami Receives:
-- F Antoine Walker (BOS)
-- G Jason Williams (MEM)
-- F James Posey (MEM)
-- G Andre Emmett (MEM)

Memphis Receives:
-- G Eddie Jones (MIA)
-- G Raul Lopez (UTA)

Utah Receives:
-- C Greg Ostertag (MEM, acquired today from SAC)

New Orleans Receives:
-- F Rasual Butler (MIA)
-- G Kirk Snyder (UTA)

No one, not even the experts, know what New Orleans gives up in this trade. It's possible Jamaal Magloire or PJ Brown could be heading to the Griz, but again, no one knows. There's also talk of a re-signed Earl Watson going to Boston for Marcus Banks.

This is just crazy. I can't beleive it.

[Bibby10]

Yeah, unless Memphis gets one of those two, they have horribly failed that trade. Great trade for Miami btw.

[BstnRdSx]

Terrible trade for Boston.

We get an animal abuser and 2 idiots.

[Bibby10]

hmm, Qyntel Woods could shape up to become a solid player.

Wow i got lost halfway through reading that trade

Most asinine statement I've ever heard regarding Woods. He's entering his fourth year and has done nothing worthy of recognition, nothing.

[Alex Confer]

Late word out of Boston - Hornets will convey two future, unprotected second-round picks to the C's.

[Just Blaze]

Miami Wins this deal. Period. I think Boston should of got Eddie Jones so now they are a very very very young team led by my man Paul Pierce yet again. If Boston trades him, I'll lose it.

[Alex Confer]

Can't forget Qyntel Woods, the quintessential role model. Boston is heading in the wrong direction with too much youth and a bunch of stiffs, and I'm not saying this because I'm a Sixers fan.

[Jami]

Antoine Walker only plays good in Boston. And apparently Miami's not bringing Damon Jones back if they're getting Jason Williams. Pretty much looks like everyone's dumping salaries and underachievers in this trade...the only thing "huge" about it is that it includes like 30 players..

[allstarmike2k5]

Miami raped all of them they owned in that trade

[Alex Confer]

The largest trade in NBA history (five teams, thirteen players) has gone through. In addition to Walker, Williams, Posey, and Andre Emmett, the Heat acquired the rights to Roberto Duenes from Memphis I believe.

[Bibby10]

God, I wanted to see Damon back. But that's unlikely now as Jami said, predictions where he's off to?

No, we got Blount. Err, wait, he's a stiff.

LaFrentz is good...wait, a stiff.

I hate Danny Ainge.

[King James]

^ who doesnt.

[Alex Confer]

The only team publicly linked to Damon Jones thus far has been Cleveland, but from what I understand, they've offered just the mid-level. Damon may be looking for a bit more than that, so he'll probably head off to a team with significant capspace.

[Bibby10]

So I wont get him for my Indiana team, as they have no space. But I'd guess, Utah would offer him a deal. They freed up alot of space hoping to get Saras, now that they failed I guess they'll try for someone else.
