Memphis (future)

Conley (#9 pick)/Duhon
Ben Gordon
Rudy Gay
Ty Thomas
#4 pick (Hawes, Hibbert?)


These are just examples...but I am pretty sure Aigne will trade that #5 pick and then the sky's the limit with that HUGE Ratliff expiring deal...

Also, Milwaukee with #6 pick plus BOGUT...what can that get you?

WE ARE F-D!

Boston and Memphis definitely have options, but that is still better than them getting the #1 or #2 picks outright. At least now, they have to give up something to move up.
