i agree

reason: claxton will give me a good backup at pg and his contract is short and the first is maybe worth something.

Not quite as controversial as the last trade involving Cleveland, but a significant one nonetheless. I just love Piatowski, I've tried to get him for a while. Claxton was not really needed on the team, and the 1st rounder will not be too high, hopefully. Ratliff is a decent prospect as well.

This trade definitely helps both teams...

Ratliff is a talented offensive player, with a B potential.  If his defense gets up he could be good starter.
Piatkowski is a SF with a B Handle, which is quite unusual....

Claxton is a nice 15-20 mpg point guard to have as a back-up, with the decent handle and defense.

Oh, sorry about that. We just figured that it was before 5 so we could get a trade in.

I really like Piatowski, The B handles for a Sf is great. Could possibly back up at PG, and his 6'7 frame would create alot of mismatches. I think he could succeed at the 1/2/3.

Ratliff also has the potential to be a decent bench player or possibly combo guard.

But I like it more for the Pacers. The first could be great - it will depend on how the Cavs team reacts after losing the King.

And Claxton could start for some teams.

I had to give up the first to get the two good young players that I'm getting. I doubt that it will be lottery, Orlando has a good team.

Agreed...  Dwight Howard has been getting better and better every TC...  A- inside and A- defense, and still with an A potential.
