good deal both ways, the champs get a good PF to make another title run, then the Cavs get future picks for re-building

i basically got the wizards pick for free since i wasn't going to use the hornets pick, i didn't plan on using snow, so basically this is like piatkowski and smith for my 2011 pick, which i couldn't pass up when i could improve on murphy where he produces very similarly off the bench to when he starts. This also improves on Murphys B defense and B- rebounds, two of my noticeable weaknesses of this year's title run. Now teams can't attack Murphy on offense and have to be accountable on the boards.

tentative starting lineup:

Booth (A defense/B+ reb)
Smith (B- in/B+ def/ B+ reb)
Kirilenko (B+ in/B out/A+ def)
Hughes (B in, B- out, A- def)
Shabinger (B out/A- handles/B def/ B potential)/Daniels (will likely earn starting spot)
