Just came up with this all by myself!

What do you think?

I think that doesn't help the Pistons at all so I don't care.

just giving you crap. I would think Boston would for sure (provided they can resign Haywood). Washington might want more young talent for Caron than simply Perkins. Not sure how much they'd like Bill Walker and a pick.

Good for both teams if you assume Washington are gonna blow up their team.

I'd expect them to get a little more for that package though. Celtics don't have any quality youth to include as filler though

4. Caron Butler, G/F, Wizards
For weeks we've assumed that Antawn Jamison is the Wizard most likely to be moved, but that's not true, according to GMs who have had conversations with the Wizards. They say the team is reluctant to move Jamison, a franchise cornerstone.
Butler, on the other hand, is very much available, and the Wizards shouldn't have much trouble finding interest: Butler has only one year remaining on his contract and he can still play, at age 29 (he turns 30 on March 13).
One issue that could slow negotiations is the fact that the Wizards don't want to just give Butler away; they want both cap relief and a young asset. But that might be a heavy price in this market.

Do it, Danny/Ernie!

Is Perkins your idea of a young asset?

[Glenn]

Yes. Even though he looks like he's in his 40's, he doesn't have much wear on him at all, and he's got a reasonable contract for what he is.

[Glenn]

He's 25, fwiw, but didn't play very much his first few seasons.
