You forgot John Thomas and Tyus Edney too. We traded Eric for 2 2nd
rounders, signed Mills + Edney with the money left and then traded Mills
to the Knicks with the picks from the Denver trade for Walter McCarty,
Dontae Jones and John Thomas.

Therefore the overall deal looks something like this

 IN     |   OUT
McCarty | Williams
Edney   | 
Jones   |
Thomas  |
 
I think thats a very fair deal.
