The Denver scenario

[Roy Enrile <renrile@qualcomm.com>]

This one is interesting to analyze since Warwick said he
heard which actual players were being shopped, and
the Denver GM confirmed talking to Boston about something.

Bos: Vince Carter, Tracy Mcgrady, next years Denv pick 
Denv: Antoine, Chauncey
Tor: Lafrentz, Pierce

Bottom line is the C's make out better this way than if they 
pick up Mash/Brown, and possibly better situation than w/
Walker/Pierce.  Some reasons are,

 Antoine won't be in their division(unlike the Miami case).

 The draft pick next year will probably be in the top 3.
 
 Chris Wallace always wants players w/ tremendous athletic upside,
 and Carter/McGrady, are far above Antoine/Pierce, Mash/PJ, or 
 most other players in that respect.
 Bulls Lakers have a glut of 6'5 to 6'8 athletes too, for those who want
 to bring up that point.

 Declerc has more hops/strength than Toine at the PF spot, and 
 could be as serviceable as a Dale Davis or Brian Grant in the future.

 If other C's are included in the trade, They've saved more
 cap room than in the other scenarios, and can go after Ratliff or Coleman.
