Now here's a deal I'd do

[Peter Delevett]

Miami Herald reporting that the Heat and Wizards are
talking about Navarro in exchange for future draft
picks. The Wiz reportedly also wants whoever gets
Navarro to take on the contracts of either Haywood,
Thomas or Antonio Daniels.

You could ship Ratliff for Daniels and either Haywood
or Thomas. You'd get a veteran backup at the point
(who put up nice numbers in the playoffs) and a big
man who averaged 6 boards and more than one block a
game, regardless of which of the bigs you took.
Washington could enjoy the salary cap savings when
Ratliff's deal expires next year. If Navarro turns
into a stud, so much the better. Considering what
Ainge has done with our recent draft picks, I'd argue
that you could do worse than dangle a protected pick
and Theo's salary to see if we could fill our two
biggest needs in one fell swoop, while still retaining
enough flexibility to extend Al and perhaps Tony next
year.

Alternatively, if Washington only wants to get rid of,
say, Haywood, Boston could send Scabs and Telfair.
That would be an upgrade.

Thoughts? I try not to engage in completely idle trade
speculation, but this one is kinda interesting.
