I kind of like this deal. Howard gives us a physical 4, and Hunter can block shots.
This frees us up to move Blount for a Rodney White or Maybe with Davis for Dampier and Van Exel and a pick or two?
I would have preferred Giricek and Gooden

Here's someone saying it's going to happen. Everything posted after this is the opinion of the Seattle writer, not me:
Trade report out of Seattle.

he's the KJR (local sports radio) basketball expert.
The Orlando Magic will trade Juwan Howard, Pat Garrity and Steven Hunter to Boston for Chris Mills and Chris Mihm. Boston is making this deal to fill their void at the 4 spot due to the failure of Vin Baker. Orlando receives cap space and cash because Mills insurance policy will kick in at the end of the year and be worth about 1.7 million dollars. If this goes down I am not sure it is such a good move for Boston. I have changed my position on Juwan Howard. Watching Howard this year he has looked terrible. His feet look slow, he has lost his lift and his jumper is far less consistent.
