We might have our first big trade of the trade deadline season! Rejoice!
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, the Wizards, Knicks and Rockets are discussing a deal that would send Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to Houston, Tracy McGrady to the Knicks and Al Harrington to the Wizards.
Other pieces would need to be thrown in to match the salaries. The Knicks are currently taking in $23 million while sending out only $10 million. The Rockets need to take in an additional $6 million, while the Wizards need to send out another $6 million or so. Here’s one way to get that all done. It should be noted that this is coming straight from my head and is not necessarily being discussed.
WASHINGTON TRADES: Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, DeShawn Stevenson, Javaris Crittenton
WASHINGTON RECEIVES: Al Harrington, Cuttino Mobley, Jordan Hill, Jermaine Taylor, Houston first-round pick in 2010 draft
HOUSTON TRADES: Tracy McGrady, Jermaine Taylor, Joey Dorsey, 2010 first-round pick
HOUSTON RECEIVES: Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, DeShawn Stevenson, Javaris Crittenton
NEW YORK TRADES: Al Harrington, Cuttino Mobley, Jordan Hill
HOUSTON NEW YORK RECEIVES: Tracy McGrady, Joey Dorsey
Houston receives two starters without dealing one of its top prospects. Washington gets financial relief and young talent, as well as a draft pick. New York gets McGrady. Looks good to me.

Its alright for Washington but I think they can do better
They could probably move Haywood now for a 1st round pick plus expiring deals. They could move Butler at any time for expiring contracts, to me its who ever gives up a young player and/or draft picks is who gets him. Hill and Taylor are nice but not exactly the return they should want.
From a Wizards fan point of view I don’t care to get Harrington back, he’s gone after this year and paid way to much money. Sure he can score and keep Washington in games, but then he’s taking away minutes from their young guys, like Blatche (who i wouldn’t mind seeing him dealt in the right deal), Hill, Hickson (Jamison deal) ect.
