Arenas interesa a Orlando y Nueva York, Jamison interesa a Cleveland, Butler interesa a Toronto y Detroit, Haywood a Denver, es decir, parece que quieren limpiar económicamente el equipo, y reconstruir de nuevo todo.
McGrady could move to Wizards
The Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards are apparently talking about sending Tracy McGrady(notes) to D.C. with Houston hoping to get forward Caron Butler(notes) and center Brendan Haywood(notes) in exchange, according to ESPN.
McGrady, of course, has that $23 million expiring contract and the Wizards are looking just to blow up their roster after all the gunplay in the locker room brought so much bad publicity to the team. McGrady hasn't played since December when he was granted an indefinite leave from the Rockets.
The Wizards would supposedly like to get more than just McGrady in a deal.
The Wiz and Mavs, meanwhile, have discussed a deal that would swap Josh Howard and one other player (such as James Singleton or Quinton Ross) for Butler and DeShawn Stevenson. But Dallas has little interest in taking back Stevenson and is still weighing whether Butler can help pull the All-Star Weekend hosts out of a spiral that has been openly addressed this week (see Box 4) by Mark Cuban.
For weeks we've assumed that Antawn Jamison is the Wizard most likely to be moved, but that's not true, according to GMs who have had conversations with the Wizards. They say the team is reluctant to move Jamison, a franchise cornerstone.
Butler, on the other hand, is very much available, and the Wizards shouldn't have much trouble finding interest: Butler has only one year remaining on his contract and he can still play, at age 29 (he turns 30 on March 13).
One issue that could slow negotiations is the fact that the Wizards don't want to just give Butler away; they want both cap relief and a young asset. But that might be a heavy price in this market.
Knicks discuss deal for McGrady
The Houston Rockets are in the discussion stages of a complicated, three-team trade that would send Tracy McGrady(notes) to the New York Knicks, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The centerpieces of the trade would include the Washington Wizards shipping forward Caron Butler(notes) and center Brendan Haywood(notes) to the Rockets. The Knicks would send Al Harrington(notes) to the Wizards. For the Wizards’ part, they would still need another player, as well as a draft pick and cash to make this a workable scenario, sources said.
Other players and contracts would still need to be agreed upon for a deal to come together, but there is a framework to the discussions.
The Rockets have been peddling McGrady’s expiring contract of $23 million since exiling him in late December.
