trade idea part 1

so i have two trade ideas for the blazers. the first one is pretty straight forward, and i think very plausible. basically, the blazers send steve blake and travis outlaw to the wizards for brendan haywood. to me this is a win win. the wizards are 23 million over the cap, so to trade one expiring contract into two when theyre already out of the playoff race anyway makes sense to them. for the blazers it would be huge for them to get a legit 7 foot, 270 pound TRUE center whos been around 8 years and would provide exactly what the blazers are lacking right now on the interior. there probably isnt a spot for him past this year, (unless oden and joel arent ready by next years training camp) but hes an unrestricted free agent this summer anyway, so he doesnet really need one. it would be sad to see steve and travis go, theyve been here longer than most, but i think this would make them a better basketball team over the final 30 or so games this year. heres the espn trade machine link. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine. tell me what yall think. il have a part 2 later that'll require a little bit more imagination.
