Trades

Three more trades to report:

New Jersey sends Vince Carter to Orlando for Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston, and Tony Battie. This is another cost cutting move to increase their cap space for the summer of 2010, it could shed as much as 16.5 million off their books.

The Lakers send the 29th pick in the 1st round to New York for 3 Million in Cash. This will allow the lakers to reserve cap space for their efforts to resign Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza and Shannon Brown.

Most of you already know that the Suns have dealt Shaq to Cleveland for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, 2nd rounder in 2010, and Cash. Of course this gives cleveland a dominant inside presence and the suns get a lot of cap relief.
