for
Outlaw, Przybilla and Raef (expiring) and #13pick

they get an upgrade to their starting lineup at C with a tough defensive center and Outlaw would be a big upgrade starter at SF. Plus they save a little money and get the #13.

I also wouldn't trade both Outlaw and Webster.

I'd rather throw in Frye than Joel. Also throwing in Webster would suck because he is our starting 3. Right now, Outlaw won't really be effective as a starter... maybe it opens up for Rudy, along with Roy and calderon? IDK.

I would love to keep our 9 man rotation in tact...

? | Blake
Roy | Rudy
Webster | Outlaw
Aldridge | Frye
Oden | Pryzbilla

leaves Jones, LaFrentz, Sergio, Jack, 1st round pick, future pick, cash... then could probably do either Frye or Outlaw? If we trade Outlaw we can keep Jones but would really miss his spark off the bench, imo. He really kept us in games by himself, i'd rather keep him. Frye came on strong at the end of the year, but honestly wasn't that good all year. He is nice, but Outlaw could play backup PF and SF, and narrow our rotation down to 9, which would be sick... Oden, Aldridge and Pryzbilla as the post rotation is hawt. Throw in Outlaw as backup PF sometimes and i'd rather have that...

Jones, Jack, Frye, Sergio, LaFrentz, cash, #13, future first would be my trade honestly. IDK how far that would get us, but if we take on some of their contracts as well, maybe its not bad? Obviously not trade all of them, but a package of sorts taking into account salary and what Toronto wants...

edit - i do understand that Outlaw would probably have to be in the deal though, as i'm sure he is a piece they would like. If I were KP, i'd do everything to keep him on our team though.
I don't want to get rid of Joel, but it is my belief that to get Calderon, that would be needed. Frye would not work for thr Raps because of how their team is constructed. Joel and Outlaw would be the two main pieces in my trade because I think those are the players that the Raps would desire to move Calderon. You have to give to get. Sure, if Oden goes down it would suck big time ,but I don't think you can build a franchise expecting your 20 year old players to go down. You have to take some gambles.
