I'm not sure if I totally agree with your trades. I came up with Marcus Camby for K. Brown and Charlie V. (Gives Detroit 5 more wins) http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine I think Marcus would be a better defender for Detroit and give them a somewhat of a down low presence. You could also resign him after this year or let him go to FA. This would give you about 10 mil to try and sign Chris Bosh. Let me know what you think.

Hey Brett. How did you like the Bills game in Carolina yesterday? Please read my article about the game and would be curious if you have any additional comments you would like to add to the story? Guess there was a strong showing of Bills fans at the game. That is great. All the best.
