Who's Next In The NBA Swap Meet

It all started with Mitch Kupchak's grand theft of Pau Gasol ( and from what I hear Mitch isn't done yet but ill get back to that), and it sure has snowballed since. Once the Lakers acquired Gasol, you could hear all of the Western Conference GMs take a collective gasp. Since then each contender has feverishly tried to get that "next piece to the puzzle". Next in line to booster their roster was the Phoenix Suns, they put a deal together which sent Shawn Marion in return for Shaq. Then in a lesser known deal the Spurs picked up Damon Stoudamire to give some depth to their backcourt. Now its Jason Kidd back to Dallas where it all began for him. The question is who's next? The Nuggets have said to be in talks with the Kings, trying to acquire Ron Artest. There are grumblings from Laker Land that Mitch is back on the phone lines trying to put together a deal that would send Laker Lamar Odom to the Wizards for All- Star guard Caron Butler. This would be Caron's second stint in LA, hopefully an improvement from his first run. A little over a day until the deadline, so there will be plenty of possible scenarios hinting the espn airwaves in the next 30 some hours, so stay tuned.
