Blockbuster trade! Opinions?

Portland: Rumors around Portland is that they have been wanting to rebuild the team around LaMarcus Aldridge and trade off older, injured players. They accomplish this with a Roy for Melo swap as well as gaining two young bigs for Camby and Oden with Peckovic and Varejao (who they've coveted as a player for years)

Denver: They gain back the talent they've been wanting for Melo by getting Brandon Roy (though he has his injury issues), a young scorer in Corey Brewer, and a big man/scorer in Antwan Jamison. They give away J.R. Smith who's been having disciplinary issues there and Renaldo Balkman.

Minnesota Timberwolves: They get a great scorer in J.R. Smith and another big man for giving up barely used center Peckovic and Brewer.

Cleveland Cavaliers: They give away Jamison and Varejao, but get a great PF defensively in Marcus Camby, and Greg Oden who is an expiring contract who can be resigned for lesser money and if he can manage a healthy season, then he can be a huge part of their team as a great defensive center.
