Let's take a look!
Code: Select all

Bosh 21.5 9.3 2.3 0.8 0.9 2.1 .567
Jamison 21.0 8.3 1.8 1.1 0.3 1.4 .549
Hm, so the stats do seem to say that Bosh has the slight edge on Jamison. He's also younger, which is certainly nice. Let's call him 15% better.

Kapono 12.6 3.2 2.2 0.4 0.1 1.4 .525
Butler 19.2 5.8 4.1 1.5 0.3 2.9 .546
Oh my, not quite the same tale here. Butler is vastly superior to Kapono almost across the board. They're also about the same age and have two years left on their contracts. This time, we'll say that Butler is 65% better than Kapono.
Things aren't looking good so far. The question is, is getting the number one pick back from Toronto enough to offset the 50% difference between what we're sending out versus what we're getting? Griffin does look like a pretty good prospect, so I'd say that all in all, it's actually not a bad deal at all.
Wait, what's that?
We're the ones sending out the number one pick? Geez, now I feel kind of foolish. You were obviously making a joke and it went over my head. Egg all over my face.
