Trading for a veteran PF

I wrote this on 6/30 (Link)
Some suggested on a thread getting a veteran PF with two years left on his contract to support the team until Bynum is ready for significant minutes but comes off the cap the same time as Grant's contract. Based on that, I looked for all veteran (at least 29) PF's who played at least 25 mpg with 2 years left on their contracts. This is what I came up with:

PJ Brown of New Orleans
35, averaged 10.8 ppg and 9.0 rpg in 34.4 mpg.

Proposed trade
George, Atkins and Jones for Brown and Speedy Claxton

Why would New Orleans do it?
They are a rebuilding club and a 35 year old PF isn't a part of their long term plans. As they drafted PG Chris Paul and they hope to re-sign PG Dan Dickau, they don't need Speedy Claxton. George or Jones will be their starting SF and Atkins will provide a veteran to back up their young PG's. They will be far enough under the cap to offer a big contract to a young PF like Chandler, Swift, Radmanovic or Brown. The expiring contracts will allow them to probably offer another max contract next off-season.

Why would the Lakers do it?
Brown is a professional and can still get the job down at 35. He will be great at teaching the young players how to practice and play every night. Speedy gives the Lakers an upgrade over Atkins and a small, quick point guard to cover the small, quick point guards in the league. It doesn't cost the Lakers any of their best players (Bryant, Odom, Butler, Mihm) and it frees up an additional roster space on their overcrowded roster.

Joe Smith of Milwaukee
29, averaged 11.0 ppg and 7.3 rpg in 30.6 mpg.

Proposed trade
Divac and Cook for Smith

Why would Milwaukee do it?
They are a rebuilding club well under the salary cap. The Buck trade away Smith, buy out Divac's contract and then offer a big contract to a young PF like Chandler, Swift, Radmanovic or Brown. They then re-sign Redd to give them a young starting five of T.J. Ford, Redd, Mason, FA PF and Bogut. Cook gives them a back up C in case Gadzuric bolts in free agency.

Why would the Lakers do it?
After Divac's contract is bought out, he would return to the Lakers, so this trade costs them only Cook and Smith is a clear upgrade over Cook.

Austin Croshere of Indiana
30, averaged 8.9 ppg and 5.1 rpg in 25.0 mpg.

Proposed trade
Divac and George for Croshere and David Harrison

Why would Indiana do it?
Over $20 million in salary and luxury tax savings. Croshere is riduciously overpaid for his contributions and the only reason he averaged 25 mpg last season was because of all of the suspensions. Croshere will earn almost $9 million this season and $9.5 million next season. The Pacers buy out Divac's contract to save even more money.

Why would the Lakers do it?
Croshere's shooting range will spread the floor for Odom and Bryant. The Lakers also get a young C for the troubles in 22 year old, 7-0, 280 David Harrison. After Divac's contract is bought out, he would return to the Lakers, so this trade costs them only George and the Lakers need a PF far more than another SF.

Other PF's considered
Jonathon Bender of Indiana, who I considered too injury-prone
Maurice Taylor of New York, who I considered not good enough to consider
Brian Skinner of Sacramento, who I considered not good enough (and I couldn't figure out a trade)
Danny Fortson of Seattle, but I couldn't figure out a trade
