Something like this maybe: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7nm54e7
Really any combination of those works salary-wise: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=84kfapw

Have the Heat won a championship with him starting?
its bullshit that cheap ass sarver didn't resign louuu but he gave childress and shitty ass warrick all that money. and I see dragic has been balling for the rockets too.

But the Lakers have won 3 with Fisher starting!
Also, I would not trade Gibson and Deng for Melo. Not a chance.
Lou is just a great role player.
Knows who he is, what he is, and plays to it.
It's a flaw with so many players.

I wouldn't trade Deng for him.
If Hedo puts on a Knicks Jersey im done. Shit I'm already done, I'd be extra done, well done.
time to bring back that rony seikaly avatar and remember your heat history

You'd be a Lebron steak?
All Bulls need to do is trade for Ray Allen without changing any of their starters (not counting Rip). Do that, and the title is theirs.

Yeah, it sucks.
Well, to be fair, Childress was ballin' overseas so Sarver prolly thought...and Warrick was supposed to be the Amare heir.
I have no idea why you let BEST SLOVENIAN go but you guys also got rid of RR9.

Yeah, only guy that seems plausible to get is Ray.
Thibodeau needs to throw his weight around and get Paxson to forget the other shit.

If I was New York, I'd send him to ORL for Howard.
Who gives a shit if he re-signs or not? You off-load Melo's contract and clear a shit ton of cap.
And ORL gets a ticket seller.
Aaron Brooks had just won MIP. He's meant to be the heir to Nash. Cept he's utter shit.
See, i'm not even mad about the childress signing. But the warrick one was absurd.
Could have just got lou instead of Warrick. wouldn't have been that different.
but w/e. The era was done when Amare went to NY.
That trade makes the Knicks a better team. Rashard knows how to stand in the corner.
Im saving that for the bos/mia series
Because complaing about stat is futile. he's totally untradeable.

Except STAT has a history of working in that system.

When a man plays defense like Stoudemire it's calling stealing money. Unless "permanent Knick for life" is a bad thing
but it's year 2 of his contract and he's already looking like raptors olajuwon

Knicks rotation should be

Davis
SHUMSPS DA GOD
Melo
Amare
Tyson
BENCH:
Lin
Fields
JR Smith
Novak
Jeffries
No one else should get a single minute, that includes ROSTER PLAYER #55

lol!
I would rather build around a diva with the right pieces rather than a broken down power forward, but it's already established there's no point in talking about Stoudemire being traded.
Kobe was also a diva but he's Kobe so you build around him

Remember when Bron tried to get Spoelstra fired? good times.

I meant Melo for Howard straight up. (the salary pretty much match)
Are you just throwing in Chandler so Orlando gets back a center too?
Kobe was a diva and so was shaq. But they were also winners who got shit done. Melo doesn't back it up like kobe does.
Unless its a future hall of famer being a diva (kobe, shaq, (as much as i hate him lebron), give me the team player who isn't going to make everyone around him worse.

I would do this, but Joe D wouldn't: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=82kw2wz

I guess I went beyond your just clearing space idea and assumed that the Knicks might want to actually keep Dwight if they got him, plus they could maybe get more pieces back (like Anderson) and while the rotation would be epic with Dwight-Chandler-Amare they'd probably wind up wanting to move Chandler for help at other spots anyway. Orlando getting two starters maybe helps them make the deal too.

the funniest part about those trades are how bad those Detroit contracts are. Gordon, Charlie V, and Prince are so bad and making so much.
does charlie even play? He didn't vs lakers...
edit: Detroit is paying $66 million for it's roster this season? ahahaahahahahahaha. Pacers are at $43 million. hahaha Joe D. hahahaha.

That's why I'd take back a guy with a 5% chance of becoming a 25ppg scorer again and would even accept this current level of Amare for three years rather than pay those three guys to be just worthless. (Don't tell the rest of the league though.) Charlie V put up 16/7 in 2009, Gordon was a 20 point scorer 6MOY!, Prince went to five straight Eastern Finals, Two NBA Finals, was the stopper on a championship team! We'll take your uninsured contract!
He's played nine minutes this season. Nobody really knows why, the team has been claiming it's some ankle injury but never specific as to what exactly.
Until he actually got on the court I had assumed he either died or ballooned Shawn Kemp style during the lockout.
Look how long those contracts last, even Jerebko's...
And they're all player options, not team options.

Joe is stuntin' like Isiah.
I really need Dwight to finish the season in Orlando. NJ wants Diaw for Farmar, Petro, and a mother fucking 1st LOL
If we flip DJ for a 1st somehow too... I'd build a shrine to Cho.

I knew you would relent.
You know I forgot about JR because he left his j in China, but that makes 2 shooters, him and Novak. Who else is a pure shooter on this team? SVG has tons and has had tons in Orlando.

The worst part is many people forget those 2008 Pistons won 59 games and gave the Celtics a hell of a time in the Eastern Finals before Prince and Sheed shit the bed in game six. They had Sheed, Rip, Billups and Prince all coming off their contracts within two or three years. They also had Amir Johnson, Afflalo, Stuckey and Maxiell who were solid. (And why the team kept being good as long as it did bringing them off the bench.) And Flip was able to get the best out of the veterans because he let Sheed wander outside, Billups run the offense, etc.
So they could have won say maybe 50 games for two more seasons and then blown it up entirely, with some young pieces in place and gobs of cap space.
Instead Joe D hires Michael Curry who didn't know what the fuck to do with the veterans (and who had a shitty reputation with players in the league to where some considered him a "snitch" to coaches), deals Afflalo and Billups for Iverson which implodes the team (sends the Nuggets to the West Finals, Melo a superstar confirmed!) and has guys like Sheed and Rip just giving up but not enough they miss the playoffs. Then he has a ton of space thanks to Iverson but immediately blows it on Charlie V and Gordon, neither of whom have ever been more than great bench scorers because they're tweeners and stink at defense. Then he hires the mastermind of the Cavaliers clear out and have LeBron do everything offense. This eventually results in another mutiny.
Meanwhile he's given Rip and Prince stupid extensions. (And then bought Rip out of the one he gave him.)
Guy was brilliant from 2001-2004 and basically erased it all during 2008-11. If he didn't draft as well as he does team would be even worse. (Too bad he's given up half the players, Afflalo, D.J. White, Budinger, sent Macklin to the D-League.)
Wouldn't mind a few fancy dunks from Amare, some 25-30 point games when he's feeling good, maybe more since the Pistons have one of the better training staffs (not Phoenix level, but still good, they went through the 2006 season playing only six and a half guys) and a bench full of cheap young players. Better than giving $25+ million a year to Prince, Charlie V and Gordon over the same time.
