Celtics, Sixers, Knicks Trade Idea

[Evantime34]

To Philadelphia: Terry Rozier, James Young, Jared Sullinger, Boston first this year, Philly's own 2nd (via Boston)
To New York: David Lee, Evan Turner, Tyler Zeller, Maverick first this year, Minnesota first (probably two seconds), and Boston first in 2018
To Boston: Carmelo Anthony, Nerlens Noel.

Why for Philly: The Sixers have become an embarrassment to the league. Okafor and Noel don't fit together, if Embiid is miraculously healthy next year Noel becomes even more redundant. They get three young players to help them build, as well as picks to add to their asset pool.

Why for New York: Carmelo doesn't fit the Knicks rebuild, they need to get future assets for him. We are giving them two firsts and two seconds that they can use to surround Porzingis with young talented players. David Lee, Tyler Zeller and Evan Turner all get tryouts for the Knicks and can help them immediately around Porzingis.

Why for Boston: Carmelo is a great scorer who helps the team win now and attract other quality players in the offseason. Noel is an excellent defender who can set the team up to have an elite defensive foundation for years to come. We also don't give up any of the Brooklyn picks.

New rotation:
Noel/Olynyk
Carmelo/Amir/ Mickey
Crowder/Jerebko
Bradley/Hunter
Thomas/Smart

Let me know your thoughts.

There needs to be a "Yes but Philly and NYK would say no"

Made the poll better. Thanks for reading.

I like the idea, though it's probably a little too much for Philly and definitely not enough for New York.

You'd probably have to reroute Young to New York to give them a good wing prospect to build around, along with giving them either one of the Brooklyn picks or our 2017 pick, which they can switch with Brooklyn.

So it'd be something like this:
To Philadelphia: Terry Rozier, Jared Sullinger, Boston first this year, Philly's own 2nd (via Boston)
To New York: David Lee, Evan Turner, Tyler Zeller, Young, Maverick first this year, Minnesota first (probably two seconds), and Boston first in 2017
To Boston: Carmelo Anthony, Nerlens Noel.


I love that small-ball lineup, though. That surrounds Noel with 4 above average shooters, while also keeping probably a top-5 defensive unit in the league.

I would do that in a heartbeat.

Swap Turner with Jerebko.
Jerebko fits better in the triangle, and Turner is our teams 2nd best ball handler.
Easy 6th man candidate if this trade happened

[Who]

New York and Philadelphia both say no.

Poll results indicate this poll was a waste of time.

We dont get Melo without the Brooklyn pick.

Poll results indicate this poll was a waste of time.

Not if the two people who voted "everyone says yes" are Sam Hinkie and Phil Jackson!

We need a center that can hit ft's, pass, block shots,and generally be a good go to scorer....even better if he can space the floor. That type of center would help CBS and propel his system.

Towns or Kristaps would be great....Myles Turner has the skill set and contributed, but does he fix the muscle imbalance that made him run weird? IMO yes because he has made a huge change since leaving college. But I can not say anything for sure, Towns could have knee problems in several years...who knows

All I know is that Turner has the skill set and mentality to be a great big man. If/when he does finish his pt (2 years drs say but could be sooner and he can play while also working on the pt) and gets much stronger.....watch out TOWNS AND KRISTAPS

Is there convincing evidence that NY wants to move Anthony as opposed to using their roughly $20 million in cap space available to them, if both Affalo and Derrick Williams opt in, to upgrade the point guard position.? The cap space moves to over $30 million if they both opt out. IMO it would take Brooklyn 2016 + expirings to even possibly get them interested.

Give it a rest.

A three-team, intra-division trade would never happen, no matter what it was.

[Ogaju]

I actually like this deal, but it looks like Philly and New York say NO because it could make Boston a powerhouse.

Thanks to anyone that read my idea. If you feel that it is unfair for the Knicks and the Sixers let me know what more would need to be added for it to be fair.
