Bass and Thornton are likely to eat up minutes from our three guards - Rondo, Bradley, Smart and our three bigs - Zeller, Olynyk, Sullinger. I think it would be smart to move them in order to clear out playing time.
The Thornton/Bass/Anthony/Fav trade for Amare makes sense because the Knicks could use Bass and Thornton off their bench and probably Anthony as a backup center. The problem is they have more players than we do, so trading 2 for 4 doesnt make sense for them.
The Sixers need t take on some salary and have plenty of non-guaranteed contracts so they could take on a couple of extra guys. Maybe gettign Shumpert would be incentive for them.
