BOS/CHI trade idea

[Moranis]

Boozer, Snell, Future 1st

for

Humphries, Faverani


I think this a trade that would benefit both teams, but I'm not sure either one would really do it.  Chicago, saves some money this year, but a ton of money next year and thus doesn't have to amnesty Boozer to get the room necessary to bring Mirotic over.  It also clearly opens the interior for Gibson who is better than Boozer right now anyway.  Humphries is actually a good fit with Noah and Gibson, so they could potentially keep him long term and thus it isn't a total financial move.

Boston does it because 2015 is the real target for them and they pick up a nice young player in Snell and another future first to add to the asset collection.  They still have some trade exceptions and Bogans/Anthony/Bass/Boozer to use as expiring contracts this summer if they need salary for trades.
