Here is my trade idea for Boston - it works in the trade machine:
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zwhnatm

I know some people are going to hate it, but I actually think it's pretty decent for all three teams. given their objectives.


Knicks
Goal: Rebuild
* Gets Amir's $12M expiring deal
* Gets an opportunity to sign Ibaka - it he walks they get a $12M expiring deal
* Gets a trio of young prospects
* Gets a pair of 1st round (non-Brooklyn!) picks from Boston


Magic
Goal: Obtain a scoring wing, get something for Ibaka
* Gets a solid veteran wing (Courtney Lee) so they aren't losing Ibaka for nothing
* Gets an excellent starting wing (J.Crwoder) in return for Vucevic
* Gets a serviceable young center (Zeller) to backup Biyumbo
* Gets a 1st round (non-Brooklyn) pick from Boston

 
Celtics
Goal: Build a contender
* Gets a star caliber closer (Melo) to take pressure off Thomas
* Gets a major upgrade at center with N.Vucevic, allowing Horford to slide back to PF

Not a bad trade. I think there's a chance that Melo is a non-starter for Danny. He has been accumulating assets for what seems like forever. I'm not sure that he wants to start cashing in chips like Crowder and 1st rounders for guys that won't be with the team for a while.

I think Melo would be a better fit on the LA Clippers/ OKC Thunder.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

On that note, I just came up with one I really like which I think both other teams like...I'll post a new thread :)

I've never seen a 14 player trade proposed before.  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is NEVER gonna happen!
