Rumor is that CLE will get Amare from Phoenix in exchange for JJ Hickson, and Illgaskus, but that Illgaskus will be bought out by Phx. and return to CLE. No matter how you think this will work out chemistry wise in CLE, it's game over. Rondo, Ray, Paul, KG, and Perk cannot realistically beat Mo, Lebron, Amare, and Shaq in a 7 game series of we play like we've been playing this past season. The main reason the Suns aren't doing this is because they want to lose Richardson's contract, but the Cavs don't want J-Rich. IF they Cavs/Suns can find a 3rd team, and this deal goes through we're screwed. So say Danny finds out this deal is immeninet, why not become the 3rd team?

Boston gets: Leon Powe, J-Rich, and Gorgon Dragic
Cleveland gets: Amare, Sheldon Williams
Phx. gets: Ray, Hickson, and Illgaskus

Why for Cle: Get Amare for Hickson, Sheldon Williams for Powe, and get Big- Z back after 30 days.

Why for Phox: Save big bucks, lose J-rich's contract, get a rising star in Hickson, and an expiring mentor in Ray

Why for US!! We get an able Ray replacement in J-Rich. Everyone loves Powe, and we get him back!! And finally a back up for Rondo.
Could we beat CLE in a series with this? If Rondo is rested and
can go all triple double, J-Rich can give us 20 points, and we get solid post-play from a bench, maybe... So go Danny Go!

Conference foes don't make likely trade partners.

  Helping the Cavs win the title is a small price to pay to get Leon back.

I agree that the Cavs might not be enthralled to trade with us, but if Cleveland really wants Amare and we know they'll get him, might as well position ourselves to do better. Maybe someone could throw in a draft pick for us, as Danny has an amazing eye (Glen Davis, anyone?). And of course, like any true Celtics fan I LOVE LEON
