With all these interesting and creative CB trade ideas, I decided to take a crack at it:

What do you guys think of Amare coming off the bench for the Celtics?

Love it! He would be our 6th man while also being the last guy on the bench.

Dude you rock! I think he can manage playing 64mins a game.

The funny thing is, I'd rather have this trade than some of the ridiculous rubbish that's been thrown about lately.

TP Jsaad, that was good.

If you put Perkins in the trade, it would make a lot more sense for Phoenix, and the C's would be able to keep a bunch more players.  Perkins, Scalabrine, House, and T. Allen works.  I think we would have to throw in one other young player (Davis, Powe, etc.) to make it more enticing for Phoenix.  Also, if you throw in some cash it would be more worthwhile.  Phoenix by getting a guy like Perkins, will be able to extend Shaq's career by playing him a lot less minutes.  House fits in well with their shooting desire and T. Allen provides some much needed defense on the bench.  A guy like Davis or Powe is a good compliment to their remaining players.  C's would then just start Amare along side KG, Pierce, Allen, and Rondo to form an incredibly formidable starting five.

Of course I'm just dreaming because Phoenix can and will do better for Amare from someone else.

The funny thing is just yesterday I said to my son that I would trade the entier Celtics bench for Amare and fill in the rest of the roster with D league players. Little did I know that it would work.
Man I'm a genius.

ROFL.  10 Players for 1?  Man this is like a crack induced trade scenario.  Hope Amare enjoys being the Celtics entire bench...

Just imagine Amare running the point if Rondo gets in foul trouble.

this thread is proving to be a good test of who gets sarcasm over the interwebs. Nice one J, TP.

The funny thing about this is that Amare would still be insulted that he is expected to come off the bench, even if it is for 40 minutes a game

No need to get serious on this, since there is probably no possible reasonable serious suggestion.
