Trade Idea: BOS/POR/LAC/NO

[pp34isthe1]

Boston Sends: Jermaine O'neal, Chris Wilcox, 2012 LAC 1st, Conditional 2nd (from Bucks, dooling trade), 3 mil cash
Boston Recieves: Gerald Wallace, Kurt Thomas

Portland Sends: Gerald Wallace, Jamaal Crawford, Kurt Thomas
Portland Recieves: Emeka Okafor, Brian Cook, Ryan Gomes, 2012 LAC 1st, 2012 Minn 1st

Clippers send: Eric Bledsoe, Brian Cook, Ryan Gomes
Clippers recieve: Jamaal Crawford

Hornets send: Emeka Okafor, 2012 1st (from Minn)
Hornets recieve: Eric Bledsoe, Jermaine Oneal, Chris Wilcox, 3 mil cash (Bos), Condition 2nd (bucks)

Why?

Boston: Gets a great 3/4 in Wallace that would be great in small ball lineups with KG at Center. They also get a backup big in Kurt Thomas.

Portland: Blows up the team. Pairs a big with Aldridge, 2 1st round picks in a deep draft.

Clippers: Get their man in Crawford without much in the rotation.

Hornets: Dump Okafor, get Bledsoe, recieve cash and a pick for their trouble.

_______________________________________________________________

Celtics keep KG at center, with Bass starting the 4 and Wallace the 6th man.

Rotations: 9-10 man

KG/Thomas/Steamer
Bass/Wallace/Thomas
Pierce/Wallace
Ray/Pietrus
Rondo/Bradley

This would be a terrific, if not unbelievable, trade for the Celtics. It's actually pretty fair on all sides, TP. I'm not sure it is enough for the Hornets, though, but that's my only concern.

If we did this deal, we'd be in the mix this year.
