Boston/Chicago/Brooklyn

[EDWARDO]

What the HELL are you doing posting this trade here?!?!    There's a very strict "reasonableness quantum" which you have violated here. This trade actually makes sense, so you will to change it up. Please revise the trade to include Josh Smith and Roy Hibbert coming on exchange for Eddy Lacerte and resubmit.

actually a good looking deal all around except for Boston. I dont think getting Humphries is really what youre looking for from KG but the bulls and nets would love it
Bulls get a PF they can have for a year that then goes away when Mirotic comes over
Nets get a better player the only way they can since they have no cap room anyway

This is all about getting the Charlotte pick. Top 10 protected for next year. Top 8 protected in 2015. Unprotected in 2016.

An expiring and a potential lotto pick for KG? Easy yes for the Celtics.

Lol yeah... and an easy no for the team holding the 2014 pick.

I love how some fans don't understand the value of lotto picks. It's incredible.  "Derp herp a derp Kris Humphries not enough for KG herp a derp".  Come on guys...

You're probably right but they do get to dump boozer and distance themselves away from the luxury tax.

I would love to see KG and Noah play together lol. They'd be fantastic defensively. And their energy would be incredibly contagious.

How about including Chuck Norris?

KG to the Bulls makes a TON of sense. They would immediately be favorites for next year. Think they should do it. Not fussed about what we get other than the pick, but getting Humphries would be GREAT. He's an asset as a rebounder and expiring deal. He's for big value for a contender.

The only problem with the reasonableness of the deal is: would the Bulls be willing to give up a lotto pick that could end up being very high in 2016 for what is most likely a 1 year rental of KG? I'd say no.

They want to get out of Boozer's contract, but he looked pretty [dang] good in the playoffs, nothing amazing but he was a very solid, effective and stabilizing presence for them. Of course KG is an upgrade, but the improvement isn't worth the Charlotte pick especially if KG only has one year left in the tank.

If the Nets are willing to include a future first or Marshon Brooks in the trade, the Bulls might be willing to take the 1 year of KG and downgrade their Charlotte pick for a future pick or Brooks (they do need SG help).

I think Chicago should include that Charlotte pick because they are getting the best player in the deal AND shedding a huge salary that they desperately want to rid themselves of.

But IF they were adamant on not giving that pick up, I'd take a 2014 1st and Marquis Teague.

Yeah they are getting the best player, but they are most likely getting him for only one year. And yes they want to move Boozer's contract, but the upgrade of KG over Boozer isn't enough to warrant a lottery pick being included.

The nets are actually getting a pretty good upgrade from Humphries in Boozer so if they can include a first and/or we include something (maybe the option to swap firsts down the line).

That way Chicago are getting the best player in exchange for decreasing their future draft pick. The Nets get an upgrade over Humphries for a pick and the C's move KG for a worse player, but get compensated with the Charlotte pick. Works all around.

If I'm trading KG I think there is a chance to get a lottery/midround pick at least from a team (if KG is willing to go to that team) so I'm not interested in back end 2014 picks like Chicago's. 2014 is a great class, but that rarely extends past the top picks. After that almost every draft is hit or miss.
