Perfect Fireworks ThreeTeam Trade!

[Aymanelgowainy]

A couple of ideas on other threads got me thinking and I think i figured out a three team trade between NYK, HOU, and BOS to fill each teams biggest needs and all teams get fair returns...

Boston IN: Harden, Tyson Chandler, Parsons
Houston IN: Rondo, Melo, Green
Knicks IN: Asik, Lin, Bass, Houstons 1st rdr

This trade seems to work PERFECTLY for everyone involved...

Why Houston? Houston gets an allstar PG as well as their most coveted target in Rondo and Melo while also adding an excellent backup SF in JG or even using him as a stretch four alongside Dwight... Works for them!

Why New York? New York upgrades their center position while filling in a much needed PG slot with a fan favorite while adding a solid rotation PF who is much better than Bargs and Stoudemire and would complement Asik well... The also get a draft pick in return to help speed up the process for Phil Jackson... Works for them!

Why Boston? The Celtics get to upgrade the SF position with a much younger, cheaper, and a more consistent better overall SF in Parsons while also filling in their biggest need at center by grabbing Tyson Chandler (2012 DPOY) while also filling in their second biggest need  (scoring wing) in James Harden at the same keeping BOTH draft picks which they could use to grab a PG (Exum, Smart, Ennis) or draft a backup scoring wing (Lavine, Harris, Warren, etc)...
WORKS FOR THEM TOO!!

Houston starting 5: Rondo, FA SG/Play JG at SG, Melo, TJones, DwightHoward
Knicks starting 5:  Lin, FA SG or drat SG, Shump, Bass, Asik
Celtics starting 5: Exum/Smart/Ennis, Harden, Parsons, Sully, Chandler

Houston can challenge for title again while NY and Boston become serious playoff threats!

Don't see the Knicks going for this.

For the love of the Holy Trade Machine, enough with the caps lock.

Knicks can't say No fast enough.  Not sure if Houston jumps at it either but they might.  Melo's an upgrade over Harden (IMHO) but is Rondo/Green worth Parsons/Asik/Lin/1st -- maybe.  when it's broken down into parts, it's not bad for Houston but really bad for NY

[Aymanelgowainy]

Why would the Knicks say no?
Melo+Chandler=Asik+Lin+Bass+1st
Knicks out of all teams know how valuable Bass is with his defense while Lin is also a huge fan favorite in NY and could deliver performances close to his old days as he seems to love the big crowds of MSG... Meanwhile NY upgrade their injury-prone center into a younger Asik who could work in NY's system similarly to how he was used in Chicago... On top of all that they get a draft pick to speed up the process while they come back into playoff contention next season... I believe they should jump at an offer like this instead of losing Melo for nothing in FA..

We'd have to throw in at least one first to make this happen.

That would still be an awesome trade!!!

 I love the trade,

 but it does not work  money wise I tried on  NBA Trade machine and it doesn't work

if you wanted it to work it would go like this

 new york would do this if they got a first round from us and a first round from Houston and carmelo would say sign and trade me.

Without question.

Houston makes out like bandits getting Rondo, Melo and Green?   

Knicks don't get the return they would seek for Melo.

Celtics make out pretty good.

I would probably do it but it would need to be tweaked and we would need to somehow get a PG.

We could always get a PG in the draft (Exum/Smart/Ennis or even KyleAnderson/Napier) or in FA... NYK should pull the trigger on this trade before they lose Melo for nothing... Asik, Lin, Bass, and a couple of firsts is the best deal they'll ever be offered for Melo...

Thats still an awesome trade! We get an excellent rising star in THJ while getting a rim protector in Asik as well as a solid rotation player in TJones... All of that while having three first rounders this year...
Imagine if we get Hayward in FA and draft Exum/Smart with the first pick, Lavine/JamesYoung with our second, and TJ Warren/Early/GlenRobinsonIII with our third pick... Our team would be:
PG: Exum/Smart, Pressey, Bayless(FA)
SG: JamesYoung/Lavine, THJ, CJ.... (we could still bring back AB)
SF: Hayward, Warren/CleanthonyEarly/GlenRob, Wallace
PF: Sully, Olynyk... (We still have Bass to use in a trade-maybe for another pick- and we could bring back hump or use him in a sign and trade...)
C: Asik, TJones( TJones is a bit undersized for C but is better suited for C than Sully or KO...) we could still bring back Hump and give him minutes at C or trade Bass for another young center or a draft pick...

Not a contending but def a playoff team in the weak east and is a much better team than this season...

this is incredibly lobsided, but I love it. Maybe if Boston gave up all their draft picks they could talk the Knicks into it.

  You'd be really lucky if that team got the 8th seed.

Exactly. The only way this would work for the Knicks is if Harden ended up going to the Knicks instead of coming to Boston.

But then, if you go that route, how does it benefit the Celtics?
