Trades with Washington

[Khelsier]

I wonder if Washington is willing to give up their starting SF for help at PF and C? If they are here are 2 trade ideas that could work nicely for us and them:

The simple trade: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=pnufqvf

Washington gets Sully and Zeller. This is a much needed upgrade in their bigs department.
Boston gets Porter, a jung SF with potential.


A 3-way trade: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zupw9a9

Washington gets Morris and Zeller for Porter and Humphries. Morris has 4 years on a decent contract while Zeller is a good backup. Plus he is a RFA. They again loose their SF for an upgrade at the PF spot. Getting rid of Humphries 2 year contract might actually be a bonus.

Boston turns 2 bigs, Sully and Zeller, into a promising SF, TJ Warren.

Phoenix might just be the winner of this one. Turning Morris, who does not want to be there, into Sullinger might actually be a good haul. Ok, one can debate that, but I guess that Morris trade value is pretty low right now. Flipping Porter for Warren might be a 50/50 trade. I kind of like Warren better but Porter might turn out to be the better player 2,3 years from now. What do you think?

I thought about these trades because Washington is playing badly and really in need of a PF/C and we have too many guys that can play these possitions.

How about a DIRECT trade with the Wizards that can be done as of today and that saves us $1.11 million.

We trade Zeller and Jerebko for Dudley and Gary Neal (who we likely waive).

Thoughts?

We get a solid veteran in Dudley, who as Kevin stated in his excellent article, LOVES him some Brad Stevens.  Dudley is deadly from three and is a very solid defender!!!

As the Wizards might buck at giving up Neal, subbing him out for Blair works and Blair is only playing 9.5 minutes per game and has only appeared in 13 of the Wizards 23 games.
