If you're like me, you are sick of the Oden vs. Durant debate knowing it is not only crying over spilt milk but also a false dichotomy. I for one wish them both to have spectacular careers.
And so now without further ado a 4 team block buster that addresses the needs of 4 teams:
Phoenix:
Out:
Amare Stoudamire
Steve Nash
In:
Travis Outlaw
Sergio Rodriguez
RLEC
Marco Benelli
Ronnie Turiaf
Anthony Randolph
Ike Diogu
Let's face it all the reports say Phoenix is desperate. In the above trade PHX gets alot of young talent and some cap relief at the end of the season (15+ million). They basically blow up the team but have some nice young pieces to start building around.
Orlando:
Out:
Hedo Turkoglu
In:
M. Williams (pg)
Steve Blake (pg)
K. Azubiake (SF)
Orlando trades Turkoglu and gets a couple of Point Guards that they desperately need and a SF to replace Hedo. As a side note Blake is now near his family in Miami not a bad place to end up.
Golden State:
Out:
K. Azubiake
B. Wright
A. Randolph
Ronny Turiaf
M. Belinni
In:
Amare Stoudamire
Golden state gets Amare and gives up a bunch of minor pieces for it. They easily get the best of this deal and might need to throw more Phoenix's way such as cash draft picks and possibly even more players.
Portland:
Out:
RLEC
Steve Blake
Travis Outlaw
Sergio Rodriguez
In:
Steve Nash
Hedo Turkoglu
B. Wright
Portland gets the starting PG we need to open the window right now. We also get to test drive Hedo and resign him in the summer if he is a good fit. We also get B. Wright who has an excellent PER for a SF and could be the gem of this trade.
