    Depends how they feel about Anderson. Also they might want to avoid having a disgruntled Wade on their hands. But yes, in general, the Bulls have the least reason to do this.

    I kinda like this one, although I'm higher on Crabbe than most people. If it was Turner instead of Crabbe, maybe.

    I don't think the Suns do this.

    Think deeper. We rid ourselves of Turner's contract and Butters while freeing up enough $$ to re-sign Big Nurk.

    Exactly. And everyone off the books in two years when we cna spend some money to bring in the final pieces to the puzzle of our future core of Dame/CJ/Nurrk/Turner/Swannigan/Collins/Vonleh.... or whoever of those aren't panning out.

    Point being is they are more than serviceable and improve our team for the next season or so, but then frees up our cap issues so we can pounce on the right FA/lopsided trade to bring in that missing piece two years from now when GSW is on the decline.

    Swap them. We need one of them off the books. I prefer to keep the ball handler if we are bringing in non ball handlers though.

    Why not? I said we should include a pick or two. Maybe they go to them instead of the Knicks. Does that sweeten it enough in your opinion?

    I don't think Robert Sarver is going to pay 19million a year for 3 years to a PF who could possibly take minutes away from Bender/Chriss/warren/williams/jackson.

    One of the cheapest ownership groups in the NBA is not adding 60+ million in additional salary for Anderson and Lee. Wade has one year left on his contract, worst case scenario he pouts and leaves next year.

    Maybe they should take them both? Anderson and Gordon and Ariza to Portland; Harkless and Turner to NY; Anthony and Crabbe to Houston. Portland saves about $7 million immediately and another $7 million next year when Ariza contract expires. We get older but they're only 28 and 29.

    What I find funny (well, it's kinda sad) is that in most of these proposed trades, whoever gets stuck with Butters is an automatic -5 to -15 wins....

    HAHA you noticed that too? I tried a couple different options that didnt look as good, but everytime, Leonards new team was the biggest loser.

    Is that such a bad trade? Add Quarterman going to Portland and it will work capwise. Portland saves about 14 million right away (is that possible?) and another 9 million after one year . Couldn't Lin and Gordon be more valuable to the team than Turner and Crabbe? That leaves a deficit in the SF area because Harkless is younger but right now Ariza is a better all around player.

    I like this one but I'm sure NY would want draft pick as well.
