If these rumors are true, here's one of the largest trades I've ever thought of. I think it gets it done for all teams involved and actually helps all teams involved:

New York Knicks Trade (to the Suns):
Channing Frye…F/C
Nate Robinson…G
23rd pick
Cash considerations

4th pick
Marcus Banks and the 29th pick

Knicks Trade:

David Lee…F


New Jersey Nets Trade:
Richard Jefferson…SF
Jason Collins…C

New Jersey Nets Receive:
Lamar Odom….F
Trenton Hassell…G/F
Kelvin Cato…C


The Knicks get KG, a backup PF that would open up the game for Curry when KG rests in Vladimir Radmanovic, a solid backup center with Collins and a bad contract in Hudson, who should be bought out.

The Lakers get another star player to put next to Kobe that could dominate. James is the PG they need with them letting Smush Parker walk via free agency; James is a perfect fit. Eddie House is filler but can shoot jumpers.

The Wolves bring in a solid player in Jefferson that could be the complimentary piece to a future star. He could be the stepping stone to getting them back on track post KG. They also receive the 4th pick which very well could be the future star I have been referring to in addition to a 1st round caliber player in Morris. James and Rose are cap fillers.

The Pacers receive as good a package they could receive for a guy that may have demanded a trade. If those rumors are true, the ball is in our court since the Pacers HAVE to find a team to take JO. In return for him, they get a pretty good package with a solid young player that could be a franchise player in Bynum. They also receive David Lee which helps them solidify a future all-star caliber front court. Jefferies is a capable player as a defender in certain systems and Francis is cap filler and potential trade bait once his contract enters its final year.

The Nets make the trade because Odom is capable of playing the 4 and scoring next to Krstic which is what there looking for. Odom is significantly better than the player he was with the Heat, so they very well would be receiving an all-star in the East. Hassell is a swingman replacement for Jefferson; he plays excellent defense and is a solid role player.
