NBA Trading Deadline Ideas (Early!)

Author: TuffyPublished: Feb 08, 2008 at 12:51 pm 1 comment

It's been a busy February on the NBA trade front, hasn't it? Shaquille O'Neal to the Suns; Pau Gasol to the Lakers; Jason Collins to the Grizzlies... when does the madness end?

February 21st, actually. Therefore, your favorite team still has time to make the big deal that will be a Big Deal and make them better in time for the final playoff push.

As a favor to the NBA in return for letting us have Jamario Moon, I have constructed one suggested trade for every team that will improve them immediately. Use these as a starting point with other general managers to get your team back on track or acquire that final piece to the apocryphal puzzle.

(Note: if you'd like to play at home, you're probably not Isiah Thomas.)


Eastern Conference

New Jersey Nets - Cash considerations to Fish'n'Yips pet store in East Rutherford, NJ, for an electric shock collar to use on Vince Carter every time he takes off a play. Also, burn cream for Vince Carter's neck.

New York Knicks - James Dolan for Larry Dolan. (Or, as we call it in the industry, "Goofus for Gallant".)

Boston Celtics - Doc Rivers for our 12th caller here on the Big Show. We're taking the 12th caller. Don't even bother calling in, Chris Ford.

Philadelphia 76ers - Calvin Booth for the Rocky statue.

Cleveland Cavaliers - LeBron James and sizable cash considerations to the San Antonio Spurs for the San Antonio Spurs.

Toronto Raptors - Jason Kapono and a second-round pick to the Wizards for Andrea Bargnani's noive. (Chris Bosh already has the brains and T.J. Ford definitely has the heart.)

Indiana Pacers - Stephen Graham, Kareem Rush, Danny Granger, Andre Owens, Shawne Williams, Jermaine O'Neal, Marquis Daniels, Ike Diogu, and Jamaal Tinsley to Utah for Mehmet Okur, Matt Harpring, Andrei Kirilenko, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Carlos Boozer (close enough).
