Deals That Make Sense....

I love this time of year. All these NBA free agents just waiting to sign...and loads of trade rumours throughout the league. Most of the trade rumours never happen -but there are a few that seem to make sense and should happen...

There are rumblings of a 3 way trade involving the Knicks, T-Wolves, and Warriors.
David Lee goes to Minnesota.
Al Jefferson goes to the Warriors.
Monta Ellis goes to the Knicks.
This makes complete sense doesn't it.

David Lee and Kevin Love would be the twin white towers in Minny. They could add in Ricky Rubio next season and try to field an all white guy line-up.
Al Jefferson, despite his slow return from knee injuries, is exactly the type of big man the height challenged Warriors could use.
And Moped Ellis would love the up tempo, shoot when you want Knicks style. The Knicks could pair Ellis with Amare.

Latest rumblings are that the Warriors are not interested in Big Al. I'm not sold that Al is done. You would think there would be some interest in his services.

Anyways, I still think this 3-way should happen.

And what about all the rumours of a sign and trade deal involving Chris Bosh. If you were running the Raptors, don't you have to get some assets back for him. You can't just let him walk for nothing. So, what would be the best deal???

The Knicks and Raptors apparently have discussed Bosh to NY for David Lee. At least you get a guy back who can be 20 and 10. Maybe you could get NY to throw in Wilson Chandler or Gallinari to sweeten the pot.

What about the Rockets?? Maybe you could get Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola, and some draft picks?

If Bosh wanted to go to Miami - would Beasley and Chalmers and a #1 pick be enough?? Not in my mind.

Bosh to Chicago? I'm sure you could get Luol Deng and Taj Gibson. Deng and Turkoglu play the same position so maybe you could move Deng somewhere.

There are some options here...and the Raptors have to get something in return.

So where will the big boys sign??
Amare looks like he's headed for NYC.
Where will Lebron, Wade, Bosh, and Boozer go???
My new guesses...
- Lebron stays in Cleveland
- Wade lands in Miami or Chicago
- Bosh joins Wade wherever he lands
- Boozer goes to New Jersey to tutor Derrick Favors

Of course, I can change my mind again in an hour.
