Assuming Howard does not want Boston as his team, and assuming KG will retire or be a second unit guy next year (along with Allen)- here may be a good trade: (Picks or throw-ins needed to even up if necessary)
Knicks get----- Howard, Bradley, Nelson, Oneal, (pick?)
Orlando get-----Stoudemire, Rondo, Wilcox, Daniels/or pick
Boston gets-----Chandler, Anderson, Shumpert
Knicks and Orlando get main pieces + potential (picks too) boston gets a chance to still compete this year, and size to pair with young guys for the future. Line-up for this year
Shumpert, Pierce, Allen, Kg, Chandler
Moore, Pietrus or Dooling, Pavlovich or JJJ (yes small forward), Bass, Anderson/Stiemsma.
Next year we may lose or move Kg and Allen (maybe Bass if he wants more money)- and have money to sign a wing scorer/creator (Green/) and still have a #1 pick to use for the future.
Worse case next year Shumpert, Pierce Pietrus, Anderson, Chandler
Moore, Allen or(FA), Green, JJJ Stiemsma / FA big
Draft pick /Pav / and FA (min) to fill out roster
Let the debate begin...
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.
