    I can't--first of all, I lose in the talent department since Wade is slightly better than Melo, and Bosh is miles better than Brand.

    But why would it help? You are left with two SFs in Melo and Granger and I'm left with Wade and Martin. I think that's why we would need a three-way.

    I might be able to involve Pierce in the three-way JMC.

    Would you be interested in a Westbrook + West for Kidd + Bosh type of deal?

    Thanks, but I'll decline. I have plenty of scoring in the backcourt--I don't need to make it any more back-loaded. I don't think the salary matches up anyway.

    Try it out then. I was just trying to get a baseline for the trade. We could add and take pieces out.

    Salaries are close so we'd have to add/subtract scrubs but here's the framework of it. Let me know what you guys think of it.

    RedNation--
    In: Bosh, Kidd, Kevin Martin
    Out: Wade, Holiday, Brand

    thething--
    In:Wade, Pierce, Jefferson, Lowry
    Out: Martin, Kidd, Melo, Bosh

    JMC--
    In: Melo, Holiday, Brand
    Out: Pierce, Jefferson, Lowry

    Kidd
    Martin
    Granger
    Bosh
    Camby

    Talk about no defense! haha. In all honesty, I really like this trade but your lineup would be too great to accept this :grin:

    Now that is a no-defense lineup. I tried the CP3/Terry lineup in the last draft. I lost. Badly. Having Bargnani doesn't help next to old Camby. Don't do the trade.

    Don't do it because holiday is mine. I'll think of a trade.

    Aw, come on. :)

    I don't think it's that much of a hit defensively and it's a huge upgrade offensively. Bosh>>Brand and Kidd>Holiday.

    Bosh is a better defender than Brand. Kidd is a better defender than Holiday. It's just Martin and he's really not all that bad...you could still have a good defensive team with him on the roster.

    Also having Paul and Terry next to each other they are both short a Stephen Jackson type player will shoot right over them easily.....Kidd is a bigger pg so it works next to Terry

    It's not that easy to shoot over someone and you can burn anyone taller with the speed of your guards.
