Just throwing it out there... Rox get Steve Nash - Self explanatory Suns get Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier - Suns get their PGuard of the future and a good veteran expiring deal. Also saves them a ton of money and Sarver loves that. then Rox get Carmelo Anthony(With no extension) - Self explanatory Nuggets get Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson, JJ and Ish Smith - Without an extension, Nuggets get a scorer and young big. Also a young Pguard to develop and an expiring deal. Nash/Lowry C.Lee/T-Will Melo/Budinger Scola/Hayes Hill/Miller
I'd trade battier, Budinger, Draft picks plus Hayes for him and then turn around and do a Brooks and Jeffries trade for Nash.
We are not giving up Kevin Martin for a few month rental of Anthony... Period! If we acquired Melo (a big if) first I could see us giving up AB for Nash but not before...
HOUSTON TRADES: Courtney Lee, Jordan Hill, Ishmael Smith, Yao's expiring PHILLY TRADES: Andre Iguodala, Spencer Hawes, Andres Nocioni HOUSTON: PG: Aaron Brooks | Kyle Lowry SG: Kevin Martin | Chase Budinger SF: Andre Iguodala | Terrence Williams | Andres Nocioni PF: Luis Scola | Patrick Patterson C: Spencer Hawes | Brad Miller | Chuck Hayes Why: Hawes and Nocioni are familiar with Adelman's system. Hawes is a good fit for the motion offense, can play the high post and can learn from Brad Miller. Iggy gives us the superstar we need and can handle the ball. PHILLY: PG: Jrue Holiday | Ishmael Smith SG: Courtney Lee | Lou Williams | Jodie Meeks SF: Evan Turner | Thaddeus Young | Jason Kapono PF: Elton Brand | Jordan Hill C: Marreese Speights | Tony Battie | Darius Songaila Why: Evan Turner gets to run the show. They invested a high pick in him and it would be a waste to have him play out of role and off the bench. Philly clears a bunch of cap space - they cleared Iggy and Nocioni's contract and have just Brand's to worry about.
seriously I love AI and would like to see him on the Rockets but not at the expense of giving up 2 of the 3 best players on this team (Lee and Hill)
Disabled players exception for Haywood. Then Battier+Bud+Brooks for G.Wallace. Lowry/Smith Martin/Lee Wallace/T-Will Scola/Hill Haywood/Miller Hayes/Jeffries/Pat
Hill+Budinger+Jeffries+Smith (young wake forest pg)+ 2012 first rounder (lottery protected) for Wallance and Nazr Mohammed. Mohammed/Miller/Hayes Scola/Hayes/ Patterson Wallace/Battier/Williams Martin/Lee/Williams Brooks/Lowry

All I want for christmas is the following trade to go down: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=25dh8qw Lowry/Smith Iggy/K-Mart Wallace/T-Will Scola/Patterson Hayes/Miller
Follow up that trade with this one. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2cbbkpm Lowry/Smith Iggy/Williams Wallace/Battier Randolph/Landry/Hayes Cousins/Yao/Miller Let Curry / Yao / Hayes expire and resign Yao / Battier Give Sacramento our pick. Shorten up the rotation and bring in more length/athleticism/defense.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine Philly loses both huge contracts OKC gets a legit post player, doesnt have to worry about Greens contract therefore saves money for Westbrook. Houston, yeah well! ") Sactown is the challenge on this trade? Gets multiple proven young players in Brooks and Green and a replacement post player in Patterson. Houston has picks that can be distributed (if needed) to who?
First rule of trade proposals, can't combine Trade Exceptions with players for one player. You can only trade an exception straight up for a player. Can't combine.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine PG: Aaron Brooks | Kyle Lowry | Ishmael Smith SG: Courtney Lee | Chase Budinger SF: Andre Iguodala | Terrence Williams | Andres Nocioni PF: Luis Scola | Patrick Patterson C: Spencer Hawes | Brad Miller | Chuck Hayes
