Trade suggestion - Deng and Stoudemire for Salmons, Fredette, Thornton

Send Salmons, Fredette, Thornton to the Knicks and Outlaw to the Bulls
Get Stoudemire and Camby from the Knicks, and Deng from the Bulls. All bad-to-terrible contracts, but great players (or a great potential mentor in the case of Camby).

Why would Bulls and Knicks do it? Both teams are over the cap. This trade would reduce Knicks payroll by 6.6M and Bulls by 10.3M.

This leaves the Kings with 3.8M under the cap, enough to sign Tony Allen (a FA who currently gets 3.3M from Memphis).

Depth chart:

1 - Evans/Douglas/McCallum/Thomas
2 - McLemore/Allen/Evans
3 - Deng/Patterson/Johnson
4 - Stoudemire/Patterson/Thompson
5 - Cousins/Thompson/Hayes/Aldrich

The only catch? They would need to go over the cap paying Evans, but if they find a way to get rid of Hayes and Thompson they can get back under.

Trades have to make sense for the other teams too, you know.

Bulls and Knicks are over the cap. Both trades improve their situation significantly - Knicks by 6.6M, Bulls by 10.3M.

I don't see the Bulls giving up Deng solely to gain some cap space.

bad knees stoudamire really ???????

 

[Mass]

Stoudamire?!? Last player I would want on this team. Bad attitude, horrible contract, no defense. Not counting he is done as a player and always injured.

 

[KingMilz]

a 4th PF who has terrible knees and IQ? Deng is also going to break down very soon imo even though he's 28 his body must be near the end I mean the guy leads the league in minutes played (plays both ends hard) or close to it than goes plays for Britain and he's done this for ages now sooner or later it will catch up hard to him.

Knicks and Bulls would laugh in our faces at the offer. Essentially, it's outlaw for deng straight up for the bulls.

 

[Bricklayer]

Seems like an awful lot of work just to get our hands on the league's most toxic contract.

Actually New York would say yes in less than a second. They would give Stoudamire a way for free.

Deng has a bum wrist. This would be the second summer he is forgoing surgery. He seems to not want to be out of commission and surgery may not even correct the problem. He's only 28 and still productive and sounds like a good lockerroom guy. However at this point you have to wonder if he would be a good investment long term. His contract is up next summer and you would need to put big money down. Both sides seem to be on different paths at the moment.
