I can't see any way short of an additional 2 or 3 first round picks that they can trade Ray for Monta or KevMart. And KevMart may be traded because Evans is a two, anyway.
If Ray was on ANY other team I can see him traded to teams like the Lakers or Spurs but no way they trade him to another contender.
They would he best suited trading him for the bench they don't have.
I would do
Nate, Will, Jefferies, and Curry for Allen and a 1st rounder.
I think we could convince them to throw Pierce into the deal as well.
What you smokin' bro?
Eventually at all garage sales you got to decide if it is about the money or clearing out crap.
This kind of trade makes all the sense in the world for both sides.
Boston- Gets a replacement for Allen and a bench of Jefferies and Nate.
Perkins
KG
Pierce
Chandler
Rondo
Nate, Jefferies, Big Baby, House....
Hell I would even consider doing the whole cut thing with Allen so he can go back to Boston.
Knicks-you do this you can now sign Lee and 2 max free agents. You shed $20 or so mil from payroll. Now you can field a team of possibly
Hill
Lee
Gallo
Joe Johnson
Lebron
You are also not giving the Celtics anything really worthwhile that can kill you down the road...IMO. Nate also will agree to this trade.
I just checked this trade, I proposed it from my phone doesn't work.
Curry, Jefferies, and Nate for Ray Allen works according to ESPN, but not RealGM.
Curry, Jefferies, and Nate for Allen and Giddens works On RealGM.
Curry, Jefferies, Nate, and Will for Allen and Tony Allen works according to RealGM.
In any trade I would be willing to cut Ray Allen so he could sign back with Boston.
A move like this saves $18 mil(just Curry, Jefferies, and Nate) to $20 mil(with Chandler). Enough for another max contract. It moves our salaries down to $7 mil this summer. That can be as much as $47 or $48 mil in cap room!!!
A LBJ/Joe Johnson/David Lee shopping spree is actually possible!
