NYK: PF Kenneth Faried
DEN: SG Iman Shumpert, PF D-Will, 2015 first-round pick via NYK, 2016 first-round pick via MIN
MIN: SF Wilson Chandler

All the salaries work out. These three teams have also worked together in the past (Melo trade). Just a thought. I'd be in favor.



Il do that deal. Need to Put some protection on the 2016 1st and it's a go for me.




All of those guys have legit value around this league. Chandler and Faried were playing heavy minutes for a 55-win team. Shumpert was offered straight up for Faried.

The Wolves have no chance to land any of them for Derrick Williams.


And all of those guys also have legit reasons as to why they may not stay on their current teams. Shumpert's fallen out of favor with Knicks owner Dolan AND Hardaway Jr looks better each game. Chandler and Faried aren't the best fits for the type of game Brian Shaw wants to play in Denver. D-Will can't get minutes in Minnesota. The reasons are there even if none of them get traded.

You are correct, the report was that the Knicks offered Shump straight up for Faried, but Denver rejected it. Doesn't mean they aren't interested, though. I honestly don't see where my offered three-team deal doesn't help all involved.

Fair points from all sides on Lee and it was why I wasn't all that excited when he was a FA in signing him as the starting SG. Lets be clear on this though. You look at his numbers and he has played on winning teams and you have to ask yourself this. Is he better than Williams? does he provide something and at a position of current need? I think the answers are yes. If Adelman wants him I'd be totally in on Williams straight up for Lee with a 3rd team involved. Its tough though he is signed for too much for too long as a bench player.

Hummel had another very solid game tonight showing he is just flat out a better player than Williams. Hopefully some team gives us something of value back. It would be nice to get a late 1st round pick for him. I know thats wishful thinking. Why do we suck and have such bad luck at the draft?
