Two Fake Trades

With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, here are three trades that would make sense:

1. The Golden State Warriors receive Dwight Howard, JJ Redick, Ryan Anderson. The Orlando Magic receive Monta Ellis, Steph Curry, Andres Biedrins, Klay Thompson.

What side says no to this trade? It is absolutely a blockbuster move that would significantly change the NBA and should be done. The Warriors get Howard, and two great 3 point shooters. Add in David Lee, Dorrell Wright, and Ekpe Udoh and they are an interesting playoff team.

The Magic will be able to get something for Dwight Howard, and get a lot. They can rebuild their franchise around Monta Ellis and Curry and Biedrins is a decent big man.

2. The Minnesota Timberwolves receive Andrew Bynum and Matt Barnes. The Los Angeles Lakers receive JJ Barea, Michael Beasley, Martell Webster

Minnesota can pair K-Love with Bynum to create a beastly interior and still have Rubio and Ridnour at the point. Derrick Williams can move to the starting lineup and Ellington would remain SG. They are a contender with that lineup and should make some noise in the playoffs.

The Lakers get the point guard they desperately need in JJ Barea and add the talented Beasley. Their need for a point guard makes them give more than they should in this trade.


These two trades should happen, make sense, and benefit both sides.
