PHO/NY/POR
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=awoomrw
Portland gets: J.R. Smith, Jermaine O'Neal
Phoenix gets: Victor Claver
NY gets: Shannon Brown, PJ Tucker
For Portland: gets 2 experienced vets on its bench for its playoff run.
For Phoenix: sacrifices Tucker to turn Brown's 3.5 per over 2 years into Claver's upside and 1.3 per over 3 years. Gets rid of O'Neal in the process without having to pay his whole contract.
For NY: NY has too many scorers and needs a defensive, tough-minded 3 to put next to Melo. Dolan can deal with Brown's contract. Perhaps add in a Prigs/Telfair swap as well?

Re: PHO/NY/POR
Portland isn't looking like a playoff team or a quick first round exit at best. I don't think they are looking to gear up for a playoff run this season. That said Portland isn't giving much in value away, just kind of a weird deal. I really doubt JR Smith would be happy at all going from NYC to Portland, I could see bringing a pretty bad attitude with him.

I imagine JR would HATE getting traded from NY to Portland. I've never been a fan of his, but just on the value, I'd take it. I suppose at the very least, it opens another 1.3 in cap space for Portland, removing Victor, and assuming JR opts out.

Suns wouldn't trade Tucker in a deal like that.

How about this one? http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=aw5wb7a
Phoenix gets about $3m extra cap room and gets rid of Beasley.

As appealing as it would be to get rid of Beasley the Suns wouldn't want to be locked into a specialist like Novak. If Novak could be flipped for expirings then it would make sense.

I don't know if Novak can get a 2013 expiring but how about Linas Kleiza at $4m per for 2 years?

I'd probably do that.

Lol the Blazers aren't needed in this one. The Suns would trade Brown and Trucker for Smith.
Suns.

I don't know about that. He'd sulk all season and then walk. At least Portland is a playoff team.

Re: PHO/NY/POR
There is no way the Knicks trade JR for this package. His scoring is needed, his defense is good, and the Knicks don't need the extra depth.

Re: PHO/NY/POR
Portland would probably say yes. I like it. It makes us immediately better and entails no risk.

No, they wouldn't since Smith certainly will opt-out of his deal while Tucker is signed for another year. Smith can't help the Suns and would walk away next summer.'
