For Boston: They jump start the next rebuild
Rondo
AB/Evans
Green
Splitter/Sully
Cousins/Melo
For NY: They greatly improve their chance to beat the Heat with a front court of Melo, KG and Chandler. The team defense improves. This would be a good fit for KG.
For SA: They add another threat in Pierce (either starting or off the bench) Pierce plays the same team game the Spurs do.
For the Kings: They add a star (when healthy) that can sell tickets when they move to Seattle. I don't think the players they have now will do that.

Plus for Boston, the team save money this year getting under the tax level.

Really not a bad return getting three youngsters (althought I hate Evans) and an expiring to start the rebuild. Depends on how much Splitter asks for in the offseason.

I think this deal probably overvalues Amare a bit. Rumor has it that he was offered around the league this past off-season basically for free, and NY had no takers.
Now, he was injured then, and he's healthy and is scoring / shooting well now, so I'm sure he's got more value now. However, I don't think he's got enough value to land Cousins and Tyreke.

Probably true.

This is some artful work. You've been at it a while
I'm terrified of the combined impact of losing two leaders and gaining two dudes with the stink of Sacramento stuck to them.

I love, by the way, that you managed to make the Knicks even older!
-
yea anytime you put together a 4 team trade you have to get creative but no way in the world does Sac does that

Yet less likely to have a big man go out with an injury. :)

The deal is good for everyone except its horrible for Sacramento.

I get the feeling the Cousins is never going to reach his potential with that organization. Eventually, they will dump him.
And I don't think they are looking to resign Evens this offseason.
Amare would give them someone that can sell tickets. His addition to NY help turn that franchise around.

Yes, I am reaching here.
