Green, Lee, Melo, and Picks for Smith
Rondo/Barbosa
Bradley/Terry
Pierce/Bass/Joseph
Smith/Sullinger/Wilcox
Garnett/Milicic/Collins
Makes sense in a lot of ways to me. Last time we were loaded with this much talent, we went out and got KG and Judas.
Pros for Boston:
1. Bradley guards Wade. Smith guards Lebron. Garnett guards Bosh. No other team in the NBA could shut down the Miami big 3 better than us.
2. Bass becomes a sixth man forward, and I think he would thrive there. He is very consistent and would provide bench scoring.
3. Clears up guard logjam once Bradley returns.
Pros for Atlanta:
1. Gets borderline star talent (Green), a scorer and defender, who would likely be their starting SG (Lee) and a FAB-ulous amount of potential.
2. Unloads Smith before he leaves for nothing.
EDIT: I'd also entertain the idea of swapping Sully for Melo, if it would get the deal done, but I'd rather not give him up.
