From the article...
"Only Hardaway Jr. was mentioned as “untouchable” in the report, and while the other three would each seem to have a certain level of value, they also have their flaws."

I pass, he's the only one that I want from the Knicks...

Nope ....not on a team like the Celtics are at the moment.

We need elite talent in the worst way .....star talent to build on

More Brandon Bass players is not helping the situation.

You need serious talent ....either trade or tank for it..

I would do Green, Bass and Bogans for Stat and Shumpert.

Then, sign Evan Turner to replace Green.

Amare's contract would give us an expiring 22 million deal and that much more cap space for next summer.

Plus, I kinda like this lineup for next season. Maybe we even make the playoffs

PG-Rondo/Smart/Pressey
SG-Bradley/Thornton/Shumpert/Young (you know Bradley is going to miss time with injuries)
SF-Turner/Wallace (Shumpert can also play the 3, right?)
PF-Amar'e/Sully/Olynyk
C-Zeller/Faverani/Anthony

Not too shabby (IMO.)

Plus, that leaves you with alot of money off the books for next season to resign Rondo and go after a 2015 max free agent like Love, Gasol or Aldridge.

I would like Larkin. Smallish like Pressey, but an upgrade because he's a much better shooter.

only if green doesnt opt out

Green is likely opting out next season.  In fact, that he is opting out is rumored to be one reason his trade value is low, as teams don't want to pay much for a one year rental.

Since Green is opting out, there are no cap saving next year, because Bass and Bogans will also be gone.

?? Not sure I am following you.

If Green does end up opting out (which is not guaranteed as he would be leaving 9 mil on the table) that's even more incentive for the Knicks to do the deal because they'll also be hunting for cap space next summer.

In the interim, they get Green to be a 6th man and back up Melo at the SF position.

For the Celts, they get an established (though admittedly injury prone) vet in Stoudemire who will provide the team some experience.

The only real obstacle that I could see flying in the face of the "cap savings" aspect is how much of a contract would you have to sign Turner to?

If he be willing to take 1 year deal to sorta restablish himself after his failed Indy stint, all the better

Calling A'mare "admittedly injury prone" is like saying that driving a manual transmission in a city requires "a little bit of shifting."
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Shumpert sure, he has value. Not that I have much interest in giving up something for him.

J.R. Smith has negative value, terrible contract for his production and terrible attitude.

I wouldn't take Smith to get Shumpert either. Especially with Shumpert's upcoming next contract due soon.
