GREAT Denver-New Jersey-Indiana Trade Idea

Since Denver and New Jersey need a third team involved in any trade involving Melo, Indiana would seem to be an excellent third partner.  Larry Bird is in a make or break year as GM, and needs to make a bold move.  Here is the scenario:

Denver Trades:

Melo, JR Smith

Denver Gets:

Troy Murphy, Derrick Favors, and Mike Dunleavy (and a #1)

New Jersey Trades:

Troy Murphy, Devin Harris, Travis Outlaw and Derrick Favors

New Jersey Gets:

Melo, JR Smith and TJ Ford

Indiana Trades

TJ Ford and Mike Dunleavy

Indiana Gets

Devin Harris and Travis Outlaw

This works on the RealGM Trade Checker - #5699926

Denver gets two solid big men and versatile small forward in Dunleavy (Dunleavy and Murphy have expiring contracts).   Jersey gets their star in Melo (who will sign the extension because he gets to live in NY and stay with his homey JR), and some outside shooting/scoring with JR Smith.   Indiana unloads TJ Ford and gets a solid PG in Harris and scoring forward in Outlaw. Bird saves his job!

We will have to wait until December 15 to do the deal due to Outlaw, but this seems like a no-brainer for all 3 teams.  Let's get this done!

I like it

as long as Denver gets either Terrence williams or Damion James as well. Dunlevey kind of sucks and isn’t Denver’s future Small frward.

Murphy, Dunleavy, Nene, and Harrington can Score

…it’s the defense I would be concerned about. But, this seems to be a win-win-win trade that keeps Denver competitive and gives the cap flexibility/young talent in the future. A starting 5 of Billups, Murphy,Nene, Harrington and Dunleavy could score 120 on any given night.

I like this far more than Kirelenko and Favors, neither of whom are scorers

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
