BOS: Acquire a SG, with length, athleticism and youth, who can spread the floor. Acquire a combo G who can score. Acquire a young wing prospect (who has already put excellent numbers in limited minutes) who profiles as a defensive stopper with the ability to finish on the break, as a catch-and-shoot option and, in time, at creating in the halfcourt. Acquire two tweener forwards with length, size and athleticism-- one is a scorer and the other is a defender. Acquire an extremely rich man's version of Glen Davis. All players are under 28 years old and five of the seven are 25 years or younger. All can play in an uptempo offense. Four of the seven are at least above average defenders. Five of the seven are on deals of two years or less, with the other two on market salary (or slightly discounted, dependent on role) four year deals.

POR: Acquire a post defender to pair with Aldridge for this year and until (if) Oden and Pryzbilla come back healthy. Acquire a very cheap wing prospect. Acquire a wing on an expiring contract.

PHI: Hit the reset button and shed ~$24.3M salary for the 2010-11 season. They could use Allen's deal to make further moves, let him expire or choose to attempt to resign him on teh cheap.

UTA: Shed ~$10M in 2009-10 salary (depending on which site you think provides the best salary information) and ~$13M in 2010-11.

4 teams 17 players.... something tells me ainge isn't going to trade away 9 players to get 7. where's pitino when you need him? And I'm pretty sure Batum is on the hard to get list in Portland.

[Kiss My Arse]

Right. I love Batum, btw.

File this in the very unlikely to happen bin. In my heart of hearts, I still dream of Nene and Mike Miller in green but that ship has long passed :-(

[Celtics17]

I would start Batum at shooting guard (or, even Fernandez, if you wanted to give Nic more time to mature), and keep Paul at small forward.

Can't you come up with something close to this good without losing Perk?
