    Any chance they make any last minute trades? Kevin Garnett might look good in orange....

    Minnesota: We're lookin to trade KG.
    Bob Johnson: OK, Ill give you Sean May, Brevin Knight, Primo Brizec and a piece of cheese.
    Minnesota: That sounds good. We'll do that deal if you throw in ten bucks.
    Bob Johnson: TEN DOLLARS? No deal, ni**a.

    Here is a one of 5 trades that some talking head from ESPN Insider that "should" be considered:

    Trade 5:

    Ray Allen and Robert Swift to the Celtics

    Rashard Lewis to the Bobcats

    Sebastian Telfair to the Hawks

    Adam Morrison, Gerald Green, Josh Childress, Ryan Gomes, Theo Ratliff and a Bobcats protected first-round pick to the Sonics
    Why should the Celtics do it?



    AllenDanny Ainge told us on the podcast last week that Paul Pierce was untouchable … so he's going to have to get him some serious help.

    He tried to land Allen Iverson and Gasol, but couldn't get it done. Allen may be the only legit veteran whom Ainge could get with his combination of young players and Ratliff.

    Would Allen and Swift, an Ainge favorite, put the Celtics over the top? Probably not. But unless Ainge knows some voodoo that can get him KG, I think this is the best the Celtics can do. It will give them a shot -- an outside one -- at winning the East next season.

    Why should the Hawks do it?



    TelfairBecause Speedy Claxton has been awful and they keep passing on awesome point guards in the draft. With so many athletes on this team, someone needs to help jump-start the offense.

    Rajon Rondo (a guy they could've had in the draft instead of Shelden Williams) is better, but I don't think the Celtics are letting him go. Childress is a high price to pay for Telfair, but the Hawks really need to start grooming a young point guard.

    Why should the Bobcats do it?



    LewisBecause Lewis is much, much better than Morrison. Since Morrison isn't selling tickets, maybe it's better to have him pack up and move back home to an offense that will be better suited for him.

    Lewis can opt out of his contract this summer, but the Bobcats are so far under the cap they can afford to pay him whatever he asks. At some point the team has to start spending money and Lewis would be a good start. Put him with Emeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton and I think the Bobcats are on to something.

    Why should the Sonics do it?



    MorrisonThe team is going nowhere, it's bleeding money and it's time for a different direction. This trade gets the Sonics lots of young prospects and plenty of long-term cap relief.

    Morrison would be popular, Green has the potential to be a superstar and Childress is one of the more underrated young players in the game. They give up more than they get, no doubt. But the money savings and prospects make this a great deal for the Sonics if you take the long-term perspective.

    Will it happen?
    Four-way trades are incredibly complicated, so the odds are stacked against this trade. Still, it's something each team should consider.

    The Sonics have been strangely quiet as the trade deadline approaches, but lately there have been rumblings that at the very least, Rashard Lewis might get moved.

    We know the Celtics are working the phones, so they'll be game.

    And given Michael Jordan's recent letter to season-ticket holders promising that the team will be proactive in getting better and spending money, this would be a good time to walk the walk.

    If i am the Bobcats i do this trade right now .Sure we are going to give up
    Adam Morrison and a protected first-round pick That protected first-round pick that we give up it would be the pick that we are going to get from Toronto assuming that they don’t make the playoff We are going to give up Adam Morrison. Morrison is a good player and I think he become a very good player. His defense is not that good. In return The bobcats are going to get a very good player in Rashard Lewis only 28 years old 6’10 a he can play either PF or SF he can shot the 3 very well we are talking about I would say he is in the top 20 best player in the NBA right now maybe even in the top 10.With a lineup of Emeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton Rashard Lewis and Matt Carroll We are talking a playoff team and a team that can win a series or 2 in the playoff .in other word we have nothing to lose from making this trade we have everything to gain a big trade like will make fan show up and have 20k + for every home game

    Why would the Bobcats do this instead of waiting until Lewis opts out of his contract and hits the market? As noted, they could pay him whatever he wanted and still have Morrison and their extra 1st round pick.

    That trade would be beyond idiotic.
