      I said earlier in this thread (or another one) that CHI is the sleeper team in all of this. They could shop guys like Noah and Boozer for Dwight. At most, they'd probably have to give up Luol Deng as well.

        I'd trade Boozer, Asik, Gibson, and picks or a combo of these

          The Magic don't need a PF, Ryan Anderson is having a very good season. Noah will have to be involved, but the magic reay need a PG and rose won't go anywhere. So honestly who else can they give up? Deng and Noah isn't gonna cut it. In theory it's nice but they don't have the right pieces.

            That's probably too much for them, and they can't afford to trade Deng, he's one of the few players in the league who can defend LeBron.

            To make it to the Finals, you gotta go through LeBron and Wade.

            Chi would hurt their depth by trading for Howard, but Rose/Howard would be pretty sick.

              Deng and Noah would be far better than almost any other offer.

              Nets would offer who? Lopez, picks, and what? Kris Kardashian?

              LA could offer Pau and Bynum, but there would almost certainly have to be a 3rd team involved. And frankly, that probably makes LA worse.

              I have no idea whatsoever what Dallas could offer. Roddy Beau, and what?

                Lopez and stevenson or Brooks is better than deng and Noah. Lopez>Noah and Stevenson and Brooks would be an instant upgrade. Also Deandre Jordan with Bledsoe is better.

                  No, it's not.

                  Deng is a top-5 SF, and a great defensive player, and Lopez is not better then Noah. Lopez can't rebound, or play D while Noah does both well.

                  Doubt they trade Deng since he's one of the few players who can guard LeBron, and to make the Finals, they gotta go through Miami.

                      No clue, not many teams have the pieces to get him.

                      Lakers could get him if they offer Gasol and Bynum, but that makes them worse, not better.

                      Nets can't offer much.

                      Bulls if they really want him, but they can't trade Deng, he's the LeBron for them defensive wise.

                        No clue, but it should be a fun ride. Asik's skill level is the same as Dwight's when he came into the league. Noah played 4 years in Florida before, so that could be a draw for them. Right now nobody is playing well for Orlando

                          Could the celtics land him potentially?

                            Yes it is Deng is not top 5 off the top of my head

                            Lebron
                            Melo
                            Josh Smith
                            Caron Butler
                            Gerald Wallace

                            Are better

                            Second Brooks is worse than Noah at D but way better on O and can get rebounds, not to mention Brooks is having a very good rookie season and has the talent to emerge as a top SG in the league. Not to mention the money added with Noah and Deng is over 23mil

                              I doubt it. They could however it would be almost impossible to match up salaries as it would require a combination of players and the salaries for the big 4 are all large.

                              Garnet 21 Million
                              Pierce 15 Million
                              Allen 10 Million
                              Rondo 10 Million

                              Howard has a 17 million contract.

                              So it is very unlikely they could much due to the contracts and also they probably want youth so I doubt the Celtics were to get him in a trade.

                              I reckon the Bulls could trade for him. Noah, Gibson and picks

                                You forgot the most obvious one which is Kevin Durant. Add to that Rudy Gay who is better than Smith, Butler and Wallace. Also Danny Granger and also Danillio Gallanari is on his way up the list.

                                My top 5 would be:

                                Lebron James
                                Kevin Durant
                                Carmelo Anthony
                                Rudy Gay
                                Danny Granger
