From what I've heard, the teams searching to make a big trade that yields a star are the Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, and New Jersey Nets. Obviously teams like the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls would love to land Carmelo Anthony, but as far as teams consistently working the phones and monitoring everything around the league, I'd say those are the four to keep an eye on.

Raptors Searching For Big Trade That Yields Star

what does this "report" even mean? Every team in the league wants to add a star. what are the raptors expected to do-add a high salaried player just because some other team wants to give them away for the tpe? Houston, I could understand; but I think that Tor, NJ, and Cle should all just do things the patient way; let your young guys develop, scout the NCAA's like crazy to make sure that your draft picks are impact picks, and develop your own star.

Going after a star now makes no sense. The Raptors don't have the foundation yet to support one. And getting a star over the age of, say, 24 makes almost no sense. I really hope Colangelo isn't going to give into the pressure of losing and try and find a quick fix. As a fan, that would be devastating. The only thing I can see is if the Raptors put together a package to try and get a young player on the verge of being a star (Stephon Curry, for example), then I can see that. But guys who the Raptors most definitely should not go after? Guys like...
Andre Iguodala
Danny Granger
Devin Harris
ANYONE on Detroit
Jason Richardson
Gerald Wallace or Stephen Jackson
Carmelo Anthony
Kevin Martin
Any one of those guys would simply push the Raptors into the realm of mediocrity and hurt the team long term.
If the Raptors could do this deal...

Jeff Green would ALSO be a nice pair. Perhaps better. But I can't see OKC giving him up.
Now, if we could get Thaddeus Young, I think that would be a SOLID get for BC.Last edited by Joey; Sat Jan 22, 2011, 06:10 PM.

Krstic is a very solid Starting C. Might give Amir and Ed more touches down low. Jeff Green becomes our co-#1 option with Demar. Not a completely horrible trade. I don't condone trading Bargnani, but this wouldn't be bad. Maybe if we could get a pick out of it, then even better.Last edited by Joey; Sat Jan 22, 2011, 06:12 PM.

Decent trade idea but I don't think OKC would go for it. They have a pretty good thing going chemistry-wise and that trade would only make them worse. Bargs doesn't help that team at all, although they could use a consistent scoring threat down-low. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Bynum on that team.

I'm not a huge fan of Krstic, but he's a better rebounder and defender than Bargnani, and he'd be fine until something better comes along, then he'd be a good backup.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

And here are a couple of deals for Stephon Curry, since we're on the subject of trade proposals....
