My 4 Team Melo-To-Nets Trade Idea

It seems like there is a hold up between some of the teams involved in the recent 'Melo trade rumours... namely the Jordancats with their refusal to part with DJ Augustine even though they are the one benefitting the most in that 4 team deal considering they are only giving up the French Pastry...


... aka the Pillsbury Diawboy for Devin Harris. Unlike the failed Chandler deal, Charlotte is NOT a critical component to the 4 team Melo trade. Which means they can be replaced by any other team in the league.

I also would like to ask why the Nets are also moving Harris in the same deal when they DON'T need to? Why create a hole at the PG spot when it's one of the most important positions in the NBA today? Why not replace him with Troy Murphy? It creates a hole up front but 4's are a lot easier to find than 1's in the league. Not to mention that Harris has a bigger impact on the game.

So here is my proposal:

Trade:
Troy Murphy
Derrick Favors
Quinton Ross
2012 1st Round Pick via Golden State

Receive:

Carmelo Anthony
Chris Wilcox

Trade:
Carmelo Anthony
Renaldo Balkman

Receive:

Derrick Favors
Andrei Kirilenko
2012 1st Round Pick via Golden State

Trade:
Andrei Kirilenko
Ronnie Price

Receive:

Troy Murphy
Renaldo Balkman


Trade:

Chris Wilcox

Receive:

Ronnie Price
Quinton Ross

The Pistons don't use Chris Wilcox and need another point guard on the roster. Troy Murphy makes a lot more sense for Utah both financially and fit wise on the team. Not to mention that pudgy Diaw won't get off the bench with Sloan coaching the team.

Wilcox isn't much but a starting lineup with Lopez, Wilcox, Carmelo, Williams and Harris is better than Lopez, Murphy, Carmelo, Williams and Farmar.

The funny thing is, what the Nets should have done was KEEP Yi rather than dump him for nothing as he is looking like a different player this summer at the FIBA World Championship. Atleast then they wouldn't have had problems filling the 4 spot following the Melo trade. All the 3M in extra cap space got them was Farmar, Outlaw, Petro and Morrow. Ok fine Morrow was a good signing but the rest were below average at best.

But am I really surprised? They have this man running the team now..
